Why Tiny Lantern

Made to fit around your day

Play in short sessions

A few minutes is plenty. Tap in, tend your world, get on with your day.

Progress while you’re away

Your studio keeps shipping and your drones keep diving while the app is closed.

No pay-to-win

Spending money never buys you an edge. Patience and curiosity do.

About

A tiny studio with a lantern

Tiny Lantern is a small independent studio making warm, curious games for phones. We like worlds that keep glowing while you’re away, and games you can pick up for five minutes and put down without guilt.
