The Last Lantern - Soundtrack

Your adventure soundtrack

From the festival’s lively music to the quiet beneath the town, we’ve handpicked music and soundscapes to accompany your adventure. Find your scene, press play, and let the story begin.

Human-composed music. No AI-generated tracks.

Before you begin

  1. Keep it in the background. Set the volume low enough to hear each other comfortably. Music is optional throughout the adventure.
  2. Follow the book’s soundtrack cues. Use the player below or open the matching video on YouTube. If you visit locations in a different order, choose the track for the place you are in.
  3. Let your game set the pace. Change tracks when the scene changes. You never need to wait for a video to finish. If it ends early, replay it or repeat the current video.
  4. Have your favorite song ready. You’ll switch to the song you chose for the adventure during “Save Me a Dance.”
