Explore, admire and listen. That’s it. Uncanny. Relaxing. Unnerving. Eerie. Immersive. POOLS isn’t a traditional game. it’s slow, reflective, and intentionally uneventful, perhaps a bit like virtual museum. So take your time. Breathe. POOLS unfolds slowly, rewarding patience and quiet attention. No monsters chasing you or jumping at your screen. Yet it can feel oppressive at times by invoking quiet fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and the strange beauty of liminal space architecture. There's no typical story. But as you explore and advance further, you start to notice that the game's world changes around you, deeper you go… Rooms look and feel… different. Base game features six chapters, each lasting 10-30 minutes. Inspired by the internet phenomena Liminal spaces, Found footage and The Backrooms, especially the Poolrooms concept. One of the original artists behind the Poolrooms concept is Jared Pike.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: POOLS™ at 4.5 against Match GO!'s 3.9. POOLS™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 72). Match GO!'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Match GO! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
POOLS™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Match GO!'s written reviews are positive against 79% of POOLS™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Match GO! ships an update weekly, POOLS™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
