Homescapes is a popular casual puzzle game, similar to Gardenscapes and developed by the same company. Although it is quite easy for players either experienced or new to start playing the game right away, there are a few practical tips for anyone who wants to move further into Homescapes.

First, players need to understand the mechanism of Homescapes. It is a combination of puzzles, tasks and storytelling. Most players come to this game for its addictive puzzle-solving gameplay, yet it is suggested that they also follow along the tasks while solving puzzles. This is because finishing tasks can push the game forward and unlock new spaces/rooms. This is not only a matter of unlocking new visual features, it also gives players useful rewards through completing given tasks. However, players can skip the storytelling part if they wish, which would not affect their game progress and reward earning.

When it comes to the puzzles, one common mistake is to match randomly. In Homescapes puzzles, players are given limited number of moves to achieve their given objectives. Therefore, it is of vital importance to bear the goals in mind and plan before they take moves. Even when the moves are running low, players should think carefully before they decide to spend a large sum of coins to buy a few more moves. If the puzzle cannot be solved within a few more steps, players should simply start the level again. At the same time, it is also not suggested that players easily rely on the hints, which suggest random matches instead of strategic ones.

Besides, when it comes to game boosters, players should be careful about the timing of using them. There are three types of boosters. For those pre-level boosters, players should try to save and deactivate them in easier levels so that they can use those for harder challenges. Then, players can create their in-game boosters mostly through making combo matches. They should prioritize this type of boosters as they help eliminate more objects with less moves. The third type of boosters are the tools. Players can resort to those at the end of their level when they are certain that the puzzle can be solved with a few more steps.
