Mini golf through one glowing night
Nine islands from sunset to sunrise, played with a little glass ball that lights the way. No ads.
Coming soon to iPhone, iPad and Apple TV
Meet Glint and Wick
Glint is a glass ball with a light inside. It lights every lantern it passes, and lit lanterns open gates, bridges and shortcuts. Wick, the lantern caddie, hovers beside every putt with a tip when you want one. An owl called Old Hoot has invited you both to meet him on the moonbow at sunrise.
One night, nine islands
Each island opens when the one before it has lit its great lantern. Scroll to watch the night go by.

Every putt feels like a toy
Pull back anywhere on the course and let go. The ball behaves like a real golf ball at true size, and the aim line runs the same simulation as the shot, so it never lies. Prefer another way? Switch to two-step or two-tap putting in Settings.
Long after the first round
Blackouts
Every island but the last has a Blackout: its nine holes again, in the dark.
Night Owls Tour
Nine rivals, three bouts each, played as match play on the same physics as you.
Glow jars
Catch seven glows on your way, like Hop and Float, and pour one while the ball rolls.
Tonight’s Hole
One hole a day, the same for everyone, sometimes with a twist such as a giant cup.
Party on one device
Two to four players on one screen: take turns, putt all at once, or share a ball.
Lost Stars
Every hole hides a star only Glint’s light can show. Find nine on an island for a secret hole.
A band on every island
Each island has its own original theme, from a harbor swing to a sunrise anthem, played live by your device. Critters you pass join in with a kazoo, a tin whistle or a bullfrog croak. Every bounce is a note, and your round plays back as a tune on a music box.
Free to start, one purchase for the rest
Lantern Wharf, Firefly Fen, Tonight’s Hole and Party will be free. The Full Cup, one purchase with no ads anywhere, opens the rest of the night.
