Simultaneous-move strategy with turtles and eggs. Imagine Reversi and Gomoku had a chaotic, charming child. Out now on iOS & Android. 🐢 whattheshell.games

Evening in a leafy beer garden: people chatting at long yellow tables beneath chestnut trees hung with glowing string lights, with a warmly lit kiosk and apartment buildings in the background.

Two people sit facing each other across a white table at an indie games event, each playing What the Shell on a tablet, with a busy crowd filling the room behind them.

A What the Shell board — a bamboo-framed pond grid with white turtles in a vertical line and one black turtle among them, a golden egg near the top. The panda opponent sits in the corner with a tooltip: "You blocked me! When we play on the same space, an egg appears."

Mid-game screenshot of What the Shell. A 9-square-wide board on a blue background framed by bamboo. White and black turtles cover most of the right side, with numbered eggs (1-6) scattered among them. Chuck (white turtles) is at top with score 15; "You" (black turtles) at bottom with 16.
