Based on the popular animated IP Maca & Roni, the game invites players into a whimsical research lab where every match powers up wacky inventions and opens new puzzle possibilities. The title takes the familiar “match-3” format and combines it with combo-based invention building, where players can collect parts through consecutive matches to activate powerful, limited-time boosts such as enhanced bombs, multi-color blasts, and chain reactions.

“Our goal was to create a match-3 game that feels familiar yet delivers surprising depth,” said Sang Yoon, Vice President and Producer at FunkyVine. “With Maca & Roni Match 3 LAB, we’ve brought in layers of progression, quirky animations, and events that make every play session rewarding.”

At launch, Maca & Roni Match 3 LAB features:

4,000+ polished levels with new stages added regularly.
Unique invention system for customizing and boosting power-ups.
Special modes and mini-games that break up the traditional match-3 flow.
Seasonal events and challenges to keep competition fresh.
Full localization in multiple languages for a global player base.

Currently, Maca & Roni Match 3 LAB is hosting a special “Space Challenge” event, where the lab transforms into a spaceship-themed environment and players can take part in various space-related missions and events. These challenges reward not only high scores but also strategic play, as participants race to unlock exclusive in-game rewards, rare invention parts, and leaderboard recognition. The event has already drawn a surge of competitive activity among leading players, making it one of the most engaging updates since launch.

The game also introduces ongoing competitive elements, including leaderboards, time-limited missions, and community-driven content updates. Players can engage in bonus puzzles, unlock themed areas, and watch the animated duo Maca and Roni bring the lab to life with slapstick humor and charm.

“We’re excited to bring the charm of Maca & Roni to puzzle fans in the U.S. and worldwide,” Yoon added. “This is just the start – we have big plans for new modes, more inventions, and community-driven events in the months ahead.”

Maca & Roni Match 3 LAB is free to play with optional in-app purchases. The game is available now on:
