Welcome to Pairgrove โ€” a sunny orchard of juicy tile-matching puzzles. Tap two of the same fruits. If you can connect them with a path that turns no more than twice, they vanish.

Climb 120 orchard levels across six themed chapters, from Berry Patch to Grand Harvest. Take on a fresh Daily Challenge every day and keep your streak alive. Clear fruits to unlock them in the Fruit Book โ€” strawberries, mangoes, mooncakes, dumplings, and more. Earn stars, chase achievements, and tune music, sound, and haptics in Settings. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Step into the orchard and start matching today.
