Independent fan project
This is an independent fan site for Project Stack — a mobile planning puzzle where you receive a fictional tech project’s linked tasks and must fit them into a limited calendar without breaking dependencies or Focus Slots.
- Fan guides on Task Cards, Link Chains, and Week Grid flow.
- Illustrated scenes of Focus Slots, Soft Deadlines, and Sprint Board reviews.
- FAQ covering goals, rules, controls, and common planning mistakes.
We are not the game’s developer. Materials here explain how a session works: place tasks, respect Link Chains, watch Focus Slots, and clear Soft Deadlines before the Sprint Board closes.
Read moreStart by reading how the Week Grid holds your Task Cards.
Each session gives you a fictional Orbit Desk project: place cards on open days, keep Link Chains intact, and leave Focus Slots for review work.
- Task Cards, Link Chains, and Soft Deadline markers
- Guides for Week Grid layout and Sprint Board checks
- Clear path from first placement to a finished stack
Then protect Link Chains before you spend Focus Slots.
A blocked card cannot finish until its parents clear. Our notes show when to reshuffle a day versus when to free a Focus Slot for review.
- Dependency arrows and blocked-card recovery
- Focus Slot allocation across design, review, and ship
- FAQ answers for controls and session goals

Guides
Core mechanics explained for Project Stack
Task Cards
Each card is a project step with effort cost, day fit, and optional Soft Deadline — the basic unit of every stack.
Link Chains
Dependency lines that block children until parents finish — the rule that forces careful order on the Week Grid.
Week Grid
The limited calendar board where cards land — overload a day and Soft Deadlines slip even if Link Chains look fine.
Focus Slots
Shared attention chips for design, review, and ship work — spend them wisely or midweek cards stall.
Soft Deadlines
Amber markers that warn before a Hard Deadline locks — move early rather than stacking three reviews on Friday.
Sprint Board
End-of-week review that scores cleared Link Chains and leftover Focus Slots — the session’s closing checklist.

FAQ
Goals, rules, and controls for Project Stack
Clear the Orbit Desk project by placing linked Task Cards on the Week Grid without breaking Link Chains, exhausting Focus Slots, or missing Soft Deadlines before the Sprint Board closes.
Finish parent cards before children. Focus Slots are separate attention chips — you can free a Link Chain and still stall if no Focus Slot remains for review or ship work.
