Triple Shelf is a cosy triple match game set in a little shop. The shelves are packed with things to sort: apples, donuts, rubber ducks, toy rockets, teapots, alarm clocks and dozens more, all drawn in a soft, chunky style. Tap any item at the front of a shelf and it hops down into the tray at the bottom. Put three of the same kind in the tray and they pop and vanish with a shower of sparkles. Empty every shelf before the clock runs out to win the level.

The tray only has seven spaces, and that is where the puzzle lives. Items in the tray line up next to their own kind, but if all seven spaces fill up without a match, the level is lost. Shelves are also stacked in layers: the items further back are dimmed and stay out of reach until the one in front of them is gone. Look ahead, take the item that unlocks the right one behind it, and keep the tray tidy. Quick matches in a row build a combo and earn bonus coins.

There are 200 levels that grow from a few items on three shelves to crowded walls with five layers and forty kinds of goods. Every tenth level is a hard level with less time and deeper stacks. Every level is generated so that it can always be cleared. When you get stuck, use a booster: undo, a magnet that pulls in a whole triple, shuffle, extra time or a freeze that stops the clock. Each one has free uses that refill every day, and you can buy more with coins you win in levels. No ads and no real money. The daily puzzle gives everyone the same shelves each day with its own leaderboard for the fastest time, and with a free TapNPlay account your progress follows you to other devices.

How to play

  1. Tap an item at the front of a shelf to move it into the tray at the bottom.
  2. Collect three of the same item in the tray to clear them.
  3. Dimmed items stand behind others: take the front item first to reach them.
  4. Don't let the tray fill up: seven items without a match means the level is lost.
  5. Clear every shelf before the timer runs out. The more time you have left, the more stars you earn.
  6. Stuck? Use Undo, Magnet, Shuffle, +Time or Freeze. Free uses refill every day.

FAQ

Can every level be cleared?

Yes. Each level is built backward from a winning order of moves, so there is always a way to clear it without filling the tray, and the levels are checked by a solver in our tests. Shuffle also deals the items out again in a way that can still be won.

How do stars and coins work?

Stars depend on how much time is left when you clear the shelves: almost half the time left gives three stars, a fifth gives two, and any clear gives one. Coins come from clearing levels, with extra coins for combos and hard levels. Spend them on boosters once the free daily uses are gone.

What is the daily puzzle?

Every day (UTC) there is one new set of shelves, the same for every player. Clear it as fast as you can; the daily leaderboard ranks the quickest times.
