About the Game

Mills of Morris takes you on a puzzle adventure, where storytelling is just as relevant as progression. Explore the Meadow of Riddles and find out why Morris is so eager to become a human, throwing his frog life away.

Inspired By A Classic

Every puzzle you’re seeing relies on the core rules of the antique gem, Nine men’s morris. Originally, it is supposed to be a two-player board game, but Morris was tasked to create so-called “mills” of disks that share a color.

… the Wizard Won’t Stop There!

On top of the inspiration concept’s mechanics, you’ll find yourself facing a rich set of assets, creating challenging scenarios!

Step By Step

Morris - just like most of us - cannot solve the toughest puzzle with elements he hasn’t even seen yet. Levels are progressively designed with growing complexity, while leaving room for guided and freefall learning.

A Non-Linear Adventure

Morris, if he so likes, is allowed to free roam across the Meadow, the game’s Hub. Of course, if he doesn’t solve all the tasks, the wizard won’t grant his wish! However, he may follow an order of levels he prefers, or revisit some later.

A Visual Experience

Frogs can’t read, right? But frogs can interpret visuals. The world focuses on guiding your journey without much text, letting the world speak for itself.

You, the Creator

Step into the shoes of the Wizard and create your own levels using the Level Creator tool! Every single asset is available at your disposal - it’s time to get creative!

Share With Your Friends!

You may upload the levels you create, and let the entire world play them! The leaderboards display completions with the best times and the least amount of moves. Get to the top and show others what you’re capable of!
