Lighting the diyas…

Fireworks Simulator

A free 3D fireworks and Diwali crackers simulator you play online, right in your browser. You stand on a river ghat at night with every Diwali cracker in your pocket: phuljhadi (sparklers), anar (flower pots), chakri (ground spinners), rockets, mirchi bombs, green sutli bombs and ladis. They never run out. Tap the ×1 button to switch to ×10 or ×100, and one tap puts down a hundred at once: a wall of anars, a hundred sutli bombs, a sky full of rockets.

Drone and laser shows fly over the river every few minutes while you play. Nothing to download, no login, no smoke, and it works on most phones. For the full Diwali night, with 108 diyas to light and a finale, play Virtual Diwali.

How to play, and questions

How to play

  • On a phone: pick a cracker from the row at the bottom, tap the big button to light it, and walk with your left thumb. Turning the phone sideways helps.
  • On a computer: keys 1 to 8 pick a cracker, E or a click lights it, and WASD walks.
  • ×1, ×10, ×100: the ×1 button on the right, above the light button, switches how many go down with one tap. At ×100 you get a wall of a hundred anars, or a hundred rockets at once.

What's in it

Seven Diwali crackers, all unlimited: phuljhadi (sparkler), anar (flower pot), chakri (ground spinner), rocket, mirchi bomb, sutli bomb and ladi (a string of small crackers). You burst them on a river ghat with diyas on the steps, and a drone or laser show flies over the water every few minutes.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. No login, no ads, nothing to buy.

Do I need to download anything?

No. It runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. It's about 3 MB to start, and it works on most phones from the last few years.

Is this the "Diwali Simulator" from YouTube?

No. Most of those videos are Fireworks Mania, a paid PC game, or Roblox. This one runs in your browser for free, on a phone too. There's a list of other Diwali games if you want to compare.

Is it safe for kids?

There's no chat, no ads and no smoke. The only thing players share is the sky of lanterns, and lantern wishes are picked from a fixed list, so nobody can type anything there.
