Shenzhen Mahjong

About This Game

Shenzhen Mahjong, developed by Adgard, is a fresh and engaging take on the classic Mahjong puzzle genre, blending traditional tile-matching with a modern, adorable twist. Unlike traditional four-player Mahjong, this solo game challenges you to slide charming animal-themed tiles—think pandas, kittens, and other cute critters—up, down, left, or right to align and match identical pairs. Your goal is to clear all tiles from the board before time runs out, using logic and creativity to spot solutions that are sometimes hiding in plain sight. With dozens of levels, vibrant graphics, and a relaxing yet challenging vibe, Shenzhen Mahjong is perfect for puzzle enthusiasts, casual gamers, and anyone who loves a cozy brain teaser. Rated for ages 6 and up, it’s a family-friendly game that’s easy to pick up but hard to put down.

How to Play

Playing Shenzhen Mahjong is simple but requires strategic thinking to master. Here’s how it works:

• Select and Slide Tiles: Click or tap to choose a tile, then hold and drag it up, down, left, or right to an adjacent empty space. Align identical animal tiles (e.g., two pandas or two kittens) to remove them from the board.
• Clear the Board: Match all identical tile pairs to clear each level before the timer expires. Tiles must have at least one free side to move, similar to Mahjong Solitaire.
• Use Power-Ups: If stuck, use power-ups like shuffles or hints to rearrange tiles or highlight matches. Power-ups are earned through gameplay or available via ads in free versions.
• Plan Strategically: Focus on freeing up tiles by moving outer ones first, ensuring more tiles become playable. Some levels require creative moves to unlock hidden matches.
• Progress Through Levels: Complete each level to unlock the next, with increasing complexity and new tile arrangements to keep you challenged. There’s a timer for added challenge, but it’s forgiving, and unlimited retries let you experiment freely. The game’s cute animal tiles and clear instructions make it accessible for all ages.
