Why Choose This Activity
Mahjong suits a calm, absorbing session on any program path when someone wants layered tile matching without a clock. The stacked board and gentle ambient music support a restorative mood. It works equally well as a focused puzzle or a quiet background activity.
No time pressure, Hint and Undo support, and optional Rearrange when stuck keep the classic solitaire format forgiving across all paths.
How It Plays
Clear the board by matching pairs of free tiles. A tile is free when nothing sits on top and its left or right side is open. Tap one free tile, then its match - both disappear. Most tiles need identical matches; any flower pairs with any flower, and any season with any season.

Facilitator Tips
- Start on Relax or Easy with a familiar layout before trying Expert structures.
- Look for tiles with an open left or right edge - top tiles block those underneath.
- Hint highlights a valid pair; Undo reverses the last match (limit varies by difficulty).
- If no moves remain, tap Rearrange to reshuffle leftover tiles.
- Separate volume controls for game sounds and ambient music; Next track skips BGM.
