What’s New Version 1.2
• NEW GAME: Skyscrapers — a visibility-clue Latin-square puzzle. Place buildings so the skyline clues on every edge line up.
• Hints got smarter: a hint now only reveals what you haven't ruled out yourself — you place the final obvious move.
• A unified solved screen and Share button across all three games, with your completed rows, columns, and regions highlighted.
• Haptic feedback throughout.
• Fixed: the reset timer now restarts properly, hint tells you when there's nothing new to reveal, and cell borders render cleanly on iPad.
Description
One quiet logic puzzle a day. Light the board, build your streak.
Lanterns is a daily logic puzzle in the spirit of the Queens family of games — with a warm twist. Every day, everyone gets the same hand-built board. Place a lantern in every row, every column, and every colored region, with one simple rule: no two lanterns may touch, not even diagonally. Too close, and their light washes out.
The board starts dark and blank — it's pure deduction from the very first tap. Mark embers where a lantern can't go, and if you're ever stuck, ask for a hint: it reveals the next genuinely deducible move on your board. Never a guess.
THE PROMISE: NO GUESSING
Every daily puzzle is verified to be solvable by logic alone — a unique solution you can always reason your way to, never guess at. A lot of puzzle games skip this. We don't. If it can't be solved by deduction, it never ships.
THREE DAILY GAMES
Lanterns, Mini Sudoku (6×6, three difficulty levels), and Skyscrapers (a visibility-clue Latin-square puzzle) — each with its own daily puzzle, streak, and stats. Jump between them from the games hub.
A DAILY RITUAL
• One fresh puzzle every day, the same board for everyone
• A solve timer and a streak counter that rewards showing up
• A spoiler-free, emoji-grid result you can share — compare times, not solutions
• A dark board that illuminates as you solve, with regions that glow when satisfied
CALM BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No network — your puzzles are generated right on your device, and your streak and history never leave it. Just you, the board, and one good puzzle a day.
HOW TO PLAY
• Tap a cell to mark an ember ("no lantern here"); tap again to place a lantern; tap once more to clear
• One lantern per row, per column, and per colored region
• No two lanterns may touch, including diagonally
• Light all the regions with no conflicts to win
Take a breath. Light the dark.
