Guide colorful crowds into active swimming pools to ride matching floating rings. In Pool Party: Mirror Match, your objective is to select stickman groups from the lower waiting grid, sending them into the water to grab matching floaties dropping down from upper chutes. Precision and dock sequence management determine your success. Sending a crowd into the water without corresponding floaties clutters the pool area, blocking incoming swimmers and stalling the line. Navigate multi-colored ring stacks, mystery character blocks, and high-capacity wave multipliers that demand smart visual planning. Match every swimmer to a float to clear the pool completely.
