WHAT WE’RE PLAYING
How to Build Your Dream House
Homescapes
Your Home Is Your Puzzle
Austin isn’t your typical videogame hero. After moving back in with his parents, the bowtie-wearing butler decides to spruce up their dusty, dated home. Solve engaging match-3 puzzles to redecorate and turn the place into a beautifully made-over mansion.
What we love: Putting our personal touch on the sprawling estate. Wallpaper, sofas, bookshelves, aquarium—every upgrade comes in multiple options that let you go as old-fashioned or modern as you like. With all sorts of areas to unlock (including a boathouse and massive courtyard), Homescapes will give your design muscles a serious workout.
Quick tip: Use the right power-up for the job! Paper planes are great for picking off lone pieces without a nearby match; save row-clearing rockets for bigger obstacles. Need the whole board cleared? Form two rainbow balls and match ’em up!
