## What is Messy Mahjong?

Messy Mahjong is American mah jongg without the walls. All 152 tiles are tossed face down onto the mat, you pick your own, and you draw by tapping any face-down tile. Learn the game, practice against computer players, or pull up a chair with friends.

Never played? Seven short lessons take you from the tiles to the Charleston, and a coach walks you through a practice game, pointing out your closest hands as you go. Know the game? Jump straight in against Easy, Medium or Hard computer players, or start an online table and send the code to friends.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Learn: seven short lessons on the tiles, reading the card, the Charleston and the messy table
- Play the computer at three levels, from relaxed to sharp, even in airplane mode
- Find a game online, or start a table and share a six-character code. Empty seats are filled with computer players
- Play in the same room with no internet: one phone hosts, friends join over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- Add friends, see who is online and invite them to your table (sign in with Apple to use friends)
- Chat with your table, with a chat filter and the option to mute or report any player
- Keep playing if you drop out: a computer holds your seat until you rejoin

A TABLE THAT FEELS LIKE A TABLE

- Pick your starting tiles from the pile, then draw by tapping any face-down tile
- The full game: Charleston, calls, joker swaps, courtesy pass and Mah Jongg
- Two original cards, Messy Mahjong 2026 and the harder Messy Challenge, with every hand shown in plain notation
- Star up to four hands to track: your tiles light up in each hand's color and show how many tiles away you are
- Clear call prompts that show what a call does to your closest hands before you commit
- Drag tiles anywhere on your rack, sort them, and see every discard and exposed group up close
- Play in portrait or landscape

MAKE IT YOURS

- 24 tile sets and 29 mats, each drawn as original artwork: butter and golf, Greek vases and woodblock waves, neon arcade, hockey rinks and deco gold
- A style wheel at the start of each hand picks the mat and tile set from everyone's favorites
- 16 racks that only you see, and avatars free for everyone
- Earn XP, level up and finish challenges to unlock tile sets and mats; some styles are also available to buy, and nothing about the rules is for sale
- Friends and Global leaderboards for your table points and time played

BUILT TO BE EASY ON THE EYES AND HANDS

- Large-print tiles with a big number or letter in every corner
- A color-blind friendly palette, with numbers on starred tiles
- Haptics, sounds, call timers and computer pace you can change
- Optional confirmation before you expose tiles
