Roguelike trivia battles.

Knowledge is your weapon. Climb a branching dungeon, fight monsters with timed trivia, and push deeper through biomes that grow stronger each loop.

About the Game

Swords & Brains is a fantasy roguelike where your weapon is knowledge. Choose a hero, pick trivia topics, climb a Slay-the-Spire-style map, and defeat biome bosses — Forest, Caves, and the Ruined Keep — in endless escalating loops.

How to Play
