Get help with Kettlesong, the tea-tasting puzzle.
Kettlesong is an iOS and Android puzzle: read a recipe card, then turn the dials for leaf, dose, heat, steep time, water, vessel and add-ins until your cup matches it. It has 120 cups in twelve tea regions, a Daily Pot with a streak, an Endless Tea House, a Free Brew notebook, a Tea Library of 21 leaves and a shop of decor you buy with coins you earn by playing, is free to play with ads, has no accounts, and works offline. Questions? Write to bpupadhyaya@equalinformation.com.
Yes. Kettlesong is free to play, with ads served by Google AdMob: a banner on the home screen and below the tea scene, and a full-screen ad after some completed cups. You can earn ad-free play each month by watching short videos, or go ad-free every month with an optional monthly subscription.
Read the recipe card, then set the dials: leaf, dose, heat and steep time (later water, vessel, method and add-ins). The bars show what your cup tastes like; match every target range on the card and press Pour. Later regions add blends, fog (you must taste to find out), multi-cup orders and master duels. If you are stuck, the hint bulb nudges you toward the card; fewer taps earn more stars. There are no timers and no lives.
Open Ad-free from the menu and watch short rewarded videos. A progress bar shows how many videos you have watched this month and the date it resets. Reaching the goal turns ads off until that date. Watching is always your choice.
Ad-free Monthly is US$2.99 per month (local price shown in the store). It renews automatically every month until you cancel, and it removes ads for as long as it is active.
