Random Mahjong is a relaxed, classic Solitaire Mahjong game for iPhone and iPad. It has been played by tile matchers for years, and it still does exactly what it set out to do — no timers, no pressure, no fuss. Photo-realistic 2D tiles that look sharp rather than stale. There's no fancy 3D here; you get a classic 2D board with smooth camera panning and focus, so you're always up close to the play. Controls stay a joy rather than a chore, on both iPhone and iPad. At its heart is a random generator, so a fresh, solvable board is waiting every time you play. Prefer something familiar? Fifty preset layouts are included. And the small 32-tile boards, paired with a solution walkthrough for every layout, make this a good place to learn the rules if you've never played the Solitaire or Shanghai variant of Mah-jongg before. FEATURES: - A unique board every time you play - 50 preset layouts when you want something familiar - Very simple to learn - Small 32-tile boards, ideal for beginners - Relaxing play with no time limits - Solution walkthrough available for every board - Level rewind for repeat attempts - Undo and shuffle - Auto-save and auto-continue - That "one more try" feeling Random Mahjong is now developed and supported by ElectroSoma Ltd. We will be keeping the game refreshed and maintained, as well as working on a sequel.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mahjong Solitaire Puzzle Games holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mahjong Solitaire Puzzle Games has 12K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Random Mahjong Pro's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mahjong Solitaire Puzzle Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Random Mahjong Pro ships an update monthly, Mahjong Solitaire Puzzle Games every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
