## What is Wake the Garden?

Some gardens are still asleep.

Luma is a small light who lives at the edge of the garden. Turn the stone paths so her glow can travel, around corners, past frozen stones, through thorns, until every flower wakes up.

Wake the Garden is a gentle puzzle game for curious minds. Most gardens have no timer, there is nothing to lose, and you cannot get stuck. Just a quiet place to think.

500 gardens, growing slowly from four stones to thirty, across twenty chapters with names like Moonlit Meadow, Whispering Grove and Heart of Luma.

Puzzles that teach themselves. Thorns, ice, ancient locked stones and sealed stones each arrive one at a time, with a garden to practise on.

A weekly league. One garden a week is the same puzzle for everybody, and hints are switched off there, so it comes down to the solving alone. There is a second board for how far you have got. Players appear under a nickname the game picks, never one they type.

Play your way. Tap the stones or use a keyboard. Turn the motion off. Turn the sound off, or set it quieter. Everything is where you left it.

Nothing to sign up for. No account, no chat, no tracking, and no way for anyone to contact your child.

Free, and staying that way. No paywall, no waiting timers, no garden locked behind a purchase, and nothing at all to buy. One small advert sits below the garden, never during play, and a grown-up can switch it off in Settings without losing a thing.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-23

Taps now always turn the stone under your finger. The music now plays on iPhone, and comes back after you leave the game and return. Landscape uses the whole screen, with the board at full height and everything else beside it. Also fixes the Settings screen, stops the board responding while a menu is open, and makes hints work properly again; league gardens explain why hints are off. Adds Game Center leaderboards, and sound is on by default.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-04

Your gardens can travel now. Ask for a code in Settings, keep it somewhere safe, and you can bring your progress to a new phone or back after reinstalling.

The bells sound softer and clearer as the light reaches each flower.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-02
