About the game

The lantern festival is tonight, and every string of paper lanterns is a jumble of colours. Can you sort them?

Tap a string to lift its top lanterns, then tap another string to hang them there. A lantern can only go on an empty string or on one of the same colour. Fill a string with four of a kind and it lights up in a burst of sparkles.

What's inside

  • 200 puzzles, from three gentle colours to twelve-colour festival boards. Every level is solved by computer, so there is always a way, and the move target is the true minimum
  • A new Daily Challenge every day, with streak rewards: free hints, Golden lanterns at a 7-day streak and a rare Festival theme at 30 days
  • Hints that show the next move, undo and restart, and a bonus string when you're stuck
  • Three stars for finishing in the fewest moves
  • Colour-blind friendly: every colour also has its own symbol
  • Dusk and Daybreak skies (or switch automatically), floating sky lanterns and falling petals
  • No timers, short levels, plays offline; no account or sign-in needed

How to play

  1. Tap a string to lift the lanterns on top.
  2. Tap another string to hang them: on an empty string or on the same colour.
  3. Light every string with four matching lanterns to win.
