Match Masters is a free-to-play game that blends familiar Match-3 puzzle gameplay with real-time PvP multiplayer against friends. It’s backed by a booster economy and trophy competition that make the game stand out from other casual Match-3 titles.
Players can also bring two perks to each match: blue stars that charge their booster and red circles that collect for their opponent.
Challenge your friends to a match.
Match Masters puts a twist on the saturated Match-3 puzzle genre by adding a real-time multiplayer, gameshow-style competition. Players make moves over rounds to remove and match pieces on a shared game board, and scoring points is accomplished by matching pieces in a line or creating special boosters with perks.
The game has been successful in attracting players with its competitive nature, leading to steady download and revenue growth since its debut, fueled in part by celebrity TV ads and a $10 million Series C funding round in 2022. However, its PvP-only core is in conflict with the casual and fun experience that the broad puzzle audience typically seeks, potentially hindering further growth unless the studio can introduce features that engage more casual players.
Players can challenge friends from their Friends List in the Main Menu, or by tapping on a friend’s name to open a dialog. If a friend accepts the challenge, they will receive a special booster. Once the challenge is completed, the player who scored the most points is declared the winner.
Share boosters and perks with your friends.
Match Masters is full of boosters, perks and other goodies that you can earn or purchase with real money. However, the game also offers players free boosters, coins and stickers every day through its daily gifts.
These gift links are shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, discord channels and in the game’s chat room. Once redeemed, the links will open the app and show the player a gift popup in the game. Players can then select the “Collect” button to get their rewards.
The free boosters are bronze, silver and gold. The most powerful of these are the diamond boosters. These include Vinnie Valentine, Colonel Mcquack, Woolly Workout, Foxy Roxy and more. These boosters create a large explosion on the board and eliminate multiple pieces at once. The High Voltage booster zaps all pieces of the same color in the same rows and columns. It costs 7 blue stars to activate. There are also other specialized boosters like the Firecracker, Crazy Rocket and more.
Invite your friends to join you in a match.
Match Masters is a new twist on classic match-3 games. It offers players the chance to play against their friends or random opponents from around the world. In addition, there are a variety of boosters and perks to choose from which can be used in matches to give players a competitive edge.
Once a player has built up their friendship list, they can challenge their friends to a match. This can be done by opening the Friends menu from the main menu and selecting a friend. A link will then appear which can be copied and shared through a number of communication channels including WhatsApp.
When a challenge is accepted, the two friends will enter a private match. The winner of the match will get to keep their opponent’s chosen booster, which adds an extra element of tension and competition to each challenge. Players can add a maximum of 100 friends to their Friends list and can remove them by opening the Friends menu and tapping on a name.
Create a team of friends.
Match Masters puts a novel twist on the saturated Match-3 puzzle genre by offering real-time multiplayer competition and a gameshow theme. Players play in teams, compete with each other, earn rewards, and share boosters and perks.
The team system in Match Masters is designed to add a layer of social interaction and strategy to the game. Players can join a team of their choice by scrolling through the Teams tab, searching for a specific team, or by using an invite link sent by the team leader.
When a player creates a team, they can set the team name, profile picture, trophy restriction and more. Once they are done, they can then create an invite link that they can share with their friends to join their team. Players can also leave a team whenever they want. However, leaving a team can be frustrating because it means missing out on weekly team events and stars. Therefore, if you are kicked out of a team, it’s best to find another one that’s right for you.
