Trioh is a minimalist colorful puzzle game built entirely around matching three. HOW TO PLAY Drag three color tiles onto a 9×9 board, rotate them to fit, and drop them into place. Clear a match by lining up three tiles of the same color — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in either direction. No swapping, no combos to memorize — just place, rotate, and match. WILD CARDS & COLOR BONUSES Watch for the star wild card — it matches any color and can bail you out of a tight spot. Clear more than one color in a single drop and earn a color bonus that multiplies your score. LEVEL UP Score points to climb through levels, unlocking new tile colors as you go — starting with 5 and building up to the full 12-color palette. Higher levels mean a busier board and bigger scoring opportunities. ACHIEVEMENTS & HIGH SCORES Chase 12 trioh milestones and track your best runs on a local top-10 leaderboard, with a global leaderboard coming soon. BUILT FOR ONE HAND Trioh is designed for quick sessions and comfortable one-handed play. Choose left-hand, right-hand, or both-hand controls in Settings to match how you hold your phone. No ads. No in-app purchases. No timers. Just you, the board, and the next trioh.
