Story

Grandpa Halil's record still stands.

Years ago in the village square, Grandpa Halil raised his handkerchief and led a halay of 200 people. Nobody has come close since.

There's a wedding tonight. The drummer has his stick, the zurna player has caught his breath, and the bride and groom are on the floor. Your uncle is calling you to the halay: take the lead and bring the whole village along.

How to play

Know three things, the drum does the rest.

  1. Drag your finger

    The halay follows you. Lead it anywhere in the hall.

  2. Go to the wavers

    Pass by a guest who stands up and waves at their table, and they join the halay.

  3. Don't crash

    If your lead touches another halay, yours falls apart. Make them crash into you instead.

15 halay leaders

Who will lead the halay?

Each one has a power that changes how the halay plays. You start with two; the rest unlock as you pass villages.
