Potion Explosion in IOS

Puzzle board game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

88/100

Potion Explosion is a rare example of a board-to-mobile port that actually improves upon the physical experience. The tactile satisfaction of the 'marbles' clinking together is perfectly captured through high-quality sound design and haptic feedback. The core 'Match-3 with a twist' mechanic is deep enough to require genuine strategy—knowing when to trigger a chain reaction to gather extra ingredients and when to drink a finished potion for a strategic advantage is key.

The AI provides a solid challenge, but the online multiplayer is where the game truly shines. The UI is clean, and the tutorial does an excellent job of teaching the nuances of the 'Fifth Ingredient' expansion. It’s a colorful, chaotic, and highly strategic puzzler that stays true to its tabletop roots while embracing the convenience of digital play. If you enjoy puzzle games with a layer of tactical depth, this belongs on your phone.

In Potion Explosion, you will explode ingredients, trigger chain reactions and gather it all in your caldron. You will then use your hard-earned unicorn tears, fairy dandruff and other magical ingredients to craft powerful mixtures with wacky effects! May the best wizard win!

HOW TO PLAY

At the beginning of the game, each player is given potions to complete with specific effects and ingredients. You will have to select ingredients in the dispenser; once your selected ingredient is removed, the ingredients above will slide down. If two ingredients of the same nature collide, they explode and you get them too! You can then use your ingredients to cook up your potions. You only have a limited tank space to store remaining ingredients from one turn to another, so choose carefully! Once a potion is completed, you score points, get to use its powerful effect and pick another potion to craft. The wizard with the most points wins!

In Potion Explosion, students of the Horribilorum Sorcery Academy must gather ingredients to craft powerful mixtures. By removing an ingredient from the dispenser, you cause others to slide down. If ingredients of the same color collide, they explode, allowing you to collect them all! Use your unicorn tears and dragon smoke to complete potions, earn skill tokens, and become the Potion Master.
