Amazon · Mamirauá, Brazil

Mamirauá, near Tefé: flooded forest on the whitewater Solimões. Each year the river climbs some ten metres into the trees; milky, silt-brown water covers the buttresses, and giant lilies grow in the still water between them.

How to play

Rainpost is a free daily puzzle. Every day everyone gets the same rainy place, built as a small 3D miniature. Press and hold the water to drop rain; hold longer and the ripple goes farther. Ripples push something home, and you have five drops. Solve it to collect the place’s keepsake stamp for your Rainpost Passport, much like a national park passport stamp.

In this place: Drop beside the marked lily pad to rock it until the rain spills out.

Rainfall and seasons are approximate and describe the place’s usual rainy season, not today’s weather.

Today’s place and its keepsake stamp are free. Any other place opens as practice.
