Hoby Tales
About Hoby Tales: Fairy-Tale Match-3 Puzzles for the Whole Family
Hoby Tales is a match-3 puzzle game built around heartwarming fairy tales from childhood, colourful graphics, and tricky levels designed to keep players of all ages entertained. One moment you're rescuing a little hob, the next you're racing to win the Frog Princess's kiss, harvesting crops faster than anyone, or catching the most fish — the scenarios keep shifting and the goals stay fresh.
The game suits a trip, a quiet evening at home, or any spare moment in between. In-game teams let players find friends and allies to chat and play with. Developed by a Russian studio, Hoby Tales has found fans across generations.
A character with yellow hair in a blue polka-dot shirt appears across several scenes. One scene shows a green-skinned character wearing a gold crown and purple robes, standing in a dark forest setting. Another scene features a blue chest overflowing with white pearls alongside a white shirt with red hearts.
How to Play Hoby Tales: Match 3 to Complete Fairy-Tale Goals
Every level opens with a set of special goals displayed at the start and kept visible on the left side of the screen throughout play. Match three or more identical pieces in a row to work toward those objectives. Each level comes with a limited number of moves, so if you exhaust them before all goals are met, you'll need to try the level again.
Stars and Coins
