Flipstead

Merge tools, paint and furniture into better ones, deliver your neighbours' orders and renovate five homes room by room — from a dusty studio to a house with a garden. Every job shows up in the drawing of the room.

Ola has inherited her aunt's studio flat, where nobody has cleaned for years: boxes, bin bags, peeling plaster and a window held together with tape. Help her renovate it and sell it at a profit, then take on the next homes — a tower block flat, a 1910 townhouse, a loft in an old mill and a house outside town with a wild garden.

On the board you drag an item onto an identical one and the two merge into a better one: a nail into a screw, a screw into a wrench, a wrench into a hammer, all the way up to a cordless drill and a circular saw. Eight chains — tools, paint, wood, plants, lamps, textiles, kitchen and bathroom — make 68 items in total. New ones come from generators: a toolbox, a DIY store bag, a wicker basket, a moving box and a bathroom cabinet.

Neighbours and clients place orders. Each one earns you stars and coins, and you spend the stars on the renovation: clearing out the junk, painting the walls, laying the floor, fitting the window and the furniture. Every job changes the drawing of the room straight away, and a finished home goes up for sale with its value before and after.

The game runs in the browser on phones and computers, with nothing to install. On a computer the board and the renovation sit side by side; on a phone you switch between them with tabs. Your progress is saved in the browser, and energy refills even while the game is closed.

How to play

  • Drag an item onto an identical one — they merge into a higher-level item. Dragging onto an empty square moves it, onto another item swaps them.
  • Tap a generator (for example the toolbox) and a new item appears next to it for 1 energy. Unpack a boxed item by dropping the same item on it.
  • When you have every item for an order, tap “Deliver”. Stars pay for the next job in the “Renovate” tab. Sell an item you don't need for coins with the button under the board.
