The rules
Three sentences, whole nights
If you enjoy sudoku or Star Battle grids, you will feel right at home.
One firefly per row, per column and per meadow
Each colored meadow hides one, and only one.
Two fireflies never touch
Not even diagonally.
A single solution, found by deduction
Every grid is solved by logic alone. You never guess.
Five meadows, five fireflies: one per row, per column and per meadow, and none touching another.
The game
More than a string of grids
Endless grids, from 5×5 to 9×9, that grow with you. And a night that opens up little by little, as you progress.
Stuck? The lantern explains the next step
It shows the next deduction and explains it in one sentence. No solution handed over: just enough to get going again.
Your notebook keeps every technique you discover, shown on a real grid.
Every grid makes your light grow
Every firefly you wake brings a little light. Night after night, it raises your level and gives you pollen to spend at The Cabin.
Sixteen tools and ways to play, from the dew that spots your mistakes to the deep nights.
Rare fireflies to meet
Sometimes, deep in a grid, a rare firefly shows up. Tame it, keep it in your jar and watch it grow: it will keep you company.
Your way of playing decides which ones you will meet.
Every night, your way
Play the way you like
Before each night, pick the grid size, the sky, or a calm night. And later on, the night takes you elsewhere.
The sky
A clear night to unwind, a deep night to really think.
The dew
It spots where your flowers contradict each other, without giving the solution away.
Twins
For seasoned players: 9×9 grids with two fireflies per row, per column and per meadow.
Ponds
Water cells, where nothing hides. The grid changes shape.
Mist
Veiled cells. Each firefly you wake lights up its meadow.
