Press Release – English – “The Answer Is 42” – Xbox Release
São Paulo, March 13th, 2025
Mens Sana Interactive is excited to announce that The Answer Is 42 will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows Store on March 21, 2025. This minimalist logic puzzle game, previously released on Steam and Nintendo Switch, invites players to relax, think, and uncover the meaning of everything—through the power of numbers.
In The Answer Is 42, players connect numbered pieces on a board to form sums of 42, filling the grid without overlapping paths. The game’s calming outer space aesthetic and original soundtrack create a meditative experience, where logic and math skills are put to the test without time pressure. With 100 levels of increasing complexity, some solutions even naturally form hidden images with the paths drawn on the board.
The title pays homage to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, where a supercomputer determines that the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything is simply… 42.
This marks Mens Sana Interactive’s fifth Xbox release, reinforcing the studio’s commitment to delivering cozy yet challenging experiences across platforms.
"Expanding our games to Xbox and Windows Store is an important step for us," says Sérgio Ueta, CEO at Mens Sana Interactive. "We’ve learned a lot from our previous Xbox releases, and we’re excited to bring this thoughtful, relaxing puzzle experience to even more players."
