Mahjong,
a board to share.
Some evenings you just want something calm to do with someone you love. Open a board on FaceTime and clear it together, pair by pair, talking about nothing in particular. Or race on the same layout, up to four of you. And on your own, it's the quiet, unhurried game it has always been.

Clear it together, or race.
Mahjong is a quiet game, and it's lovely with someone beside you, even when they're miles away. Find the pairs together on one board. Or race on the same layout and see who clears it first.
One tap, and they're in
Start a board from FaceTime or Messages. Your friend taps once and sits down. No accounts. No codes. No setup. Hosting is free, and joining is free.
Together, or a race
Clear one board together, up to four of you, with a single shared undo. Or race on the same layout, each on your own board.
See how the race is going
Racing, you see how many pairs each friend has found, and who finished first. Never their moves.
Only the people you know
No strangers. No chat rooms. No public tables. Your game travels through Apple, never through us. We never see it, and we like it that way.
A board you can actually read
Big tiles. Clear layers. A quiet finish. And no timer, unless you ask for one.
How Mahjong plays
The single-player tile-matching game, not the four-player game that shares its name. With friends, you share the board or race.
Find a pair
Match two identical tiles, and they leave the board.
Only free tiles
A tile is free when nothing sits on top of it and its left or right side is open.
Clear the board
Remove every pair to win. Plan ahead, because the layers hide what's underneath.

Five things we'll never compromise
Every game we make has to pass the same five tests. Here's how Mahjong passes them.
Easy on the eyes
Large, clear tiles you can actually read. The tiles you can play are easy to spot, if you like. A free hint every board shows a pair, and undo is unlimited.
Clean and calm
No timer, unless you want one. No lives, no energy, no levels to unlock. Every layout, free to pick, and nothing flashing at you.
Private. Completely.
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. On your own, it works offline and nothing leaves your device. With friends, your game travels through Apple, never through us.
Beautiful
Crisp tiles with clear faces, on a deep blue table. Every detail made by hand, because the people you play with deserve it.
Fun, and fair
Every board can be cleared, because we build it backwards from the finish. Stuck? Shuffle the tiles that are left, free, as often as you like. And a new daily board every day, the same for everyone, so you can race a friend on it.
Mahjong for every pair of eyes
Tile games can be hard on tired eyes. Ours is designed to feel comfortable from the very first tile.
VoiceOver throughout
Every tile is announced, along with which tiles are free to play.
Voice and Switch Control
Standard accessibility actions, including a list of the pairs you can match.
Tile sizes that fit
Choose larger tiles, with full Dynamic Type everywhere else.
High contrast
Crisp tile faces, and a high-contrast option. Never color alone.
Free tiles highlighted
If you like, dim the tiles you can't play yet, and the board becomes easier to read.
Reduce Motion
With Reduce Motion on, tiles fade gently away instead of flying.
Free to play. Free to play together.
The whole game is free, and so is every game with friends, hosting and joining. Pro is one optional purchase for players who want more. Nothing to renew. Nothing to remove.

Good to know
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Share one board over SharePlay in FaceTime or Messages, or through Game Center, up to four of you. Clear it together, or race on the same layout and see who finishes first. Always free, with no accounts and no servers of ours.
Does my friend need Pro?
No. Your friend needs Mahjong, which is free, and one tap. Never Pro, never an account, never a sign-in.
Where can I get Mahjong?
On the App Store, for iPhone and iPad.
Does it cost anything?
Not to play. Mahjong is free to download, and the whole game is free to play, on your own or with friends. Pro is an optional one-time purchase. There will never be ads or a subscription.
Can every board be cleared?
Yes. Every board is built backwards from a finished one, so there's always a way through. The free shuffle keeps it that way.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
Never an account. Playing on your own works fully offline, and your games and stats stay on your device. Playing with friends far away needs a connection, and that's all it needs.
Will it come to Android?
Yes, that's the plan. The whole collection comes to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
Is this the four-player game?
No. This is Mahjong solitaire, the tile-matching game. With friends, you share one board or race, rather than playing the four-player game.
