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 behind each lantern to bring both into the moon’s reflection.

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.
