The 35 Best Games Like ‘Candy Crush’

This game is called 4 Elements because the context of it is that you're using the magic of the 4 elements to restore life in an ancient kingdom, but you don’t need to buy into that to enjoy this pretty classic match-three game.

Like Candy Crush, Angry Birds is an addictive mobile game that you can press on, play, and enjoy at any time. Like Candy Crush, the concept is simple and it's fun to go back and replay levels to try to beat your own high score.

Doodle Find aesthetically looks like a match-three, which might draw you to it, but it doesn’t quite follow the formula of Candy Crush.

Picture Cross is a great game that uses some of the same technical thinking as sudoku would, but the aim is to paint the correct squares which will reveal a cool image. There are thousands and thousands of levels to get through, too.

This is a match-three game with an extra focus on testing your speed, something Candy Crush fans might be able to appreciate. The full game does cost money, but you can try out a good trial before you think about that.

Developed by Sirvo LLC, Threes! is a unique take on the match-three genre. Instead of matching items that look similar, here you're matching numbers that must be multiples of three. It does require a little more brain power than usual, but if you’ve mastered Candy Crush, perhaps it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

Toon Blast is pretty much your classic match-three game and is a good alternative to Candy Crush. What it does really well is its fun, colorful aesthetic.
