Lanterns: Light Up Puzzle

A little light. A big adventure.

Meet Pip, your lantern-moth companion, and bring a world back to life one puzzle at a time. Lanterns turns Akari, also known as Light Up, into a colorful logic-puzzle adventure.

LIGHT EVERY TILE
Place lanterns to illuminate the board. Numbered stones tell you how many lanterns belong beside them. Light stops at walls, and no two lanterns may shine on each other. Every puzzle has one solution, found through logic.

BRING THE FOREST TO LIFE
Each campaign clear moves your journey forward. Restore the Whispering Grove, discover Moonlit Lagoon, and follow the glow into new worlds. Watch paths, flowers and lanterns appear as you play.

TAKE YOUR TIME
Campaign puzzles have no timer. Use Notes to mark your ideas, Undo to try another approach, and explained hints when you need help understanding the next move. Wrong lantern placements cost a heart; Notes, removing lanterns and Undo are free.

ONE DAILY. ONE CHANCE.
Try the Daily challenge: one board, one attempt and 90 seconds. Return tomorrow for a fresh puzzle.

MAKE THE GLOW YOUR OWN
Earn embers through play and collect lantern styles for the boards you solve. Optional in-app purchases offer packs of embers and tickets, permanent cosmetics, and permanent removal of forced ads.

A SMALL ADVENTURE THAT FITS YOUR DAY
Start with a guided tutorial, solve a room on a break, and return to your saved campaign progress. No account setup is required.

Optional rewarded ads provide a hint or a relight when available. Between-level ads may appear. A one-time purchase removes forced ads; rewarded videos remain optional.

If you enjoy Sudoku, Nonogram, Picross, Hashi or other deduction puzzles, discover a new way to follow the light.
