Creek plays in any browser today. The iPhone app is on its way.

Stuck on a stone? Start here.

How do I play?

Every day Creek deals a new stretch of an Austin creek, the same one for everyone, and it changes at midnight, Austin time. Tap a stone to turn it a quarter turn, and keep turning until the water runs through. Pink stones are fixed and do not turn, so the other stones turn to meet them. When the water runs, Creek shows your turns against par and offers a short note to copy or share, and your streak counts the days in a row. Practice, under the sheet, lets you pick a creek from 4 by 4 up to 9 by 9, and it never touches your streak.

Where is my streak?

Your streak and your progress are kept on the device you play on, in your browser or in the iPhone app, and nowhere else. A different browser or device starts at zero, and clearing the site's data in your browser, or deleting the app, clears them. Nothing is sent to us, so we cannot look up or restore a streak. The privacy policy says everything Creek keeps.

How do I join the beta?

Creek plays in any browser today at releaf.site/creek. The iPhone app is on its way, and before it reaches the App Store it will be free to try on TestFlight, Apple's app for betas. When the beta is open, its invitation is at the top of this page and on the beta page, with the last day it works. To join:

• Install TestFlight from the App Store. It is made by Apple and costs nothing.
• Open the invitation on your iPhone or iPad and tap Accept, then Install.
• To send us a note, take a screenshot while you play, tap the little picture that appears in the corner and choose Share Beta Feedback. Or open TestFlight, choose Creek and tap Send Beta Feedback.
