OPEN TO EVERYONE
Cranberry Lantern
Lantern light catches the berry baskets. Three firefly jars begin five free rounds with a multiplier that climbs from two to four.

THE EVENING SHIFT IS YOURS
A little less hurry.
A little more wonder.
The lanterns are lit along the cranberry boardwalk. Turn a handle, follow the current, and spend a few imaginary coins. They cost nothing. They are worth nothing. That is rather the point.

THREE WAYS THROUGH THE WETLANDS
Same water.
Different workings.
Each machine has its own rhythm. Your imaginary coin balance follows you between all three.
FREE ACCOUNT
Willow Locks
Turn the sluice key and let the current through. Wild water lilies stay in place for the next respin; a fresh lily keeps the mechanism moving.

Reedfall Mill
The mill never hurries. Matching symbols leave the window, the reeds settle down, and a fresh row arrives from above.

A KEY, NOT A COMMITMENT
Keep your coins.
Open two more doors.
A nickname, an email and a password make a free workshop account. The coins from your open-world session come with you. No extra purchase screen appears around the corner.
- Try the lantern. Your first 100,000 play coins are already on the workbench.
- Take a key if you like. A free account saves a balance snapshot and opens the locks and mill.
- Leave whenever. There is no streak to protect and nothing here can be cashed out.
THE WORKBENCH NOTEBOOK
Numbers we actually measured.
Five independent runs of 1,000,000 paid-spin cycles per world, including every feature round. These are simulation results for fictional coins, not a promise about your session. A hit is any positive return, including a return smaller than the play-coin bet.
| World | Measured return | Positive return | Feature trigger | Free rounds / paid cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cranberry Lantern | 96.775% | 65.712% | 1.437% | 0.07186 |
| Willow Locks | 96.765% | 79.386% | 62.931% | 1.38534 |
| Reedfall Mill | 96.469% | 65.660% | 64.886% | 0.00000 |
15,000,000 paid-spin cycles in total. Free rounds include respins where applicable; cascades are included in return but are not counted as free spins. No independent certification is claimed. Detailed seeds and per-run results are included in the downloadable source archive.
THE WORKSHOP CAN WAIT
Put the kettle on.
Step away from the reeds.
A 20-minute reminder offers a natural stopping point. There is no shop, no purchase prompt, and no reason to chase a coin balance. If play stops feeling light, leave it for another day.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you wander off.
Can I play before making an account?
Yes. Cranberry Lantern runs on the homepage, immediately below the introduction. Willow Locks and Reedfall Mill need a free workshop account.
What are these coins worth?
Nothing outside this little workshop. You cannot buy them, give them to somebody else, redeem them or turn them into money. A fresh balance is free if you run short.
Do my open-world coins come with me?
When you register, the current balance from this browser becomes your account balance. Signing into an existing account loads that account’s saved balance instead; it does not add the guest balance again.
What does measured return mean?
It is the percentage of fictional coins returned over our simulation runs, with all feature rounds included. It describes the tested code over millions of cycles. Your short session can look very different.
What is different about each machine?
The lantern has five free rounds with multipliers 2, 2, 3, 3 and 4. The locks hold wilds for respins. The mill removes matching symbols and drops fresh ones from above. Rules & pays shows the details and the finite safety limits.
Is the workshop for everyone?
It is for adults: UK 18+, Canada 19+. The Canadian minimum is a single site rule throughout Canada. No purchases or real-money play are offered.
Can I recover a forgotten password?
Email recovery is not included in this edition. Keep your password somewhere safe. If you are still signed in, you can delete your account after entering its current password.
