What is Little Alchemy 2?
Little Alchemy 2 is the sequel to the original Little Alchemy, a relaxed puzzle game made by the small studio Recloak. It runs in the browser and on phones, and it is built around one simple idea: mix two things together and see what you get.
You begin with the four classic elements. Dragging one onto another creates something new, such as fire plus water making steam, and each discovery comes with a short, often funny description. Slowly you unlock everything from life and humans to the internet, with hundreds of items to find in the base game.
