What is Yarn Fever?
Yarn Fever! Unravel Puzzle is a colorful and addictive puzzle game that combines ASMR relaxation with creative problem-solving. Your goal is simple: collect colorful threads from knitted objects and sort them into matching colored boxes.
With over 400 levels of increasing difficulty, Yarn Fever offers hours of satisfying gameplay. The game is free to play on both iOS and Android, making it accessible to everyone.
Basic Game Mechanics
Understanding the core mechanics is essential for success:
- Knitted Objects: These contain multiple colored threads stacked on top of each other. You can only collect the top thread.
- Colored Boxes: Each box accepts only threads of its matching color. Fill a box completely to clear it.
- Temporary Slots: Use these to hold threads temporarily while you work on sorting. But be careful - filling all slots means game over!
- Thread Order: The order you collect threads matters. Plan ahead to avoid getting stuck.
Controls & Interface
Yarn Fever features intuitive tap-based controls:
- Tap a knitted object to collect the top thread
- Threads automatically go to matching boxes if available
- If no matching box is available, threads go to temporary slots
- Tap the undo button to reverse your last move (limited uses)
Understanding Boosters
Boosters can help you through tough levels:
🕳️ New Hole
Adds an extra temporary slot. Use this when all your slots are full and you need one more move to complete a color.
✨ Magic Box
Automatically sorts some threads for you. Best used when threads are scattered and hard to organize manually.
🧹 Broom
Clears obstacles or unwanted threads. Perfect for clearing a path when you're blocked.
💡 Pro Tip: Save your boosters for levels 50+. The early levels are designed to be completed without any help!
Tips for Your First 50 Levels
Here's how to breeze through the early game:
- Always scan first: Before making any moves, look at all objects and identify which colors are present.
- Direct matches first: If a thread can go directly to its box, collect it first.
- Keep slots empty: Try to maintain at least 1-2 empty temporary slots at all times.
- One color at a time: Focus on completing one color before moving to the next.
- Watch the order: Look at what's underneath before collecting a thread.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
New players often make these errors:
- Filling all slots: This is the #1 cause of failed levels. Always keep backup space.
- Random tapping: Don't just tap randomly hoping for the best. Plan your moves.
- Ignoring thread order: The thread on top might not be the one you need. Check what's underneath.
- Wasting boosters early: Levels 1-50 don't require boosters. Save them for harder challenges.
- Giving up too soon: Many levels have multiple solutions. If stuck, try a different approach.
