Illuminate

About Illuminate

Illuminate is a strategy puzzle game where you light up every room using a limited number of lamps and reflectors. Instead of quick reflexes, the game asks for careful thinking: each piece you place affects how light travels through the space. Your task is to work out the right combination and placement so that no area is left dark, using only the pieces you're given.

How to play Illuminate

You are given a limited amount of lamps and reflectors for each room. Place them so that light reaches every part of the room, using reflectors to redirect beams into corners or spaces a lamp alone can't reach. Since your supply of lamps and reflectors is limited, you need to plan placement carefully rather than placing pieces at random. The game runs in your browser, so you can play it directly without downloading anything.

Tips for playing Illuminate

  • Before placing anything, look at the whole room and spot the corners or narrow spaces that will be hardest to light.
  • Use reflectors to bend light into areas a lamp facing one direction can't reach on its own.
  • Since lamps and reflectors are limited, plan the placement of all of them together instead of one at a time.
