Tinker Lab: Merge Puzzle
Merge junk into inventions
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Drag, match, and merge your way from a pile of scrap to a town full of clever inventions. No ads, no timers, no sign-in - just cozy tinkering.
Tinker Lab is a cozy merge puzzle about rebuilding a steampunk village one clever invention at a time.
The town's workshops have fallen into disrepair, and the villagers need your help. On your workbench, drag two matching pieces together to merge them into something better: scrap becomes parts, parts become gadgets, and gadgets become the inventions each villager is waiting for. Finish a villager's request and watch their workshop come back to life.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Merge matching junk into 25 inventions across 5 themed workshops.
- Help five villagers - the Lamplighter, the Mayor, the Professor, the Baker, and the Postmaster - restore their corner of town.
- Fill out your Recipe Book and discover how every gadget is built.
- Play at your own pace. No timers, no energy meters, no pressure.

- No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts or sign-in.
