The best games like Fishdom depend on what you want from it: the match-3 levels, the aquariums you decorate, or the cute fish. Aqua Match is the closest, because it comes from the same studio and pairs match-3 levels with aquarium decorating. Fishdom Solitaire keeps the fish and swaps the board for card puzzles, and Save The Fish! is a lever puzzle set in a tank. If you mainly want the “solve levels, restore a place” loop, Gardenscapes, Homescapes and Wildscapes are the same studio’s other Scapes games.
On the US App Store, Fishdom is published by Playrix and sold as a “Match 3 & Fish Puzzle Game”: you beat match-3 levels to unlock aquariums and decorate them as homes for fish and pets, according to its App Store page. It is free with in-app purchases, rated 13+ (frequent contests, a Loot Boxes label), 4.6 stars from about 1.15 million App Store ratings, and 4.6 stars from about 6.72 million reviews on Google Play (Everyone, 100M+ downloads, no “Contains ads” label). We took the developer, age rating, rating and update details for every pick below from its own store pages and checked them on November 14, 2026 between 09:40 and 09:45 UTC. Our lists of 12 games like Royal Match and games like Royal Kingdom cover the other big match-3 names, such as Candy Crush, Toon Blast and Lily’s Garden, so they are not repeated here.

Aquarium games like Fishdom
1. Aqua Match
Playrix’s Aqua Match is the nearest thing to Fishdom’s formula. Its App Store listing says you “bring your dream aquariums to life with dozens of adorable fish” by beating hundreds of match-3 levels with boosters, then decorating tanks in different themes, with events and tournaments on top. It is rated 13+ on the App Store (Loot Boxes label) and Everyone on Google Play with no “Contains ads” label, 5M+ downloads and purchases from $0.99 to $129.99 per item. It has the smallest ratings base here, only about 6,000 on the App Store (4.9 stars), and its App Store version 0.310.2 dates from July 8, 2026 while Google Play shows an update on September 23, 2026.
Worth it if: you want Fishdom’s loop in a smaller, newer game.
2. Fishdom Solitaire
Fishdom Solitaire is Playrix’s card-puzzle spin-off: you solve solitaire-style levels, then decorate aquariums and look after “talking” fish that chat with each other, according to its App Store page. Events in the listing include a treasure hunt for the “Black Corsair”, a Royal Tournament and Diamond Fever. It is rated 4+ on the App Store and Everyone on Google Play, with no “Contains ads” label, 5M+ downloads and 4.9 stars from about 28,900 App Store ratings. Its last update on both stores was August 21, 2025, so it moves slower than Fishdom itself.
Worth it if: you like the fish and tanks but want a calmer card game, with the lowest age rating of the aquarium picks.
3. Save The Fish! Rescue Puzzle
Mesiba Games’ Save The Fish! has no match-3 at all. The App Store description asks you to “use the different types of levers to control the aquarium” and bring fish “back to safety”, with different liquids, hot lava and flowing physics. It is rated 13+ on the App Store (infrequent cartoon or fantasy violence and realistic violence, plus advertising), averages 4.5 stars from about 24,700 ratings, and its version 2.8.5 is dated July 26, 2026. The listing shows a single in-app purchase at $4.99.
Worth it if: the fish tank is what you like, and you want a brain teaser instead of a decorating game.

4. Wildscapes
Wildscapes swaps aquariums for a zoo. Its App Store page asks you to “beat match-3 levels to restore the zoo”, build enclosures for animals and add cafes, fountains and playgrounds for visitors. It is rated 4+ on the App Store, with 4.7 stars from about 74,300 ratings. The catch is its age: the current App Store version, 2.4.0, dates from March 20, 2024.
Worth it if: you want animals to look after and a lower age rating than Fishdom, and you do not mind a game that has not been updated in a while.
5. Gardenscapes
Gardenscapes is described on its App Store page as “the first game from the Playrix Scapes series”: you make match-3 combinations to restore a garden, with “over 16,000” levels, expeditions and challenges against other players. It is rated 13+ on the App Store (Loot Boxes label) and Everyone on Google Play with no “Contains ads” label and 500M+ downloads. The App Store version 10.0.6 was updated on November 6, 2026, and our Gardenscapes guide covers its boosters and strategy.
Worth it if: you want a long-running story-led game from Fishdom’s studio, with a garden instead of tanks.
6. Homescapes
Homescapes has you “renovate and decorate rooms in the mansion” by beating match-3 levels, and unlocks new chapters of a family story as you go, per its App Store page. Its labels match Gardenscapes: 13+ with a Loot Boxes label on the App Store, Everyone and no “Contains ads” label on Google Play, 500M+ downloads. App Store rating: 4.6 stars from about 2.18 million ratings, with version 9.2.601 dated October 29, 2026. Google Play per-item purchases run from $0.29 to $199.99, the highest top price among the Google Play pages we read. Our Homescapes guide covers boosters and power-ups.
Worth it if: you like decorating rooms more than tanks.
Match-3 games with mysteries and hidden objects
7. Manor Matters
Manor Matters is set in “the mysterious Castlewood Manor”, where you beat match-3 levels, search hidden-object scenes and solve puzzles to uncover the manor’s secrets, then renovate the manor. The App Store label is 13+ (infrequent cartoon or fantasy violence, realistic violence, profanity or crude humor, mature or suggestive themes, horror themes and weapons), and Google Play rates it Teen with 10M+ downloads and no “Contains ads” label. It has 4.7 stars from about 217,700 App Store ratings and 4.7 from about 832,000 on Google Play, with an App Store update on October 12, 2026 and a Google Play update on November 13, 2026.
Worth it if: you want Fishdom’s level-and-decorate loop with a darker, mystery story and hidden-object scenes.

8. Mystery Matters
Mystery Matters follows an archaeologist and a detective in Gardenville, with crimes, secret societies and romance storylines, plus hidden-object scenes, match-3 levels and mini-games, according to its listing. It is rated 13+ on the App Store (frequent profanity or crude humor) and Teen on Google Play, with 5M+ downloads and no “Contains ads” label. It has 4.8 stars from about 34,000 App Store ratings, a notch above Manor Matters’ 4.7, and its App Store version 4.2.0 is dated October 29, 2026.
Worth it if: you want story and puzzles more than fish, and are fine with a Teen-rated game.
Match-3 games from other studios
9. Best Fiends
Playtika’s Best Fiends is a different style of match-3: you “draw lines over matching items” to build combos, collect more than 50 characters with special powers and work through “more than 10 000 levels”, according to its App Store page. It has 4.8 stars from about 309,800 App Store ratings, but the App Store rating is 18+ (Loot Boxes and advertising labels, infrequent contests), the highest in this list, while Google Play shows Everyone, a “Contains ads” label, 50M+ downloads and 4.6 stars from about 2.27 million reviews. The App Store version 19.8.0 is dated October 29, 2026, and Google Play updated it on November 12, 2026.
Worth it if: you want a big, long-running match-3 game with collectible characters rather than a home to decorate.
10. Angry Birds Dream Blast
Rovio’s Angry Birds Dream Blast is a bubble-popping puzzle game that its App Store page calls “relaxing”, where chain reactions open locks and beat obstacles across thousands of levels. Each month the flock works toward a “dream”, from building a house to becoming astronauts. It is rated 4+ on the App Store (advertising and messaging labels) and Everyone on Google Play, with a “Contains ads” label and 10M+ downloads. It has 4.7 stars from about 229,600 App Store ratings, version 2.12.1 dated November 9, 2026, and per-item purchases from $0.49 to $134.99 on Google Play.
