Joker’s Marottes

The curtain rises on a peculiar little theatre where every performer is assembled piece by piece. In Joker’s Marottes, your task is to study the stage, rearrange puppet elements, and create a row that satisfies the rule of the current performance.

Caps, faces, ruffs, and troupe identities can be mixed across the lineup. Swaps are limited to matching tiers, so every move matters. Some rounds ask for four distinct houses, while others introduce mirrored layouts, alternating traits, or different chorus conditions.

The House Bill offers several ways to play. Open House gives you room to experiment, Matinee adds time pressure, Blackout reduces the number of available exchanges, and Daily Call and Weekly Run bring fixed arrangements to solve.

Once you are satisfied with the cast, strike the gong. The full arrangement is checked at once, revealing whether your chorus holds together or where the lineup went wrong.

Away from the stage, Chorus Atlas explains the different troupe patterns, Miss Folio records unsuccessful attempts, Troupe Pins lets you keep favorite combinations, and recurring objectives give you new reasons to return.

Joker’s Marottes turns a whimsical puppet theatre into a game of visual reasoning, arrangement, and deliberate choices - one unusual performance at a time.
