Do I need to sign up?
No. On Minka you play straight away and for free. Your progress (coins, streak, stats) is saved on this device.
What are the daily puzzles?
Every day there is a new solitaire deal, a mahjong board, a word and a jigsaw. The same for everyone. New ones arrive at midnight.
How does the streak work?
Solve at least one daily puzzle on a day and your streak grows by one. Skip a day and it starts again, unless you hold a streak shield: it saves your streak for one missed day. You get one free every 7 streak days and can hold up to two.
What does the puzzle calendar show?
On the home page you see every day of the month: a paw when you solved a daily puzzle, a star when you did all four. 5, 12 and 20 puzzle days in a month earn a bronze, silver and gold trophy. Tap a missed day (up to 30 days back) to catch up. That fills the calendar, but the streak only counts on the day itself.
What are coins for?
You start with 100 coins. Every won game earns 10, a daily puzzle 25. A hint costs 5 coins. In the shop you trade coins for card backs, tables, jigsaw albums and more; much of it unlocks at higher levels. Coins can also be bought, but not cashed out.
The text is too small.
Hold Ctrl (on a Mac: cmd) and press the plus key to make everything bigger. Ctrl and 0 brings it back.
The sound bothers me.
Turn the sound off and on with one click, top right.
