About Drift: Lantern Gardens
Find a place for every lantern. Place lanterns around stones to meet each row and column count. Explore 600 catalog gardens, with room for different solutions that satisfy the clues. Build your own sanctuary as you complete different gardens. Choose lanterns, plants, ponds and moonstones for nine places, and rearrange them whenever you like. In Garden workshop, design a 4-6 square garden, solve its clues and keep it in a private collection of up to 24 designs. Share a plain garden code with someone you choose, or import theirs. No account or public feed is needed. Evening mode, optional sound and gentle-touch settings let you choose the atmosphere. Progress stays on your device, with no timers or daily streak penalties. One free hint is available each day. Optional rewarded ads and ten-hint packs provide extra help; no banners or interrupting ads are shown. Delivered hint credits are device-local and cannot be restored after deleting the app. Core play and the workshop do not require purchases.
What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated October 13, 2026
Drift 2.0 brings more gardens and a reason to come back each day: • 60 new gardens in two new chapters: Starfall (relaxed, with several ways to solve each) and Frostlight (one perfect answer each). • Daily garden: a new garden every day with a gentle glow streak (missed days are never counted against you) and an optional reminder. • Featured garden of the week: a larger 6×6 challenge each week. • Sanctuary: new decorations to find, earned from daily and weekly gardens, plus a Star lantern and room for up to 12 pieces on the terrace. • Game Center: a leaderboard and 6 achievements. • Share your workshop and weekly garden codes, and find our other games under More from Tom Makes Games. • Watching an optional advert for a hint is now a single tap. Drift is still free, calm and offline-friendly. Thanks for playing!
