Design Diary Match 3 & Home

Design Diary Match 3 & Home pairs its puzzles with a renovation story. Claire and Alice want to become top house designers, and you help them by designing homes while solving match-3 levels.

The matching side is described only briefly: you swipe colours to make matches and clear levels, and the developer claims hundreds of them. The home side gets more attention. There are episodes that open up as you go, different kinds of houses to renovate, and hidden areas to explore and decorate. Friendship is part of the pitch too, though the developer says nothing more about it.

So the puzzles and the design work run side by side, even if the details are thin. What the decorating involves, and how levels and episodes connect, are left for you to see in play. The frame is wide, 1920 by 1080.

Swipe colours on the board to make matches and beat each level. Alongside the puzzles, help Claire and Alice with the renovation of each house. New episodes open as you progress, bringing other houses and hidden areas to explore and decorate. The developer gives no step-by-step rules beyond this, so the first levels are where you learn them.

The developer does not list the controls for this game. It runs inside the frame above, so a click or a tap on the game is the place to start.

Treat the early levels as the tutorial, since the developer describes the matching only as swiping colours. The decorating is spread over episodes and hidden areas that open with progress, so seeing more of the houses means beating more levels. Hundreds of levels are claimed, so there is no hurry.

A match-3 with a home-renovation story about Claire and Alice, in a wide landscape frame (1920 by 1080). Episodes, house types and hidden areas open up with progress. The developer claims hundreds of levels.

Candy World Saga also tells a story around its board, with Mark and Julie solving their grandfather's candy puzzle, and Wizardry Match 3 follows a named heroine, the witch Gueraula.
