Amblestead Play
A cozy hex puzzle on the move

Rebuild a town on a walking turtle

Amabel is as big as a hill, and she has slept for a hundred years. Now she’s awake and walking to the shore where she hatched, with a crumbling little town on her shell. Help Pim the pangolin carpenter fix it up on the way.

Amabel, a giant green turtle with a little town on her shell, walking through a lilac valley under the Amblestead logo

Puzzles on the plates of her shell

Swap pieces in six directions on a board of hexagon plates, and every level builds a real part of the town.

A hexagon board of clay tiles, reed bundles, wool skeins and copper cogs next to a blueprint of bridge posts

Six ways to swap

Line up clay tiles, reed bundles, wool skeins, copper cogs and glass panes along three directions. Light up the compass above the board to earn special pieces.

Materials flying from the board into a new bridge on Amabel’s shell while Delva the mole cheers

Every level builds something

The goal is a blueprint. Bring the materials and watch them fly into place: a workshop roof, a lookout, a plank bridge across the shell.

The town on Amabel’s shell with a lookout tower, a bridge and Pim’s workshop, and the next lot glowing

A lookout tower or a weathervane mast? A town bell or a snail-mail post? Pick what each lot becomes, then its finish. No coins, no task lists.
