Local scores are stored in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browsing data, playing in a private or incognito window, or using guest mode all wipe that storage. Play in a normal window and avoid the clear-cache button if a high score matters to you.

No. Lantern Wayfarner is an HTML5 game that runs entirely inside the web page, so opening this page is the whole installation. If any site asks you to install a downloader, extension or .exe file before playing, close that page - a real browser game never needs one.

Very little. A browser game like Lantern Wayfarner typically transfers a few megabytes when it loads and almost nothing while you play. That is far lighter than streaming video, so it is fine even on a limited data plan.

That is exactly what it is designed for. Rounds are short, nothing needs to be downloaded, and there is no account or commitment - open the page, play a few minutes, close it. Many players keep Lantern Wayfarner open in a pinned tab for exactly this purpose.

No. It is a low-pressure game without punishing timers, which is what separates casual titles from arcade grinders. You can play it half-watching a video, though the high-score chase rewards focus if you decide to take it seriously.

Look for the fullscreen icon in the game's own toolbar, or press the fullscreen key your browser offers (often F11). Maximising the window and setting browser zoom to 100 percent also gives you the largest, correctly scaled view.

Ads keep the game free, and they are placed around the game rather than inside it. An aggressive blocker sometimes breaks game scripts as a side effect, so if the game stops loading, add an exception for this site and reload.

Most rounds restart from the game's own menu or the restart button on the end screen. If you want a completely clean state, reload the page. Clearing local storage resets saved scores too, but remember that also erases your best results.

You need an internet connection to load the page the first time. After the game assets have loaded, some simpler games keep working briefly if the connection drops, but a stable connection is always recommended and any online features require it.

Browsers pause background tabs to save resources, and some games lose focus as a result. Return to the tab, click once inside the game area to restore focus, and if the session still looks stuck, a fresh reload is the simplest fix - your locally saved score stays.
