Poor King Robert, his castle needs restoring and he keeps getting stuck in all manner of nightmarish situations. Luckily, we love jumping in to assist! With vibrant match-3 action and super-snappy levels, Royal Match is an immersive and irresistible puzzle game that we can’t get enough of.

We knew we loved it when: We experienced the plethora of power-ups and boosters on offer. Who can resist smashing tiles with the Royal Hammer and setting off Propellers? For even more fun, combine them – there’s nothing more satisfying than setting off a chain reaction. You can also take part in quests, Rushes, Cups and season passes to earn a bounty of extra lives and rewards, and indulge your competitive side by joining a team or racing other players to complete puzzles.

Our favourite moment: Feeling like a hero when we manage to rescue the King from one of his fearsome nightmare levels. Through the power of matching, blasting and quick thinking, you’ll fight fire, floods and dragons to save him.

The biggest surprise: King Robert’s castle of dreams! We’ve lost count of how many fabulous rooms there are to decorate in this palace… all we want to know is if we can move in too? Once you’ve covered the basics (which include a throne room and a library), you’ll soon be setting up a luxurious observatory, creating delectable treats in the candy shop and building the ultimate tree house.
