About Fireboy and Watergirl 6: Fairy Tales
A third pair of hands joins the classic formula in Fireboy and Watergirl 6: Fairy Tales. Alongside the familiar fire and water heroes, a group of fairies arrives to help, and you guide them with your mouse to solve each room. That small change opens up a new style of puzzle, because there's now a helper moving independently of the two characters running and jumping through the temple.
There are 30 new levels packed with levers and buttons, and as always the aim is to finish fast and grab every diamond. Playing with a friend is a natural fit: one person steers Fireboy, the other Watergirl, and whoever has a free moment takes care of the fairies. Solo players have more juggling to do, which makes clearing a level with a perfect score feel especially rewarding.
How to play Fireboy and Watergirl 6: Fairy Tales
- Move Fireboy and Watergirl through the new temple, keeping each away from the element that harms them.
- Use your mouse to move the fairies and let them help solve the puzzles.
- Turn levers and push buttons to open paths through the 30 levels.
- Finish quickly and collect all the diamonds to earn a perfect score.

Tips and tricks
- Position the fairies before you start moving the heroes, so you aren't working the mouse and keyboard at the same time.
- With two players, agree in advance who takes over the mouse for fairy moves so nobody gets caught mid-jump.
- For a perfect score, learn the diamond route on your first run, then replay the level focusing on speed.
- The classic hazards still apply, so keep Fireboy out of water and Watergirl out of fire while the fairies do their part.
