Hawaii Match 5

About Hawaii Match 5

Pack your sunglasses and head to a bright Pacific island where pineapples, coconuts and hibiscus blossoms fill the board. Hawaii Match 5 is a relaxing puzzle with thousands of stages, each one set against sandy beaches, palm trees and turquoise water. Every stage gives you a goal and a small number of turns, so a little planning goes a long way.

How to play

Swap neighbouring pieces to place at least three identical items side by side. They disappear, the ones above drop down, and you move closer to the target shown at the top. Bigger groups create special pieces, and lining up five in a row produces the strongest blast of all. Collect stars to reveal buried chests along the island path.

Controls

Desktop: click one piece, then click a neighbour to trade places. Mobile: slide a piece toward the spot you want with your finger.

Tips

Check the goal before your first move and focus on it rather than chasing points. Working near the bottom of the board often sets off free chain reactions. Save your boosters for tricky stages where only a few turns are left.

Good to know

Gentle, colourful and easy to learn, this one suits young players and grown-ups alike.
