A bookcase that thinks back
Packed shelves, real choices
You can only pull a book from the end of a shelf, beside a gap, or beside a book already home. The book cart holds just a few, so the order of your pulls matters.
A picture in every case
The back panel shows the picture faintly; every book that goes home paints in a little more. When the last one lands, the reading lamp switches on.
Six rooms, 72 bookcases
From the Reading Nook to the Observatory. Later rooms add dividers and thick books; finishing eight bookcases opens the next room.
Your own pace
No timers, lives or energy. A library date-due slip counts your moves, and finishing within par earns an “On time” stamp.
How to play
- Tap a book you can reach. Books at a shelf end, beside a gap or beside a book already home tip forward to show they can move.
- Tap where it goes. The free spots of its colour light up, and the cart while it has room; books on the cart wait until you send them to a spot.
- Fill every spot. The spines complete the picture and the lamp lights the finished case.
Stuck? A Bookmark takes back a move, a Step Stool reaches any one book, and an Extra Cart adds two cart spaces. You earn tools as you finish bookcases.
Fair play
