Spa City Sparkle

About the game

Spa City Sparkle is an original swap-and-match puzzle journey through Hot Springs. Line up three or more of the town’s six pieces (quartz crystals, magnolias, brass horseshoes, spring-water drops, coral fans and Ouachita pines) to clear them and let the next ones tumble in.

Bigger matches make specials, and specials can be swapped into each other for bigger effects:

• Four in a row makes a Cascade, which sweeps a whole row or column.
• An L or T shape makes a Hot Stone, which bursts twice.
• Five in a row makes a Spring Crystal, which clears every piece of one kind.

The 60 levels run across six worlds: Bathhouse Row, Hot Springs Mountain, Central Avenue at night, Oaklawn and the ballfields, the lakes, and Garvan Gardens. Each level has a move limit, three stars and its own goals: reach a score, collect pieces, break tufa, open padlocks, clear the mineral crust, stop the algae spreading, or deliver bath tokens to the drains. Clearing a world restores its painted postcard, and every win reveals a lore card with a real fact about the town and its source. Della, a fictional bath attendant, explains each new mechanic.

The boosters are earned with stars and never sold. There is also a daily Free Soak board with no move limit.

The game isn’t affiliated with any of the places it shows.
