Lantern Letter Bureau

Your goal

Search eight original watercolor scenes for lost belongings and follow a neighborhood letter story. Earn up to 24 stars, use free hints and keep verified scene records. Complete a Story scene for one star. Earn two with at most five misses and two hints, or three with at most one miss, no hint and a finish within the scene’s par.

Start your first session

Find the objects named in the six-word list. Each discovery reveals the next requested object. A visible object that is not yet listed does not count. Drag to pan, pinch or use +/− to zoom, and use Overview to see the whole painting. A drag or pinch never finds an object. Arrow or WASD keys move a visible cursor. One fresh Space or Enter probes its position; holding or a second touch adds no extra probe. Direction buttons pan the scene.

A useful decision to practice

A free hint marks the first remaining listed object without finding it. Story has three hints, with ten active seconds between uses. Practice hints are unlimited. Each complete Story search has 1,800 base points, up to 900 time bonus, minus 40 per miss and 150 per hint, with a minimum of one point. Only verified per-scene bests improve the bureau total. Pause and Home open the map, letters and settings. Searches beyond one hour or ten thousand commands continue unranked without a saved continuation. Practice never changes progress.
