About Cairns

What is <i>Cairns</i>?

Cairns is the exemplary stone balancing simulation game. Travel to diverse and breathtaking outdoor environments, where each Cairn Stack is a self contained physics puzzle requiring Balance, Patience and Perfection to solve and progress.

Featuring over 100 hand-crafted puzzling Stacks to solve and complete, across 5 glorious outdoor environments, Cairns has a significant amount to play, learn and master.

Balance

The foundation of achieving success in Cairns is achieving Balance. Maintaining the placement of each stone, their order, and the center of gravity is necessary to complete each Cairn Stack.

Accurately simulated real time physics makes balancing stones intuitive, and every Cairn Stack has been carefully designed to be challenging yet achievable.

Patience

Patience is necessary to overcome the hurdles and frustrations of failure, and push through to success.

An emphasis on designing a high quality of life experience is at the heart of Cairns, making mistakes educational rather than painful.

What makes Cairns pleasant and flowing are features like

•

Intuitive camera and Stone controls

•

Undo and Redo

•

Pinning Stones

Perfection

Striving for Perfection, and achieving it, is the most satisfying measure of ability. It is not enough to simply reach a Stack's goal height. Challenge yourself to go above and beyond, perhaps using every stone, or the least amount of stones, as quickly as possible, or with as few moves as possible.
