Report an issueMoonlight Mahjong is Mahjong Solitaire in virtual reality 3D, designed specifically for the iPhone and iPad. Intuitive touch control allows you to tilt and turn, zoom in and out to match tiles in 3D. Play “arcade style” with progressively difficult levels and high scores, or relax with one of the non-competitive game modes. The gameplay is simple yet addictive.
Moonlight Mahjong features four main types of play:
• Scramble Mode: Match tiles faster than the automated opponent "Tilebot" through increasingly difficult levels. The board is automatically reshuffled when you run out of matches, making this game mode easy to start and fun, yet challenging on the higher levels.
• Challenge Mode: Compete against Tilebot in full puzzle mode, with no automatic reshuffling, only undo. Challenge requires more strategy than Scramble. This is the ‘pure’ form of the game, but it is difficult!
• Puzzle Mode: Solve puzzle boards with no time limit. Choose any layouts you like. This is the original game mode, what people usually think of as Mahjong Solitaire.
• Relaxation Mode: Clear boards with no time limit and automatic reshuffling when out of matches. Perfect for when you're just not in the mood to strategize or rush.
This free advertising-supported version of Moonlight Mahjong features five complete game modes (the main four, plus 'Lightning Mode'). The full version of Moonlight Mahjong offers a few additional features with no advertisements.
Moonlight Mahjong is the original 3D Mahjong Solitaire on iOS, having debuted with the launch of the App Store in 2008. It has been played millions of times and was honored as a "Best Board Game" on the App Store.

8 of 25Keeps adding more and more ads, but the insult is that you can have the game set to mute, but it unmutes for every ad shown between levels
Used to be good. As of the last few days, the ads now play sound, take up more time, and are much harder to skip/dismiss.
I understand the high number of plays and the timing gets faster. However, this is so very fast at higher numbers it is not possible to move forward. Actually takes fun out of the game.
Love the game. Tibolt is fun once you learn how to work with it. Just don’t touch the tile until you have a pair in sight. The more wrong tiles you hit the faster Tibolt goes. I have cleared over 2,000,000 points by being patient and touching only the tiles I see a pair for.
I downloaded this game about 7 or so years ago, possibly longer. Was hands down the best free game in the App Store. I play it almost every night for years before I go to bed. Tonight… have to wait and watch an advertisement between games. Soooooo disappointed. I had a good run, thanks for years of enjoyment. Guess I will have to find something else to look at before retiring to bed. Thanks for years of entertainment.
I only play the relaxation mode which for me is perfect. Sometimes the number of tiles gets ridiculously large but in general the variety of the layouts works for me. The only thing missing is how many layouts I have solved.
I’ve enjoyed this game off and on for YEARS, and have finally had enough. The game speeds up ridiculously faster (in-humanly fast) when you get up in the higher levels. I find it impossible to win when the “computer” is playing at inhuman speeds. I’m done… game is deleted.
All the others I tried are too easy and just get a bit boring after a bit. This one gets increasingly difficult due to the different levels. And although there are ads (I understand they need to make a living) they not tedious and they easy to click away, unlike a lot of other mahjong games.
