About Cork & Cauldron
Cork & Cauldron is a liquid-sorting puzzle by Playgama with a brewing step added on top. Every level is a customer order. A card shows the potion and its recipe, and the board holds flasks of mixed, glowing liquids. You pour between flasks to separate the ingredients. A flask that fills with one ingredient is corked and can go to the cauldron, where you brew by the recipe and return the result to the board to complete the order.
The recipes get more involved over time. Some brews take two steps, with the first potion used as an ingredient in the second. Rainbow essence works as a substitute for any ingredient. Double orders make you choose what to brew first. The board adds its own obstacles: wax seals, frozen flasks, flasks in mixed sizes and murky layers that hide their colors.
Filled orders pay out stars, which restore an old potion shop one room at a time, starting in a dusty trading hall and ending in a tower. Each order also adds an entry to a Potion Book, complete with a name and a one-line joke of a story. The game has 200 levels, 8 rooms and 120 potions, plus undo, an owl that gives hints, an extra flask, daily gifts, a win streak bonus, a color symbols mode aimed at color-blind players and 11 languages. It works in either orientation and plays in the browser with no download.

How to play Cork & Cauldron
Sort colored liquids into flasks, cork the full ones and brew the potion each customer has ordered.
Read the order card. It shows which potion the customer wants and the recipe that makes it.
Pour liquids from flask to flask until each ingredient sits alone in a flask of its own.
When a flask is full it gets corked. Send the corked flasks to the cauldron.
Brew the potion according to the recipe, then return it to the board to complete the order.
Collect your stars and spend them on restoring the potion shop. The game shows its controls on screen when it starts.
Tips and strategy
- Check the recipe before you pour anything. Only the ingredients on the card need to be gathered first.
- Keep one flask empty for as long as possible. It gives you room to shuffle layers around.
- On double orders, decide which potion to brew first before you start sorting.
- Treat rainbow essence as a spare part. It can replace any ingredient, so save it for the one that is hardest to collect.
- Finishing an order without boosters earns its golden edition, so try a clean attempt before you reach for the hint or the extra flask.
