Thousand Cranes

Each tile holds a folded paper crane facing one way. Tap a crane and it flies off the board, if nothing is in its path. Clear the board to release them all.

It starts as a calm reading puzzle, then the twists arrive: gold pinwheel cranes turn whenever a neighbour takes off, stones never move, ribbon-tied twins must fly together, and teal cranes turn the other way. Pick your order carefully: a careless release can trap the cranes still waiting.

Every thousand cranes you release grants a wish and a new night sky. 148 levels across five chapters on a gently rising difficulty curve with breathers along the way, plus a daily puzzle that everyone plays on the same day. Undo is always free; stuck? Hints point the way.

Controls: tap or click a crane to release it. Undo, Hint and Restart are on screen. Your progress is saved in your browser.
