How it plays
Drag, drop and clear the lines.
- 01
Drag three pieces
Place each piece on the 8×8 board. Pieces do not rotate, so where you put them is the whole puzzle.
- 02
Clear rows and columns
A full row or column clears. Clear several at once, and keep clearing, for a bigger score.
- 03
Light the diyas
A diya tile bursts when its line clears and takes the tiles around it. The game ends when nothing fits.

What makes it desi
Just you, the board and a cup of chai.
- Meenakari tiles
- Seven enamel colours, each with its own motif, from lotus to peacock feather.
- The tiffin
- Stuck with an awkward piece? Tuck it into your tiffin and use it later.
- A fair dealer
- The game never hands you three pieces that cannot be placed.
- Tabla, sitar and santoor
- Music for every move, and a spoken “Wah!” or “Shabash!” when you play well.
- Your game is saved
- Close the app and pick up exactly where you left off. It plays offline.
- No timers
- Play at your own pace. A gentle daily reminder is there if you want it, and easy to turn off.
