About Match Mystery

Swap two tiles, line up three of a kind, and the board answers. That part is familiar. What this one adds is a story told between the boards, so a cleared level buys the next piece of the plot rather than only a higher number.

The levels are described as endless, with the difficulty rising as you go. It plays upright at 600 by 800, on a phone or a desktop, and one input does everything. There is nothing to install and nothing to learn past the first swap.

How to play

  1. Swap two neighbouring tiles to line up three of a kind.
  2. Clear what the level asks for before you run out of moves.
  3. Carry on to the next level to see where the story goes.

Controls

Tap or clickEverything. One input does the whole game.

Tips

  • Look at the bottom of the board first. A match down there drops everything above it and often sets off a second clear.
  • A move that lines up four or more is worth waiting one turn for.
