Each day, a mystery monster from Dofus Retro 1.29 is selected. Guess which one it is by typing monster names into the search bar.
After each guess, you get feedback on 5 attributes:
| Attribute | Feedback |
|---|---|
| Ecosystem | 🟩 Correct or 🟥 Wrong |
| Race | 🟩 Correct or 🟥 Wrong |
| Max Level | 🟩 Exact, 🟧 Within ±10, or 🟥 Far off - with ↑/↓ arrows |
| Color | 🟩 Exact, 🟧 Partially matching, or 🟥 No match |
| Max HP | 🟩 Exact, 🟧 Within ±20%, or 🟥 Far off - with ↑/↓ arrows |
Stuck? After a few wrong guesses, hints unlock progressively: the monster's image preview and its ecosystem name.
The puzzle resets every day at midnight Paris time.

Why only Dofus Retro 1.29?
Dofus Retro has a well-defined, stable bestiary that doesn't change frequently - perfect for a daily guessing game. The component structure is organized under DofusRetro/ to allow future game modes for other Ankama titles.
How is the daily monster chosen?
A deterministic hash of today's date (Paris timezone) seeds a PRNG that picks from the monster pool. The same seed always produces the same monster, so all players get the same puzzle. A 30-day anti-repeat window prevents the same monster from appearing too frequently.
Is my data stored anywhere?
Everything stays in your browser's localStorage. No data is sent to any server. Your stats, streaks, and daily progress are fully local.
