Getting started in Gardenscapes

Gardenscapes blends match-3 puzzles with a garden restoration theme, challenging you to solve levels while designing your ideal outdoor space. Your success depends on careful planning, smart resource management and making the most of available power-ups to clear the board. These tips will help you get off to a good start.

Each level in Gardenscapes has a specific objective, from collecting apples to clearing grass. Always prioritise completing these goals over random tile-matching to avoid wasting your moves.

Power-ups like Firecrackers, Bombs and Rainbow Blasts can make or break a level. Combine them for bigger effects – pairing a Bomb with a Rainbow Blast can clear massive sections of the board in one move.

You can use coins to buy various items and assistance to complete levels. While it’s tempting to use them on extra moves, it’s often better to save them for levels where you're truly stuck. Buying extra lives or boosters can be a smarter long-term strategy, especially for clearing tougher levels.

Instead of making random matches, take a moment to assess the board. Look for opportunities to create power-ups or trigger chain reactions that can help you clear level objectives faster.

Gardenscapes frequently runs events and daily challenges that offer boosters, lives, coins and other rewards. Engaging in these can give you an extra edge.
