Manor Matters, from the maker of Homescapes, blends two casual genres. You beat match-3 levels with power-ups and boosters, search hidden object scenes in several search modes, solve logic puzzles and restore the rooms of Castlewood Manor, a house with ghosts and family secrets. Playrix lists thousands of match-3 levels, which tells you where much of the play time goes. The game runs without an internet connection, although downloads, updates and competitions need one, and you can join teams with friends. It ranks seventh for search-and-find fans because hidden object scenes share the spotlight with match-3, and because Playrix warns that it tests new mechanics, so levels and features may differ between players. Coin packs start at $0.99 and bundles go up to $15.99 in the top ten listed purchases. We compared documented features and published prices.
