Match 3 tiles to clear the board and collect 101 pop-art characters. No timer. Triple Friends is part tile match puzzle, part character collection: every level you beat unlocks a new quirky friend, and with nothing counting down, you can play at your own pace. How to Play 1. Tap any tile that isn't covered by another tile to move it into the 7-slot tray at the bottom. 2. Gather 3 tiles with the same picture in the tray and they clear automatically. 3. Empty the board before the tray fills up to win the level. 4. Every tile you pick up reveals what was hiding underneath. Planning your next move is where the real puzzle begins. Easy to learn, tricky to master, and every level is a new layout to figure out. Collect 101 Character Friends Taco Alpaca, Pizza Raccoon, Burger Penguin, Crown Frog, Wizard Puppy, and 96 more oddballs are waiting to be found. Clear a level and a new friend moves into your Hideout. Browse your collection across 7 stages and pick a favorite to represent you. Pop-Art Style Bold black outlines, punchy colors, and chunky drop shadows give every character and screen a look that's all its own. Half the fun of collecting them is just looking at them. A Story That Unfolds Stage by Stage It begins with a prologue: your friends need rescuing from Monkeyon, a mischievous troublemaker, and you're the one to do it. From First Meeting to Starlight Finale, 7 stages introduce a new friend at every level. 100-Level Campaign Boards are stacked into shapes you can read at a glance: a heart, a watermelon, a flower, a butterfly, a fish, a crown. Layers get deeper as you go, and face-down hidden piles keep you guessing. Chain matches into combos to earn a 3-star clear, and watch for the hard gate levels that put your skills to the test. Daily Challenge A fresh board every day. Warm up on an easy board, then take on the hard one right after. You get 5 tries per day, and the board shapes rotate so the layout changes from day to day. 9 Tile Skin Themes to Collect Camping, music, travel, weather, dinosaurs, jewels, candy, sports, and cat accessories. Gather all 16 pieces of a set to complete it, then swap in the new tile art for a fresh look. No Timer, No Rush Nothing is counting down. Play a board on a coffee break or before bed, at whatever pace feels right. A brain teaser without the pressure. 4 Boosters for When You're Stuck Take Out moves a tile out of the tray for a moment, Undo takes back your last move, Shuffle rearranges the board, and Magnet pulls 3 matching tiles together at once. 7-Day Login Rewards Check in every day for coins, boosters, and hearts, with a special bundle waiting on day 7. Original Art, Made for This Game All 101 characters, the backdrops that change with each stage, and the 3D tile art were created just for Triple Friends. Perfect For Fans of tile matching games, matching pairs, and casual brain puzzles. Collectors who love unlocking cute characters and filling out a collection. Anyone who wants a relaxing puzzle game with no time pressure, or a quick brain workout on a commute or during a short break. Tap your first tile today. A new friend is waiting at the Hideout.
