It will be a ‘phrase guessing game where every puzzle is a mash-up of two phrases,’ the company confirmed in a statement. ‘Similar to how The Times treats its other games when they’re in beta, we’re hoping to learn how players engage with Zorse and look forward to hearing their feedback.’ For now, the game will only be available to players in Canada, the company added.
