Puzzles & Survival

Strategy with a Match-3 Battle System

Puzzles & Survival is a mobile strategy game from 37GAMES that combines post-apocalyptic base management with match-3 combat. It suits players who want more than a conventional city builder, but still enjoy upgrading buildings, gathering resources and developing a growing team of heroes.

Build and Protect Your Sanctuary

Your main base acts as a shelter for survivors and a centre for long-term progress. You can construct and improve facilities, manage supplies and expand your military strength. Upgrades and research give the game a steady management layer, while the zombie setting provides a clear reason to keep improving your settlement.

Match Tiles to Fight

Combat uses a coloured tile grid rather than a fully automatic battle screen. Matching tiles lets your team attack, and the puzzle choices affect how you handle each encounter. Heroes add another layer to battles through different abilities and team roles, so building a suitable squad matters alongside improving its overall power.

Heroes, Alliances and Player Reception

Recruitable heroes connect the puzzle and strategy systems, offering combat skills as well as benefits that support your wider base. Alliances provide a social side to the game, helping players cooperate and compete in a shared world. With a 4.49/5 rating from 339,409 reviews and 10,000,000+ installs, the game has attracted a large Android audience. It is best suited to players comfortable with ongoing upgrades, resource planning and regular strategic decisions.
