Butterfly Shimai FAQ

Butterfly Shimai is a free mahjong connect (Onet-style) puzzle game by Famobi. You match two identical butterfly wings so they join into a butterfly and fly away, until the board is clear.

Click one wing, then click the identical wing. They only match if a clear path joins them; other wings block the way, so the order in which you clear pairs matters. Players and guides describe the path as allowed to turn at most twice.

CrazyGames lists one control: use the left mouse button to click and match the butterflies. On phones and tablets you simply tap.

Most guides describe a countdown timer on each board, with matches buying back a little time. Watch the bar in the game itself, as the exact values may change between versions.

The game is developed and published by Famobi. It was added to CrazyGames in March 2022.
