The player has to solve trivia questions and logic puzzles to advance through the game's nine chapters.

In 9 Elefants, the player assumes the role of a daughter named Laura, whose professor is kidnapped.[1][2] With her cat, she tries to track down the perpetrator.[1] Throughout the game's nine chapters, the player must answer trivia questions to earn collectibles that can be exchanged for a boss fight.[2] The game was released for iOS and Android on April 24, 2014.[1]

Reception

On Metacritic, the game has a "generally unfavorable" rating of 40/100 based on four critics.[3][6]

Pocket Gamer said " A game this beautiful deserves a lot more than the rambling plot and uninspired gameplay that brings it to an almost immediate halt. "[5] Adventure Gamers wrote, "9 Elefants effortlessly copies what should have been a successful formula on paper, but a lack of puzzle variety and story relevance causes most redeeming qualities to get lost in translation."[2] MacLife said " They say an elephant never forgets. We doubt we'll forget our experience with 9 Elefants, although not for the right reasons."[4]
