Get help with Thimblewick, the sewing-puzzle game.
Thimblewick is an iOS and Android sewing-puzzle game: slide the needle from eyelet to eyelet and stitch every dotted seam exactly once, in one unbroken thread, for up to three stars. It has 100 patterns in ten twist worlds, a Daily cloth with a streak, an endless Long Thread run, a Button Box of 30 free buttons you buy with spools earned by playing, is free to play with ads, has no accounts, and works offline. Questions? Write to bpupadhyaya@equalinformation.com.
Yes. Thimblewick is free to play, with ads served by Google AdMob: a banner on the menu screen and below the play field, and a full-screen ad after some finished patterns. You can earn ad-free play each month by watching short videos, or go ad-free every month with an optional monthly subscription.
Drag the needle along the dotted guides, or tap the next eyelet. Every dotted seam has to be sewn exactly once without lifting the thread. Later worlds add twists: Bias Bay allows diagonal seams that never cross, Backstitch Lane has double seams that need two passes, Selvage Street has one-way arrows, Eyelet Court has brass grommets you can pass through only once, Anchor Wharf wants you to finish on a red wax seal, Button Row asks for numbered buttons in order, and Fold Fair mirrors blue stitches. Undo, redo, a hint and a snip tool are always in reach: no timers and no lives on patterns.
Open Hush the Shop 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.
Hush 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.
