Alchemy — Play Free Online

About Alchemy

Alchemy is one of the simplest games in the combination genre, and that is its appeal. There is a workbench, a list of what you have found, and the four classical elements. Drag two items together and see what happens. There are no groups, no quests and no story, only the growing list on the side of the screen and the small thrill of a combination that works.

Because it is so lean, it plays quickly on any device and works well as a five-minute puzzle. The recipe set leans on real-world logic, so a guess that would make sense in the kitchen or the garden usually makes sense here.

How to Play Alchemy

1. Drag an element from the list onto the workbench.
2. Drag a second element onto the first.
3. A valid pair produces a new item that joins the list.
4. Keep combining until the list stops growing.

Controls

• Mouse: drag and drop.
• Touch: drag with a finger.
• Trash icon: clears the workbench.

Tips and Tricks

• Try each new item against the four basics before anything else.
• Think in categories: plants, animals, tools, weather. Real-world logic is the recipe book.
• Keep the workbench tidy. A crowded bench makes it easy to miss what you have already tried.
• Items that never combine further are dead ends; move on.

Alchemy FAQ

How many items are there?

Several hundred, depending on the version, and the counter on screen tells you how many you have found.

Is it the same as Little Alchemy?

It is the same idea with a different, smaller recipe set and no encyclopedia.
