Top iOS Puzzle Games Apps

Market Insights

• •Arrows – Puzzle Escape (#1) has finally dethroned the long-reigning Block Blast! after its 57-day streak, which looks like a significant shift in user preference towards more narrative-driven escape room mechanics over pure block-matching.
• •The surge of Travel Town - Merge Adventure (+13) and Gossip Harbor® (#4, +4) suggests a strong, sustained appetite for merge games with town-building or story elements, probably because they offer progression beyond individual puzzle sessions.
• •New arrivals like Jigsawcard Solitaire Puzzle and Sand Loop indicate developers are testing hybrid genres, though user reviews for these often mention a learning curve before the gameplay clicks.
• •Despite the shuffle at the very top, consistent performers like Click X – Tile and DOP: Draw One Part show that simple, satisfying core loops with clear visual feedback still maintain a dedicated player base week after week.
