Mahjong Stack Quest Mahjong Stack Quest is a fast-paced mahjong puzzle that blends classic hand recognition with precise aiming action. Fourteen tiles drift downward from the top of the screen. Some are wrong on purpose. Spot the mistakes, pick replacements from the candidate tray, aim at the correct column, and fire before the row hits the deadline. Choose Easy, Hard, or Devil to match your skill. Just focus, sharp eyes, and satisfying shots. Spot. Fire. Complete the Hand. Open Mahjong Stack Quest and finish the hand before time runs out.

A discharge starts at the socket with zero charge. Every step, it looks for the nearest unburned conductor inside its reach and leaps there — and then that coin burns away, so the next step is measured on a board that just changed. You never draw the route. You place coins, change the geometry, and the route works itself out. Your job is to arrange the tray so the arc lights every fruit coin, builds the charge the vault asks for, and finally leaps into the vault capacitor. • 100 hand-shaped levels across five substations, each with its own twist to the machine — generous reach and nothing else in Copper Yard, compulsory fruit and charge quotas in Fruit Line, short reach and superconductors in Storm Deck, queue-jumping lightning rods and paired twin coins in Rod Field, and a cruel 6×6 plate with a one-coin tray in The Vault • Every level is verified by a built-in solver before it is handed to you, so an unsolvable puzzle cannot exist — and Par, the second star, is the smallest winning arrangement that solver could find • Ties between equally distant conductors always break clockwise from North, so the same arrangement produces the same arc on every device, every time • A kit of four tools on every plate, refilled for every level and never sold: Probe traces the first leaps, Dry Run walks the whole route as a ghost without burning anything, Spare Coin adds a coin at the cost of the third star, Snuffer lifts a bolted coin off the board • No shop, no currency to hoard, no daily chores — just the puzzles, in order, whenever you feel like them • Coin and arc finishes unlocked with stars alone — never money, never chance • No lives, no failure state: if the arc gutters out, everything snaps back and you simply try again • Ten badges, a full log book, colourblind marks and a slow-arc mode for reading a route step by step • Completely offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection The Surge bar at the top is a bonus and never a threat — beat it for extra sparks, miss it and the bar just goes dark while you keep thinking. This is a game about working it out, not about hurrying. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
