The Landing Stage

Tap a verb, then a thing (or a thing, then a verb).

How to play

  1. You row ashore on Lantern Rock at dusk. The lighthouse is dark, the keeper is gone, and a ship's lights are creeping toward the reef. Find what the lamp needs, put it together, and light it. Along the way, return lost treasures to the shelf in the lamp room for extra points.
  2. Type short commands, then press Enter: look, go north (or just n), take lantern, open door, unlock chest with 123, put lens in frame, fill lantern with oil. The abbreviations n ne e se s sw w nw u d in out, l (look), x (examine), i (inventory), z (wait), and g (again) all work. take all and drop all work too, and it means the last thing you named.
  3. Other words worth knowing: read, push, pull, turn, wind, climb, listen, light, extinguish, score, hint (a gentle nudge for where you are), and help. Use the up and down arrows in the input to recall earlier commands.
  4. On a phone or tablet, use the compass buttons to move. Tap a verb and then a thing to run the command, or tap a thing and then a verb. Look, Inventory, and Wait run at once.
  5. save and restore keep your place on this device (save night1 and restore night1 name a slot), undo takes back your last move, and restart begins again. Mind the oil in the lantern, and mind the tide.
