Thor and the Giant’s Mitten

About the game

A mission in six stages about a giant’s mitten that a whole party mistook for a hall - and every stage is a different game.

Thor and the Giant’s Mitten is a mission in six stages, drawn from the Norse Eddas, about a giant’s mitten that a whole travelling party mistook for a hall. Every stage is a different game, played round by round. In The Long Dark you sweep a lantern about to find the way in. In A Room and a Half you drag Thor, Loki, Thialfi, Roskva, the goats, the sack and the cart into the room and tap to turn them until everyone fits. In The Snoring you watch which seams jolt, then tap them back. In The Knot you drag the pegs until no cords cross, in The Long Carry you swipe to shift the mitten and tap to turn it, and in Whose Is It? you hold up clues until only one of three giants is left.

Nothing is timed and nothing can be lost: undo whenever you like, and par is only there for show. What you spot in the dark comes back later as a clue. The Six Stages lets you pick up where you left off, Your Progress shows the rounds cleared and how tidily, and About explains where the story comes from. It plays by touch, mouse, keyboard or gamepad.
