Free · version 0.1.6 · Android phones and tablets. Testing is done and Google is doing its final check, so it's out soon.

About this game

The fair is open and everyone wants a ride. Tap a visitor and they walk off the plaza, round the bench, up the side steps and into a cabin of their colour. If their cabin isn't at the platform, they wait on the bench. Each visitor can only walk the way they face, so the ones at the back have to wait for a clear path.

A cabin waits at the platform until it is full, then the wheel turns and the next one comes down. The riders laugh in the windows as they go round, then come down the middle steps and hop away with hearts. Plan who goes first and keep the bench free: if it fills up, the level is lost.

Every level can be won on its own bench, without videos or coins. A computer player checks each one. If you are stuck, the order is wrong, not the level.

  • Five fairs: Sunset Fair, Night Fair, Seaside Pier, Winter Fair and Spring Garden, each with its own waltz. A VIP in a hurry every tenth level.
  • Something new every few levels: visitors who face every way, newcomers queueing to come in, mystery visitors and sleepy ones who wait their turn.
  • Help when you want it: one free undo and two wheel spins per level. A short optional video gives one more. Never a forced ad.
  • My Fair: coins buy a carousel, candy floss, balloons, swings and more stalls, and every stall pays coins each level.
  • Hats: stars win party hats, caps, straw hats, beanies, flower crowns, a top hat, bunny ears and a crown for your visitors.
  • Scoreboards: sign in with Google Play Games to compare your stars and this week's stars with friends and the whole world.
