The game
What is Siren Jam?
Siren Jam: Parking Puzzle is a free puzzle game for Android and iPhone. In every level an emergency vehicle (an ambulance, a fire engine or a police car) is parked in a jammed car park and boxed in on every side.
You tap the other cars so they drive away, in the right order, until the emergency vehicle has a clear lane and can race to the hospital, the fire or the bank alarm.
What kind of puzzle is Siren Jam?
Siren Jam is a parking puzzle, the kind also called a car park jam or an unblock-the-car puzzle. You clear one of the two lanes of an ambulance, fire engine or police car within a move limit, and the rest of the car park can stay jammed.
All 160 levels are checked by a solver, so every one of them can be cleared.
When does it come out, and where can I get it?
Siren Jam is coming to Google Play and the App Store. There is no release date to share yet. When the store pages open, the buttons on this site will link straight to them.
Is it free? Can I buy anything?
Siren Jam is free, and there is nothing to buy: no coin packs, no subscriptions and no paid levels.
You earn coins by clearing levels (more for new stars), from the daily gift and, if you choose, by watching a short ad. Coins buy power-ups, and five extra moves when you run out.
Are there ads?
Siren Jam shows an ad only when you ask for one. In the shop, or when you are out of moves and short of coins, you can tap Watch to see a short ad for 40 coins, up to five times a day. There are no ads during a level and no banner ads.
Which devices can play it?
Siren Jam is made for Android phones and tablets, through Google Play, and for iPhone and iPad, through the App Store.
Who makes Siren Jam?
Siren Jam is made by Matterward Labs Private Limited, which builds AI software and apps for Android, iPhone, Mac and watches from Odisha, India. See matterwardlabs.com.
Is Siren Jam connected to siren jam music?
No. Siren Jam: Parking Puzzle is a mobile puzzle game by Matterward Labs. It has nothing to do with the siren jam music trend, the beats built from car sirens.
Playing
How do you play?
Tap a car and it drives off the way its arrow points, round the one-way ring road (the road around the outside of the car park) and out of the nearest open exit, as long as nothing is in its way. If something is, it honks, the cars in the way flash red, and the tap costs no move.
The emergency vehicle cannot turn, so it can only leave straight ahead or straight back: those two lines of cells are its lanes. Empty either lane and it drives out and races to its call. Tapping the emergency vehicle shows what is still in its lanes, for free. You can try a small jam on the home page.
How many levels are there?
160 levels in eight worlds of 20: Downtown, Maple Suburbs, Harbor City, Roadworks District, Snowy Heights, Festival Square, Sunny Farmland and Frontline Valley. See every world.
Can every level be solved?
Yes. Every Siren Jam level is checked by a solver before it ships: a program that works out the fewest moves needed to clear each of the emergency vehicle's two lanes. The move limit is the cheaper lane plus a small margin.
On later levels the other lane costs more than the limit allows, so reading the board before you tap is the puzzle.
How do stars work?
Clear a level within its move limit to win it, and every win earns at least one star. Beat the level's two-star time for two stars and its three-star time for three. Each level's times are set from how long the solver expects its solution to take to play.
Taps that bump into another car do not use a move, but on harder levels they add a second or two to the clock. New stars earn extra coins.
What do the power-ups do?
There are four, bought with coins. Tow Truck hauls one car away without using a move. Traffic Light turns every light green for 8 seconds. Hint shows the next good move. Freeze stops the clock for 10 seconds.
I can't clear a level. What now?
Try the other lane; one of the two usually needs fewer moves. The Hint power-up shows the next good move, and the Tow Truck hauls one car away without using a move. The support page has more.
Saves and data
Does it work offline?
Yes. Every level of Siren Jam plays offline. You only need a connection for the cloud save and for ads.
Can I keep my progress on a new phone?
Yes, if you sign in. Open Settings and sign in with Google Play Games on Android or Game Center on iPhone and iPad. Your coins, power-ups and stars are then backed up and kept in sync.
Android and Apple accounts are separate, so progress does not move between an Android phone and an iPhone. More about saves.
Are there achievements?
Siren Jam has ten achievements, on Google Play Games and Game Center, such as clearing all of Downtown or earning three stars on every level of a world. You earn them offline too; they are sent the next time you are signed in.
What data does the game collect?
Siren Jam collects usage events and crash reports with no name, email or user ID attached; a private cloud save, only if you sign in; and advertising data, only for the optional ads. There is no chat and no precise location, and we do not sell your personal data.
The privacy policy lists everything, and you can delete your data at any time.
