About this game

Spell words with glowing paper lanterns, and light up a whole sleeping river town.

On a warm festival night, letters drift on a wooden raft down a quiet river. Swipe across neighbouring lanterns to spell a word. Each correct word lifts its lanterns into the sky as floating lights. A giant paper dragon gathers that light and flies over the rooftops, and the town wakes up: windows glow, fireworks bloom and tiny villagers come out to dance.

HOW TO PLAY
• Swipe through neighbouring lanterns to spell a word
• Every letter plays a soft chime, so each word is a small melody
• Find all target words to wake the town and finish the night
• Spell extra words for bonus coins, streaks and keys

SPECIAL LANTERNS
