Line up spooky pieces in threes for a high score
Halloween Match 3 fills a tall board with jack-o'-lanterns, ghosts, vampires, green monsters and mummies, with a potion bottle perched above it. Trade two neighboring pieces to form a row or column of at least three matching faces, watch them vanish, and let new ones tumble in from above. A TIME counter runs under the board, and a multiplier such as x2 or x3 can light up beside your score.
How to play Halloween Match 3
- Find two neighboring pieces that would form a line of three or more if they swapped places.
- Click one piece and then its neighbor, or drag between them, to make the swap.
- Matched pieces disappear and score points, and the pieces above fall to fill the gap.
- Keep matching while the TIME counter runs, then compare your total with the best score shown under the board.

Tips to play better
- Before each swap, check whether the move could complete a line across and a line down at the same time.
- Take lines of four or five whenever they appear, since a longer line clears more of the board in one move.
- Watch the pieces that drop in after each match; new arrivals often open up a move you did not have before.
- When a multiplier shows beside your score, keep the matches coming quickly to get the most out of it.

Halloween Match 3 FAQ
Do diagonal lines count as matches in Halloween Match 3?
No. Only straight runs of at least three, across or up and down, clear from the board.
What should I do when I cannot find a match?
Scan one column at a time and look for two matching pieces separated by a single space. A neighbor of that gap can often be swapped in to finish the line.
