Gaardoon

Slide a little. Reveal a little wonder.

A row of scattered tiles. A gentle slide. Suddenly, a picture starts to appear.

Gaardoon is a cozy sliding puzzle game beneath a painted night sky. Move whole rows and columns, wrap them around the edges, and bring each little scene back together. A candlelit masquerade. Autumn leaves and jack-o'-lanterns. A lamp glowing in a palace arch.

Roshanak is here to welcome you. Follow her through the first puzzles, learn a little magic, and find your own rhythm.

A night full of little discoveries

• 65 puzzles across four chapters. Start with playful shapes, wander through The Longest Night and The Bright Ones, then restore The Tile Palace.
• Pictures worth putting together. Each scene has its own colors, shapes, and small details to discover.
• Hidden keystones to collect. Earn enough stars and watch a symbol rise from the board as a carved gem.
• One more try, one fewer move. Chase three stars, undo a move, and replay your solution step by step.
• A little help when you need it. The Magic Wand can show the next few moves; a wand-assisted finish earns no stars.
• Made for a moment to yourself. Atmospheric music, tactile sound, and a warm guide beneath the stars.
• Play your way. Mouse, touch, or keyboard, with 19 interface languages.

Simple to start

Mouse or touch: drag a tile horizontally or vertically to slide its whole row or column. Tiles that leave one edge come back on the other.

Keyboard: use W A S D to move the selector and the arrow keys to slide. Mouse wheel: scroll over a column; hold Shift to slide a row.

Click Run game above. Fullscreen is lovely here. You can also play at gaardoon.com.
