About

the color LABORATORY

Features
Read full description

LABORATORY is a minimalist, premium puzzle game where you recreate a target color by mixing pigments in a petri dish. Each day brings a fresh challenge with five stages of rising difficulty — from simple two-pigment colors to complex five-pigment blends. How to play: • Pick a pigment from the palette — a drop falls into the dish and blends in. • You have up to 5 drops per stage. Undo is allowed but counts as a move. • When your color is close to the target, tap Check to measure accuracy. • After all five stages you get an average score, compare with today's players, and share your result. Key features: • A new daily challenge every day — same puzzles for everyone for fair comparison. • Realistic color mixing engine based on weighted pigment blending. • Five stages with rising difficulty. • Global ranking and head-to-head with today's players. • Share results as an image to WhatsApp, Messenger, email, or the native share sheet. • Clean, scientific lab aesthetic. • Subtle haptics and sound for a calming experience. • Free Play mode for unlimited practice. • Privacy-first — no tracking, no ads. LABORATORY is perfect for fans of visual puzzles, color games, and short daily challenges in the spirit of Wordle.
