Bookly is a cosy book-sorting game for 1–4 players. Become a friendly spirit librarian and turn book-filled chaos into neatly organised shelves, one story at a time.
Explore libraries of different sizes, gather scattered books, reunite their series, and find each volume its proper place. Watch the piles shrink and the shelves fill as you bring order back to each library.
Settle into a quiet solo session or tackle the mess together in local split-screen or online co-op. Whether you carefully organise as you go or gather everything into an even bigger pile first, there’s a satisfying sort waiting for you.
Turn chaos into order — pick up, sort, and shelve scattered books.
Sort solo or together — play alone or with up to three friends in local split-screen or online co-op.
Find your next project — tackle libraries in a range of sizes.
Make yourself at home — enjoy a gentle, low-pressure game about books and tidying.
