Matchington Mansion mixes match-3 levels with a home makeover. Magic Tavern describes matching pillows with boosters and power-up combos to earn decorations for dozens of rooms, with thousands of decor items to choose from. A story with your friend Tiffany, a cast of quirky characters and a pet cat or dog runs alongside, plus hidden objects to find and a mischievous cousin to keep out of the house. You can also look at how neighbors have decorated. It is the only match-3 pick here whose US listing covers Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro, and it has a Google Play version. The reasons it ranks ninth are on the listing: 301,000 ratings at 4.3, the lowest score here, advertising and user-generated content flagged, and a 695 MB download. Coins start at $1.99 and the top list runs to $12.99. Matchington is a good choice if Homescapes feels too busy or you want to play on a Mac. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play through every level.
