Four little challenges. One satisfying daily ritual. LinkedLab brings four kinds of logic puzzle together, with daily challenges, endless practice and a look you can make your own. FIND YOUR FAVORITE CHALLENGE Clusters: Divide the grid into rectangles that match the number and shape clues. Drag to create a rectangle, then resize it in either direction. Synapse: Connect the numbered checkpoints in order with one continuous path through every cell. Trace corners, turn back and refine your route. Polarity: Balance suns and moons while following the clues between cells. Isolates: Place a queen in each colored region, with one per row and column and no touching queens. A LITTLE CHALLENGE EVERY DAY Work through Easy, Medium and Hard in each game. Return to saved daily progress on your device, build your streak and discover earned achievements. Finish all four games to celebrate your Day complete and unlock Queen Flight, an endless tap-to-fly bonus game. Dodge walls, suns, moons and weaving Synapse snakes in your chosen theme. Tap the completed daily summary to return for another run. Your best survival time stays on this device. Your personal best is your fastest combined Easy + Medium + Hard daily result for each game, kept across days. Compare results through Game Center when connected. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 12 visual themes: Version 3.2, Classic, Blue & amber, Vivid, Rose & teal, High contrast, Monochrome, Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Paper and Halloween. Keep the illustrated Version 3.2 menus, queens, cats and friends with character sound effects, or choose familiar Classic colors and simple crown symbols. Explore clear outlines, region patterns and color choices for different color-vision preferences. Simple menus offer static colors and icons without animated previews. A one-time welcome lets you preview games and menus as you choose. Change styles later with the paint button inside any game. Each style works with light and dark appearances, and changing style keeps your app and board appearance choices. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Choose a puzzle family for endless practice. Use Undo, Hint, Reset and illustrated rules as you learn. Built-in puzzles support offline play, with no developer account needed to solve them. Music starts off for new players. Turn it on when you like, choose from 11 soundtracks, and adjust music, effects and move sounds separately. Use Calmer effects, your device's larger text and Reduce Motion settings, or explore with VoiceOver. Optional daily reminders let you choose when to return. Browse personal records, achievements and streak rewards on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Game Center rankings require an internet connection and sign-in; local puzzle play does not. Pick a grid. Find your next spark.

Five daily logic puzzles in one quiet app. Light the board, build your streak. Lanterns is a daily logic puzzle in the spirit of the Queens family of games — with a warm twist. Every day, everyone gets the same hand-built board. Place a lantern in every row, every column, and every colored region, with one simple rule: no two lanterns may touch, not even diagonally. Too close, and their light washes out. The board starts dark and blank — it's pure deduction from the very first tap. Mark embers where a lantern can't go, and if you're ever stuck, ask for a hint: it reveals the next genuinely deducible move on your board. Never a guess. THE PROMISE: NO GUESSING Every daily puzzle in every game is verified to be solvable by logic alone — a unique solution you can always reason your way to, never guess at. A lot of puzzle games skip this. We don't. If it can't be solved by deduction, it never ships. FIVE DAILY GAMES • Lanterns — one lantern per row, per column, per colored region, and none may touch • Mini Sudoku — a calm 6×6: one of each per row, column and box, in three difficulties • Skyscrapers — a 6×6 skyline: match every view from the edge • Fireflies — a 6×6 meadow: light half the swarm, no three alike in a row • Fuse — a 6×6 burn: one unbroken line through every square, passing the charges in order Each game has its own daily board, its own streak, and its own stats. Jump between them from the games hub. A DAILY RITUAL • One fresh puzzle a day in every game, the same boards for everyone • A solve timer and a streak counter that rewards showing up • A spoiler-free, emoji-grid result you can share — compare times, not solutions • A dark board that illuminates as you solve, with regions that glow when satisfied COMPETE, QUIETLY • A global daily leaderboard for Lanterns — same board for everyone, one honest ranking of solve times • A best-streak leaderboard for every one of the five games, via Game Center • Entirely optional: no sign-in required, ever — leaderboards are there when you want them and invisible when you don't CALM BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No network — your puzzles are generated right on your device, and your streak and history never leave it. Just you, the board, and one good puzzle a day. HOW TO PLAY LANTERNS • Tap a cell to mark an ember ("no lantern here"); tap again to place a lantern; tap once more to clear • One lantern per row, per column, and per colored region • No two lanterns may touch, including diagonally • Light all the regions with no conflicts to win Take a breath. Light the dark.
