About Larkmoor: Merge Garden Mystery
Larkmoor: Merge Garden Mystery drops you into an English country estate that has been locked and forgotten since 1958. The day the gates were chained, a prize rose vanished and the head gardener took the blame. Decades of brambles, rocks, and stumps have swallowed the grounds, and it falls to you to clear them, restore the buildings, and piece together what really happened before the summer fete arrives.
The mystery unfolds across twelve chapters, with 19 clues gathered into June's case file and one central question driving every merge and harvest: why was Larkmoor sealed? Scraps of letters, old keys, and locked trunks surface beneath the overgrowth as you work, turning garden restoration into a slow-burn investigation set in a cozy, overgrown estate.
How to Play Larkmoor: Merge Garden Mystery
The core loop is merging: bring three identical items together to produce the next tier, or combine five at once for a bonus. Seedlings become plants, hens become larger animals, planks become sturdier wood — every resource chain feeds into the estate's restoration.
Drop new items onto the board from the supply crate whenever you need fresh material. Once a plant or animal has grown, harvest it with a tap. Obstacles like brambles, rocks, and stumps require two taps to dispatch; a worker heads out to clear them, and the job costs tea. Repairing the shed, the kitchen garden, the rose garden, and the greenhouse means dragging the right material — wood, stone, or glass — directly onto the building. Villagers place orders, and handing one over is as simple as tapping the villager or the Deliver button on the order card.
