How to Play
Our Save Halloween: City of Witches walkthrough will guide you through the basic mechanics of how to play and how various features work.
- Swap pieces to match rows of 3 or more. Click on a piece to select it, then click on the piece you would like to swap it with; you can also drag a piece instead of clicking. Pieces can only be moved if there’s a match of 3 or more to be made. Once a match of three or more has been made, those pieces will be removed from the board. Pieces must be swapped with adjacent pieces and cannot be moved diagonally.
- Some levels feature colored tiles. In order to collect and/or clear these, you will need to make matches of three or more over them. Destroy all the colored tiles to pass a level.
- Match items over tiles to collect them. Tiles come in both gold and silver variants.
- Match items or use bonuses around cells with stone or wooden boxes over them in order to clear the field. Some of these blocks may require you to do this multiple times. If you’re not certain, click on the tile to check.

- Levels which contain golden skulls will require you to move the skull to the bottom of the board to collect it. Do this by making matches which drop the skull closer to the bottom.
- Spider webs will appear over pieces in some levels. To remove a spider web, match a set of three or more pieces next to it. You can also clear spider webs by using bonus items to blow them up.
- Spirits and spiders are capable of blocking cells, as well as multiplying. Match pieces or use bonuses next to them to clear them off the board.
