What are Match 3 games?

These games have their origins in the 1980s when Tetris and other chain reaction games were popular. The concept is simple: you have to align three or more circles, squares, or other shapes in a row so they disappear and are replaced with new ones until you complete the level’s objective.

Some rules may vary from game to game, but don’t worry—most of them include a tutorial mode before you start.

How do you play these games?

You need to collect three or more pieces of the same color, shape, or theme in a row. Some versions require you to link them in a straight line that can go up, down, left, or right. Others present a game field filled with various units, and to match three or more tiles, you can swap them with adjacent ones.

You won’t have any problem with this, as most games include instructions to teach you how to play beforehand.

Who invented Match 3 games?

These games owe a lot to solitaire and other similar card games, but their video game origins trace back to the famous Tetris, created in 1984 by Russian game designer Alexey Pajitnov, and Chain Shot!, invented by Japanese developer Kuniaki Moribe in 1985.
