About Little Alchemy

Little Alchemy starts with four elements — water, fire, earth and air — and asks what you can make by combining them. Water plus fire gives steam; earth plus fire gives lava; and from there the tree branches out to 560 items including humans, cities, time and the internet.

There are no levels, no timer and no failure. It's a discovery game, and its pleasure is the moment a combination you guessed on a hunch turns out to be right. Jakub Koziol's original launched in 2010 and has been endlessly imitated since.

Little Alchemy tips

  • Combine every new item with the four base elements first — that's the widest net.
  • Think about what things are physically made of; the logic is usually literal.
  • Doubling an element often works: earth plus earth gives land.
  • When stuck, combine your two most recent discoveries with each other.
