Tilt gently. Gather the drops in the centre.

MERCURY MAZE

A steady hand.
A slippery little blob.

Tilt the maze to bring all the mercury to the centre. It stretches, splits, and comes together again.

Every drop counts. Take your time.

On a computer: QWE / ASD / ZXC, arrow keys, or drag.

FIND YOUR BALANCE

Hold it like
a little tray.

Hold your phone at a comfortable angle and keep it still.

TAKE YOUR TIME

The mercury
can wait.

Your drops are right where you left them.

HOW TO PLAY

Follow the silver.

Guide every drop into the small well in the centre. All the mercury moves with the same tilt, so a gentle hand helps keep it together.

Sharp turns can split the blob. Bring droplets into contact to join them again. Drops that reach the centre stay safely in the well.

Hold and drag anywhere on the board. Release to level the tray. On a keyboard, use QWE / ASD / ZXC for eight directions; S levels the tray. Arrow keys and the number pad also work.
