Rules, controls, and tips
How To Play Lantern Dungeon
Inspect each room, read path clues, manage lantern steps, gather gate runes, and find the exit through an original browser dungeon.
Quick start steps
Use these steps before your first run.
- Learn the controls
Use arrow keys, WASD, on-screen arrows, or tap an adjacent room to move one step at a time.
- Track your result
Each move spends lantern glow. Mist vents dim it faster, while glow wells restore it once per run.
- Step 3
Gather all three gate runes before stepping into the exit room.
- Use the support controls
Restart keeps the same map, while New run rotates to another original local trail.
