Window Blinds

Adjacent Blinds will show a pattern, as shown here.

**Window Blinds** are minor Obstacles in Homescapes. They hide part of a column and preclude you from matching there. Make matches and explode Power-ups to roll them up and disclose what they hide. These can be Pieces, Power-ups, or even another Element.

### Tips on Window Blinds

* Only one tile can be revealed at a time.
* Rockets and Bombs work best on Window Blinds. Cascading will also roll them up faster.
* Sometimes, Window Blinds block Level Goals.
Birthday Week

## Birthday Week Event

Short seasons are different from the regular seasons, as they only have 15 stages ⏲️ Collect season points to get valuable prizes! 🎁

By purchasing a Golden Ticket, you will get access to all the premium rewards! Each stage of the season has a special reward that helps you pass match-3 levels 😉
Instead of special decorations and pets in short seasons, you can get unique perks such as a booster generator and an upgraded rainbow ball
Cat Houses

**Cat Houses** are Semi-Obstacles in Homescapes, and no, these Houses are not for the Cat. Instead, they have cute **Kittens** who will move to a nearby Cat House if possible once its is destroyed. Make matches and utilize Power-ups to destroy these Houses. Remove all the Cat Houses to collect the Kittens!

A similar Element is the Ball of Yarn.

### Tips on Cat Houses

* and  are the wisest to use to remove Cat Houses.
* Hammers and Sledgehammers cannot collect Kittens, but they can be used to eliminate nearby Houses.
* Cat Houses are immovable.
Carpet

Make a match with at least one piece sitting on carpet to lay more of it!

**Carpet** is a recurring element in Homescapes. You must spread it to every tile on the board/field. If the level requires you to, remove obstacles such as tiles that avert the spread of carpet so it's able to.

### Tips

* Create more power-ups; they will increase the spread of carpet.
* In case of obstacles such as chains and boxes, create more power-up combos, especially rainbow ball combos. Planes will also help.
* In levels where carpet is found on only one tile, try using a rocket towards that square (or activate the Rocket if given at the start).
* The only other booster that can spread carpet is the sledgehammer. Gloves can indirectly spread carpet too.
* In carpet levels with cookies, avoid rockets, rocket combos, or single rainbow balls.
* If carpet levels have cherries or donuts, paper planes will always target the latter first.
* Certain elements, such as chains or ice, will have carpet spread on to them if they are removed by a carpet match, or if a power-up on carpet removes them.

## Carpet Roll

Make matches next to the carpet to make it unroll.

## Carpet Roll

From level 856 onwards, you may find **carpet rolls**. Carpet rolls need to unroll before you can spread the carpet out to other tiles. The rolling mechanism works very similarly to the sledgehammer, meaning they will spread in all *cardinal* directions and stop when they reach a cookie.

### Tips

* These should be your main priority on any carpet level which features them, especially if there's no carpet to begin with.
* Remove them as fast as possible. Using power-ups may help tackle more than one at a time.
* Make sure a carpet roll is spreading carpet on an area that currently needs it. It should also be able to spread effectively!

## Trivia

* The carpet roll layers inherit the designs of the box's. However, the carpet roll only extends to five layers, while the box can have six. Thus, there will never be a carpet roll with a seal.
	+ The first letter is smaller, has a bright pink border instead of a dull orange one, the image is longer, and there is left-aligned text.
	+ The second letter is more vivid and has both the text and image centered.
* Normally, carpet rolls would just overlap cookies and not consider them as hindrances.
* For some reason, before Playrix scrapped Austin's wink at the beginning of a level, Austin introduces carpet before sliding out. He then paraphrases himself after. This means he he introduced carpet to the player twice.
* The carpet underside is inchworm, while the carpet itself is slimy green with a border of Lincoln green.

Indian Cuisine

**Bonus:** Above the Clouds | Flint's Adventures
**Team:** Team Chest | Team Tournament

## Indian Cuisine

### Location

Kitchen

**Indian Cuisine** is a Decoration Event in Homescapes where you beat Levels and earn Lotuses. Lotuses are used to decorate the Kitchen. You get rewards for reaching certain milestones.

### IMPORTANT

* All players Level 26 and up can participate! You can also earn event currency by beating Tournament of Champions levels.
* The event only lasts 11 days. Once the time has come—or if you purchase all decoration early, all remaining Lotuses will be converted into a maximum of two Boosters.
* Beating Hard and Super Hard Levels will not double the Lotuses you earn; only the Double Win offer can grant that.

## Collection Decorations

These are the decorations for the redesign.
Cobwebs

Cobwebs

**Cobwebs** are a minor Obstacle in Homescapes. They trap Pieces and other Elements so you can't use them, yet, unlike Chains or Ice, Cobwebs let them slip away. Activate Power-ups to remove Cobwebs.

**NOTE:** There has NEVER been a single Level with both Gravitation and Cobwebs, as they are designed for downward movement.

### Tips on Cobwebs

* Bombs, Rockets, and even the Sledgehammer remove a number of Cobwebs at once. However in Cobweb Levels with Cookies, avoid Rockets.
* Paper Planes cannot seek out Cobwebs in Donut Levels.
* Rainbow Balls and Plasma Globes also deal with Cobwebs.
Farm

The **Farm** is the 8th area in the Lake Cabin (19th area in Homescapes) and the area Austin renovates after the Lighthouse.

Cottontail Season or the Second Season of Wonders, is the new event, where you complete regular tasks to earn points. When you earn, a certain amount of points, you can get rewards. To get better rewards, you can always purchase the **Gold Ticket booster**, using real money ($5.99).

The main rewards for the event are a cute bunny family, and a bunny house too which can only be available for Gold Pass users
Water Buckets

Water Buckets

Bucket: Obstacle

**Water Buckets** are Semi-Obstacles in Homescapes. They are surrounded by Water (in a one-tile radius) in need of removal. To collect Water Buckets, make matches or activate Power-ups on Water. Upon clearing Water, the sponge squeezes it in. The bucket will collect itself once no more Water is present around it.

**NOTE**: Just like Oil, Water must be matched on top of, not next to.

### Tips on Water Buckets

* Bucket Levels may require several moves, just without cascades.
* Matches near the bottom may help as chances of cascades are higher, as so with the aforementioned notice.
* Rockets or Rocket combos are the fastest ways to collect Water Buckets.
* Water, similar to Steam, does not spread, but precludes the spread of Carpet. In that case, you must deal with Buckets first.
Steam

Steam

**Steam** is an Obstacle in Homescapes. Unlike Suds and Oil, it doesn't spread, but it averts access to Elements. To remove Steam, make matches and use Power-ups next to it. Like Rich Suds, Steam can have up to 2 layers.

### Tips on Steam

* All Boosters except Gloves work on Steam.
* Bombs and Rockets work best with Steam.
* Sometimes, Steam can cover Level Goals; use Power-ups if necessary.

### How to collect/remove

Deactivate and collect, remove Steam if any

## Cooking Pots

In some levels, Cooking Pots are present. They produce Steam to one of the surrounding 8 squares every move you do not hit them. The Steam can also stack, so you need to collect the Pots in time. Once the Stove has been turned off, make the final move and collect it!

## Trivia

* The level goal for Steam is still unused to this day.
Refrigerators

**Refrigerators** are Containers in Homescapes. You must explode Power-ups to open it. Then you can use matches and Power-ups next to them to collect Soda Cans. It covers a 2x2 tile radius. Each refrigerator has 6 Cans, and after you collect them all, it disappears.

Its counterpart is the Suitcase.

### Tips on Refrigerators

#### Boosters

* Rockets and Plane+Rocket both gather two Cans.
* Bombs collect 3-4 Cans at once!
* Paper Planes only remove one Can.
* Rainbow Balls do not affect closed Refrigerators, but work well otherwise.

#### Pieces

* If one piece touches the open refrigerator, you collect one Can.
* If two pieces touch the refrigerator, you collect two Cans.

Using and refilling lives

Lives are the attempts you have to beat levels. You can have a total of 5 (or 8 if you have a Golden Ticket 🎟️), and you lose one every time you fail to pass a level. It takes 30 minutes 🕒 to refill one life. Your lives also get automatically refilled at the start of a new in-game day.

You can see how many lives you have and how much time you have left until one is refilled in the top left corner ↖️ of the mansion screen. You can also use coins to refill lives or request them from your friends or teammates 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

❗ If your friend or teammate sends you a bonus life when you already have five, the maximum number, you won't be able to use it until you lose one of your current lives. Those excess lives will be saved in your inbox and you can save a maximum of 15 for later use.
Tips and tricks on beating levels

**Some levels are really hard to beat** 😡**, though none are absolutely impossible! Don't give up and be careful when creating your strategy. Here are some general tips for you:**

✅ Check the goals before the start of a level and try to match the pieces you need first in order to complete goals faster.

✅ Take a good look at the game field before starting 👀 and plan out your first moves rather than making random matches.

✅ Sometimes you should ignore the game's prompts — they're not always your best option. Only use them when you don't see any other possible matches.

✅ Try to make matches at the bottom of the field ⬇️ — falling pieces increase your chances of getting automatic matches.

✅ Try to make bigger matches so you can get better power-ups! 💣

✅ Combine power-ups to clear the field and complete the goals faster.

✅ Get help from other players in our fan group on Facebook, Instagram or Weibo 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

✅ Try to find a walkthrough of the level on our YouTube channel. It might help you beat the level! 😎

❗ Please be aware that access to Facebook programs and services can be restricted in certain countries or regions. In such cases, we comply with local laws and regulations.

Dorothy Doggylane

### Occupation

Qualified Veterinarian and Manager of the animal shelter Paws, Tails, and Whiskers

## Other Information

### Friends

Austin

**Dorothy Doggylane**, manager of the animal shelter Paws, Tails, and Whiskers. You can see her here with Snuggles, the cute little puppy, and Fluffy, the beautiful kitten, but each day, Dorothy looks after many more furry friends than just these two!

Dorothy is a qualified veterinarian, she even graduated with the highest distinction. She has an excellent understanding of animal psychology, and she works hard to help people who come to the shelter understand animals too.

Creatures of all sorts love Dorothy right away! It's a bit more complicated with people, though. She’s even tried going to communication workshops! But when it comes to talking about animals, she's not shy at all. If she thinks someone who just adopted a parrot might forget about giving vitamins to their new pet, Dorothy will call them even late at night.

Dorothy is the owner of an impressive pile of notebooks! One is for feeding schedules, another is for notes about supplements, and a third contains detailed information about every pet in the shelter. In five other notepads, she’s recorded her observations of animals.

Cute and cuddly pets are not Dorothy's only friends — she also knows Austin and his family quite well. But because she’s really busy at Paws, Tails, and Whiskers, it's not always easy to meet up with her friends. Dorothy has a great solution, though—she combines meeting up with friends with walking dogs. It's hard to say who is more excited about that, Dorothy's friends or her dogs.

Feathers

Feathers

**Feathers** are obstacles in Homescapes and the first elements introduced in 2022 (March 17, 2022). They move to any tile without a container obstacle on it.

Katherine Broom

**Katherine** is a main character in Homescapes and one of Austin's best friends. She is a botanist and floral expert by trade.
Katherine appears in Gardenscapes for a few events.

Pleasant, romantic Katherine is Austin's childhood friend. The two lived on the same street, which is why their mothers, Olivia and Stephanie, were close friends. The kids just followed suit.

Katherine is a bit younger than Austin: when he started his studies at the Institute of Modern Butlers, Katherine was still in high school. They didn't see each other for many years, and when Austin returned home, he met a totally different Katherine who was somehow still the same.

She has always been into plants, and especially flowers, so it’s no wonder she became a florist.

Her father was a geologist and polar explorer, spending much of his time away from home. Young Katherine would spend all her summer holidays with him at the scientific station. Her dad couldn't live without his minerals, while Katherine was fascinated by plants.

She treats people with patience and kindness too.

## Trivia

* It's never stated, but fairly obvious, that **Katherine** and Austin have romantic feelings for each other. Olivia, Austin's mother, tells Austin to ask **Katherine** out and Austin immediately blushes.
* **Katherine** is an adept seamstress, a good cook, and has some talents as a teacher.
* She knows Latin, as she translates a Latin cookbook belonging to Austin's grandmother.
* According to Austin, she's a few years younger than him. During a conversation between her, Austin and Patrick, she states that she graduated from the college not too long ago, which would mean that she's in her mid 20's.

Lao

**Uncle Lao** is a main character in Homescapes and Austin's first known uncle. He owns an antique shop and is keen on trading antiques with Austin and William, not to mention that he also enjoys playing chess with William.

He frequently comes over to do business with the Barrows, since they frequently have things they want to get rid of during renovation. He also periodically brings gifts.

## Trivia

* His name is derived from the Chinese word *Lao*, meaning old.
* When Uncle Lao was young, he went abroad, explaining his passion for collecting antiques.
* Uncle Lao wants to own a statue from the Hall in Olivia and William's Mansion more than any other antique (the right one).
* One glance at an object is enough for Uncle Lao to tell its value and age. A second glance gives him a clever trade-off strategy.
* Uncle Lao strongly believes in the idea of receiving by giving. This is why he prefers exchanging over selling—it maintains the natural energy flow in life.
* Lao's second biggest passion is tea, which he can speak about for hours! Every Friday, he hosts a traditional tea ceremony in his shop.
* Uncle Lao knows a lot about history, as he loves reading history books in his shop. This knowledge helps him discriminate an Ancient Roman vase from an Ancient Greek one.
* Lao's shop seems a bit messy, but he knows exactly where everything is. He even remembers when he put it there.
* Uncle Lao isn't particularly fond of the latest gadgets. He'll never give up the sound of a phonograph for a modern stereo system, however advanced it might be.
* In early versions of the game, Lao spoke with broken English. This was likely changed due to complaints of the depiction being racist.
Portals

When elements go through a portal, they immediately pop out in a different part of the field.

### How to collect/remove

Destroy obstacles hindering portals' transfer

### First Appearance

Level 41

**Portals** are special elements in *Homescapes*. They connect two separate portions of the field and only appear if there are multiple sections of the board or the level has many separate boards. Once elements enter a portal, they relocate to their corresponding opposite.

### Tips

* The  does not affect the portals' position, since it can only affect anything on tiles, not in between.
* Portals are often blocked at the start of a level

## Trivia

* The best alternative for portals would be painted doors, since

1. doors lead to another area from the one you are in.
2. quantum teleportation will not be possible until many decades, maybe centuries or even millenniums (a thousand years), from now.

* Yellow portals represent entrances, while blue ones are for export, so it is somewhat hard to tell which portals connect.
	+ However, the orientation of the portals can be a giveaway.
* Sideways portals only appear on gravitation levels.
* If a blue portal is on the column next to the one of a yellow portal and you make a match in both columns at once, any pieces above the piece above the yellow portal will fall two tiles.
