Pour. Swirl. Sort. Pour Lab turns the liquid-sort puzzle into something you can almost feel: tip a tube and watch the liquid stay level, stream across, and splash into place. Pour each color onto its match and sort the lab until every tube holds a single, perfect color. Easy to learn, deeply satisfying, and genuinely calming. 614 LEVELS ACROSS 30 WORLDS Every level is guaranteed solvable. Each world ends in a Boss Brew, and easier "breather" levels keep the flow relaxing. Just when you've mastered the basics, eight twists change everything: • Funnel tubes: pour in, but never out • Color Corks: sealed until you finish the color on the cork • Fog: colors stay hidden until you uncover them • Tube sizes: short and tall tubes that break your habits • Locked tubes: they open as you finish colors • Density layers: heavier liquids sink, lighter ones float • Limited pours: solve within a move budget • Timed levels: beat the clock PLAY EVERY DAY • 3 Daily Brews every day: Easy, Medium and Hard • Keep your streak alive with Streak Freezes, and catch up on missed days • Daily quests, a 7-day reward calendar and a free gift every few hours • Lab Rush: an endless run of boards for the leaderboard COLLECT AND GROW • Climb 50 Lab Ranks, from Intern to Grand Alchemist • Open chests and collect 60 unique potions for your shelf • Earn stars on every level and fill the Lab Jar with coins • Game Center leaderboards and 29 achievements MAKE THE LAB YOURS Unlock glassware, animated backdrops, liquid styles like Neon, Glitter, Lava and Galaxy, and sparkling pour trails. PLAY YOUR WAY • Hints, Undo and Extra Tube boosters when a board gets tricky • Drag or tap to pour, double-tap to auto-pour, and an optional fast pour • Color-blind mode with clear symbols on every liquid • Haptics, a relaxing original soundtrack and a calm-motion option • Play offline, anywhere Pour Lab is free to play with optional in-app purchases (Remove Ads, coin packs, boosters and a Starter Pack).
