Overview

The Glitz Circus stole your audience, and your big top went dark. You are the Ringmaster, and only victories bring the crowds back: every battle is a one-on-one duel — after your move, the opponent strikes back. Match three to hit instantly. Four or five charge a hero’s signature act: stack them and unleash up to two per turn. A straight five summons the Ringmaster himself — he turns two tile colors into your heroes’ ultimates. Collect dozens of heroes in five classes — Fighter, Mage, Healer, Guardian, Trickster — and field a team of five, one per tile color. Poison, shield, stun, fear, counterattack, time bomb: effects chain into combos — weaken, mark, detonate. Hundreds of campaign levels await: multi-phase bosses, ice, chains and fog on the board, opponents that shuffle your tiles and freeze columns, levels with move limits and healing bans. Beyond the campaign — PvP leagues and seasons, plus the endless Encore Arena. Cloud saves, daily rewards, free in your browser. Curtain up!

Game instructions

Swap adjacent tiles to line up three or more of one color. Five colors — five hero classes: match three and the hero acts instantly (a strike, a heal or a curse); four or five store their signature act in the accumulator. Turn order matters: first launch stored acts (up to two per turn), then make your swap — the swap ends your turn, and the opponent strikes back. A straight five triggers the Ringmaster’s Entrance: two colors leave the board, and you get those classes’ ultimates in return. Watch the effects by the portraits: poison ticks every turn, a shield absorbs a hit, stun skips a whole turn, fear allows only a basic strike. Heal early, cleanse curses, and don’t match the cursed color on levels where it hits you back. Stuck? Boosters help: the hammer removes any tile, the shuffle rerolls the board. Complete bonus objectives to earn stars — they recruit new heroes. Level up heroes with gold, build a five that fits your style, and bring the opponent’s health to zero first.
