## What is Akari?

Light the way through a moonlit village, one lantern at a time.

Akari is a calm logic puzzle about light. Place lanterns on the board until every open square glows, without letting any two lanterns shine on each other. The rules take a minute to learn; the puzzles will keep you thinking for much longer.

HOW TO PLAY
• Tap a square to place a lantern. Its light travels along the row and column until it reaches a wall.
• Light up every open square on the board.
• Lanterns must never shine on each other.
• A number on a wall shows exactly how many lanterns touch it.
• Long-press a square to mark an X where a lantern can't go.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 120 puzzles in a campaign that grows from small 4×4 boards to 10×10 challenges
• A new Daily Puzzle every day, from a gentle Monday to an expert Sunday
• Every puzzle has exactly one solution and can be solved by logic alone, no guessing
• Hints that explain the next step on your own board, without making the move for you
• Place Light adds one correct lantern when you just want to keep going
• Hint and Place Light are always free: no limits, no costs, no penalties
• X marks to keep track of your reasoning
• Optional timer, plus music, sound, vibration and reduce-motion settings
• Plays offline. No ads. No in-app purchases.

A QUIET PLACE TO THINK
Golden lanterns, moonlight on the water and drifting sakura petals set the mood. Finish a board and watch the village light up.

Akari is also known as “Light Up”, a classic grid logic puzzle. If you enjoy Sudoku, nonograms and other pen-and-paper puzzles, you'll feel right at home.
