Curio Shelf

Features
Read full description

Arrange each item. Read every clue. Bring the whole cabinet into harmony. Curio Shelf is a cozy spatial-logic puzzle set inside a quiet countryside garden shop. Place a collection of curious objects on a compact shelf, then rearrange them until every item's clue is satisfied. SOLVE 25 CAREFULLY CRAFTED CABINETS Each cabinet adds new items and new ways to think about space. Keep a seed jar beside the fern, separate things that should not touch, find the right row or corner, and work out which object belongs above, below, left, or right of another. EVERY MOVE IS AN EXPERIMENT Drag an item straight onto the shelf, or tap to select and place it. Invalid arrangements are allowed and clearly explained, so you can test an idea, move things around, undo for free, or restart whenever you like. There are no timers, lives, or penalties for taking your time. EARN THREE STAMPS Complete every cabinet, then refine your solution. Place each item efficiently to earn up to three stamps. If you want a nudge, an optional rewarded hint can reveal one correct item placement without finishing the whole puzzle for you. UNLOCK ENDLESS SHELF Finish all 25 cabinets to open an ever-changing mode filled with newly generated arrangements. Every Endless Shelf puzzle is checked for a valid solution before you play. A SMALL SHOP TO SETTLE INTO - Enjoy hand-painted garden-shop scenes, gentle motion, cozy sounds, and responsive haptics - Save your best stamps and settings on your device - Play the core game offline; an internet connection is used for ads - Adjust music, sound effects, haptics, and reduced motion - Play in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, or Simplified Chinese Curio Shelf is free and contains ads. Optional rewarded ads can reveal a hint. No account or sign-in is required. Every item has its place.
