Our Expert Score
Matchington Mansion is a standout in the crowded match-3 genre, successfully blending the addictive nature of puzzles with a genuinely engaging home renovation narrative. Unlike many of its competitors, the game manages to make you care about the mansion's history and the cast of quirky characters, like Tiffany and your mischievous cousin, through well-paced story beats.
The gameplay loop is satisfyingly polished. The match-3 levels are vibrant and introduce unique mechanics at a steady rate, ensuring the challenge evolves alongside your design ambitions. What truly sets it apart is the depth of the interior design aspect. With thousands of DIY decorations and dozens of rooms to unlock, the level of creative agency is impressive for a mobile title. While some levels hit high difficulty spikes that might tempt a purchase, the game remains generous enough with rewards for patient players to progress without spending a dime. It’s a cozy, creative, and highly addictive experience that rewards both tactical thinking and aesthetic flair.

Some problems but still good...
Mon Jan 21 2019 Game Reviews are amazingYes the game is good and enjoyable but I wish that they would change the game so that getting stars to complete tasks would be easier, ie: make some levels worth more stars or make tasks have lower amounts of stars. Another problem I had was how much slower the lives regenerated I would recommend that you change the time to 5 minutes or so. Other then that that the game was quite enjoyable. Hope this helped👍🙃 Edit: One other problem I encountered was the fact that the price of furniture or extra power ups or the cost of continuing to play the is quite unreasonable because if you end up betting the level with ONLY 5 extra moves great but still you’ll probably get 10-30 coins in return for beating the level unreasonable. Also the fact that you only get 5 extra moves for playing a level is unrealistic if someone actually spends the 500 coins you’d think that you would get more moves because they probably need the moves I would recommend to give us something like 10+ moves. You be last problem would be the fact that the prices of furniture are fairly high. And I have one recommendation not problem but I would recommend that you put a tab for sets of furniture as an example if a bed, dressers, lamps, and floors/walls go together they should have a lower price then all of the items combined together, or just have all the items listed in one bundle. Thanks for reading such a long review once again hope this helped and hope the developers respond 🙃👍
Its a good one...until...
Sun Dec 02 2018 Gotta get gameI have enjoyed this game very much!! I love the ability to find create, and loved being able to see other people’s designs and then get extra “ideas and pieces” from them. The story is great and I like Tiffany’s character. I had a lot of fun, and high hopes for this game!! However, I can’t give this five stars, for a few reasons... This actually is a great game, and for awhile I found it to be great fun...but like ALL the other games that are fun like this, at a certain point they all get so hard, the only way to continue to play is to spend money. There was a bit of levels there where you could push through, just needed a little patience to find the game that could win, and there were also times when they had extra opportunities to play extra games to win help for levels. However, again just like other game like this (the “scapes” games, etc.) you aren’t offered anything extra for winning those tougher levels. I know my time with this game is becoming more and more limited and I am sad. I have enjoyed this game, and will be very sad when I’m no longer enjoying it because it will be so hard and I can’t/won’t spend extra money. I don’t mind spending a few dollars every so often, but I have come to realize it’s going to be too much. I also will really miss playing this game to see what’s next, but when everything cost so many stars, it bogs down, and the time it takes to work through things is less and less time worthy. If you want a fun game for a few months and then move on, this is the game for you.
Addictive Game Play
Sat Mar 09 2019 Steeverv73Matchington Mansion is very fun to play, but very expensive if you want to win consistently; game developers cld have been more generous in the coin distribution on level wins, with graduated earnings the higher up in levels you go, instead of the skimpy 10 gold coins (plus bombs) for each level win; realtor character is annoyingly chipper (she was probably a cheerleader in high school and never got over herself); villain is superbly mean, rotten, nasty and not EVEN nice; special characters are fun and inventive (loved the fortune teller); want to keep playing, but you don’t earn a sustainable amt of coins to continue playing without buying more coins to keep going; also, hate the limited number of moves for each level, as you are forced to spend coins to complete the levels because not enough moves are built into the level to complete it; it wld have been nice that, as the levels get harder and more complicated, more moves wld be made available to complete the level without having to spend so many coins; and, you don’t earn anywhere close to what you have to spend to recoup your expenditures; come on, guys, really? Are you THAT greedy? Yes, you need to pay your employees and make a living wage, but so do I! Soon, I will be unable to continue to play and explore the rest of the mansion, as I will not be able to afford to buy any more coins, and I really LIKE this game; so, to recap, more moves per level, more gold coins earned per level, will make this game even more enjoyable to play! Thanks for listening!!
Yes, yes splendid 👏
Thu Nov 25 2021 Crazy cookie safireMk, so a lot of people might be saying this is a money user. But.. I’ve never spent a single penny and I’d say im doing pretty amazing. The levels may be hard and challenging but would you really like it if it was just easy? I feel like there wouldn’t be a purpose to it, and it would get boring. It’s pretty engaging even though I have no clue if there’s an ending 😂. I would like if you could make and customize your own character. There have literally been almost no ads. And it’s never crashed for me in my life. This is an amazing game and people should be thankful for it. Like, oh no, it’s so hard well good you can’t expect everything in life too be easy! And they don’t FORCE you to spend money, you can easily just try the level again and perhaps pass it. It’s very soothing and I admit it can be frustrating when I lose, but it was designed to get harder. Like ANY GAME. And if there were any bugs before then they are all gone now. I’ve been playing this game since 8 and it’ll always be my first choice. So pls accept this game don’t be mad if something happens and it’s really a boredom buster. And if it gets way too hard, then your just gonna have to try again. It’s an amazing reminder of life getting harder and that yes, your not going to always get it on the first time and might have to try again.
Truly Addicting Puzzle Game!
Tue Apr 28 2020 Sgc909One of my favorite things about this game is that you can play it without making purchases. It’s harder that way, but I enjoy challenging puzzles. Some challenges are very easy, but there are levels you need to play again and again to pass them. Though it can seem impossible at times to get past a level without making a purchase, there is always a way to get through. Even when the initial set up and the first move is the same, the result varies a bit...which makes all the difference to the rest of the game. Having said that, there are plenty of ads. I’m finding this to be the case with most games these days. Since I appreciate the chance to play for free to determine whether I even like the game, I don’t mind as long as the ads aren’t too distracting. In this case, I feel like there is a good balance and that the game has a lot to offer. I also can’t begrudge the game makers from a chance to earn something from their efforts...which is why I usually do make at least one purchase when I find a game I truly enjoy. DEVELOPER SUGGESTION: Continue to make it possible to play the entire game without spending money, but make it increasingly difficult to do so. The first rule of platform building is to build your user base by making your platform free and packing it with value. I suggest also staging free events and putting packages on sale for $.99 with furnishings, extra lives, stars and/or game pieces that make winning easier. Enable people to skip past the conversational parts and focus on the game play. Don’t overdo the ads. You’ll make far more money if you feed people’s obsession without frustrating them.
My review
Wed Jun 06 2018 J. N. CI love this game it always keeps me entertained which is hard to find in a game. I like how you get to decorate each room how you want and there's quest that are needed to be done which make it even more interesting to play. On to the part of the game to earn stars, don't get me wrong it's really fun its different, like it's not only decorating but you also have this fun initiative part of the game where it's a fun. But for ME PERSONALLY when you get further into the game the part where you have to earn stars, gets difficult for ME and it's VERY challenging just to pass one of the levels and just to earn ONE star and I feel that sometimes I loose interest in the game because it becomes far to challenging to the point where I get Fusturated. I think they should make the level game easier because it's becoming a little bit overtaking of the decorating part of the game. They should make the star earning part of the game a little easier and also have people earn More stars and this would be an advantage because if this were to happen you can have all ages play. Making it more of a friendly game instead of a game making it more fusturating because when you do the level part of the game it tends to get more difficult for my age group and it would be delightful if it would be a little less challenging for the level and star part of the game. So over all the level and earning star part of the game needs to be less HARD because it's over taking the actual part of the game which is Decorating.
It started out great
Mon Sep 07 2020 yatsievsocIt was a lot of fun once I understood the game and enjoyed the different variations of the game. But, now it is just aggravating. I realize the game should get harder as you move to higher levels, but not impossible to win without spending tons of time and money. I have a life and things to do outside this game and enjoyed playing on my downtime, but now I just get aggravated when I finally win one after after working on it for a long time and used all my tools and think I’ll get a couple easier ones, only to find the next one says “Hard”! Well, what was the last one, easy? Uggg! You just want us to get so caught up in the game that we’ll spend money to buy the tools to win. It’s not as though this game pays anything out to us and I don’t mind buying a special deal for tools once in a while, but it’s too frustrating when every level needs tools. So, I just play less and less. If the tools (spoons, and things) were less expensive and rewards bigger I might get back into it. Oh also, why do you always only get one ‘Star’ no matter the difficulty of the level, but you have to use 1-5 stars for each decoration or activity on the mansion? We should at least get more stars for all the difficult levels. And, we should be allowed to store reward time when we win it, not have to use it immediately. It always seems you win time after playing a while and when you’re about done you win 1 hour, but can’t use it later when you get back to the game. Not fair. What a shame. This started out to be such a fun game.
Negative changes
Sun Apr 07 2024 Jah-GirlI’m really frustrated with getting furniture as a reward for other properties than the one that I’m currently working on! In the last couple of weeks I’ve been unable to get any furniture for the new property that I’m building. They should probably get the updates completed before they have any big events. I love the game, but my favorite part is the decorating itself, but I’m not able to enjoy that right now, because they don’t have any new furniture available. We should get more rewards for passing the hard, and very difficult puzzles!! When you get to a higher level you have to use a lot more star coins to get furniture, etc.! Sometimes it’s 5 star coins to get a single barstool, flooring, lounger’s, etc.! I’m praying it’s not going to be more expensive when I get to the next property, but I’m not holding my breath! You have to get through a lot of puzzles to get anything accomplished. I do choose to spend money playing this game, but I’m not getting anywhere close to my money’s worth since I’m not being credited with star coins even though I’m past level 10,000! They need to have better daily rewards and maybe a monthly membership that comes with benefits? Other games do! We used to get 300 coins with every 30 tokens we spent on furniture, but now we hardly get any very useful rewards anymore. I also wish they would have designs that aren’t a holiday theme, but a cultural theme, or an event theme like the Japanese theme, Tropical theme, etc.! How many holiday decorations does one person need for their mansion?? 🤦🏻♀️😊
