About Mahjong Quest
Clearing a Mahjong board isn't about recognising every tile at a glance—it's about building a mental map of which tiles are buried and how to free them. You track which identical pairs sit under a stack, which scissors are needed to release a trapped piece, and which season or flower tiles can match despite different art. The cognitive load comes from juggling these constraints while racing the clock, forcing you to prioritise moves that open new paths rather than just clearing easy pairs.
Sorting through a beautiful Mahjong board, matching identical tiles feels oddly satisfying. Only free tiles with an open side can be paired. Speed matters—clear fast for medals and power-ups. Season and flower tiles match even with different pictures. Scissors free stuck pieces. Just keep organizing until the board is clean.
How to Play Mahjong Quest
- Click on a tile to select it; it must be free on at least one side (left or right).
- Select a second identical tile to match and remove the pair from the board.
- Match season tiles (even if the picture differs) and flower tiles (also different art) as identical pairs.
- Click on scissors tiles to free any trapped tiles that are completely surrounded.
- Match reversed tiles—they turn around as you select them, revealing their true face.
- Clear the entire board or find all special tiles to complete the level.
Game Features
- Season and flower tiles pair even when their illustrations differ, reducing the number of unique matches you need to track.
- Scissors tiles act as a reset button, freeing any tile that is completely blocked on both sides.
- Reversed tiles add a memory challenge: they flip only when you select them, hiding their identity until the moment of matching.
- Rock tiles are inert obstacles that cannot be removed, forcing you to work around them.
- Speed-based medals reward fast clearing, which pressures your mental model of the board layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I match two identical tiles that are not free on either side?
No. Only tiles free on at least one side (left or right) can be selected and matched. Trapped tiles must be freed with scissors first.
Do season and flower tiles always match regardless of the picture?
Yes. Season tiles match any other season tile, even if the illustration is different. The same applies to flower tiles.
What happens when I use a scissors tile?
The scissors tile is consumed and removes a single trapped tile from the board, freeing its position for future matches.
How do reversed tiles work?
Reversed tiles appear face‑down. When you select one, it turns around to show its actual symbol; you must then match it with another tile of the same symbol.
