›Story
Lantern City is on the verge of disaster: the Goddess Simurgh has been kidnapped by the evil Scientist! 30 Birds is a narrative puzzle game laid out on the surface of rotating lanterns. Wander through a gorgeous world inspired by Persian art, meet quirky birds, and solve puzzles to rescue Simurgh.
A court of feathers
In 30 Birds, you play as Zig, a young detective sent to bustling Lantern City to track down The Scientist. Alongside Hoop, a talented hoopoe stand-up comedian, you'll encounter a whole madhouse of feathered friends and quirky characters as you explore dazzling Lantern City from top to bottom. Solve a variety of puzzles to foil the plans of the obnoxious Scientist behind the kidnapping to save the bird Goddess Simurgh.
