# Puzzle Game Mechanics (Telegram Mini-App)

The Telegram Mini-App serves as the foundation of the Elaria ecosystem. It is designed to be a fast-paced, skill-based puzzle game where players must solve arcane puzzles to unlock magical energy and gather mana.

Key Gameplay Elements:\
• Match & Solve Magic Runes – Players match runes or complete logic-based challenges to restore Mana Streams and stabilize the world’s magical flow.\
• Time-Limited Challenges – Each puzzle is time-sensitive, rewarding quick thinking and strategy.\
• Tiered Difficulty – As players progress, puzzles become more complex, requiring deeper understanding of mana mechanics.\
• Daily & Weekly Quests – Special challenges provide bonus ELR tokens and in-game rewards.

Rewards & Progression:\
• Players earn ELR tokens upon successful puzzle completion.\
• Higher-level puzzles unlock new spell types, mana reserves, and game upgrades.\
• Special seasonal events introduce unique puzzle mechanics and rare rewards.

This mini-game serves as an introduction to the broader Elaria experience, helping players gather resources before engaging in the strategic battles of Phase 2.
