About Lamplighter

It’s 1807 and you are a lamplighter, responsible for keeping the street lights of London lit.

Lamplighter is a story-driven puzzle game, set amidst the magical early 1800s when gas street lamps began to turn night into day and provoke people's imaginations, hopes, and fears.

Key Features:
  • Unique puzzle mechanic involves creating regions of light and darkness on a grid, where same-colored regions cannot touch. Solve logic puzzles to keep the streets of London lit.
  • Interact with characters along your lamplighting route. As the wielder of a strange and new technology, you have the power to affect people's opinions.
  • Make choices that affect the story's outcome: Will London accept progress or will fear prevail? You'll decide through your dialogue choices and puzzle-solving skills.

Recommended Aug 11, 2025
Ultimately, it's a fairly simple little casual game. You solve a type of puzzle in which you have a grid and must figure out which tiles should be lit or dark. There's a small amount of story around it, but essentially the game exists to play rounds of the puzzle. At least one of the puzzles (third one, I think) comes up as complete even if you have a wrong tile. So the game isn't perfect. But it's an enjoyable little game to pull up when you have a few minutes, just to do one or two of the grids. Worth checking out if you enjoy puzzles like Minesweeper or Battleship, where you solve placements on a grid.
