Hundreds of heroes with zombie-killing expertise

With its refreshing take on tired old genres, Puzzles & Survival lets you dive into a completely new experience as it mixes match-3 and strategy gameplay - then throws flesh-eating zombies into the mix. Now boasting over 30 million downloads globally, the game also features hundreds of heroes you can take your pick from to get rid of the undead infestation.

Numerous heroes each have their own unique skills. You can recruit them over at Noah's Tavern for some hero fragments, while starters can perform 10 Recruits free of charge to score some 5-star heroes right off the bat.

Halloween tricks...

A zombie survival horror game wouldn't be complete without a few tricks during the spookiest time of the year, so to turn up the thrills, a special locust-themed event is swarming over players' territories this Halloween. You'll not only have to survive the zombie hordes, but you'll also have to eliminate the deadly swarms of locusts threatening to destroy your food supply. Will teaming up with fellow survivors be a smart move to destroy those locust nests on the map for good?

...and Halloween treats

Of course, Halloween doesn't just come with tricks - the game also brings lots of treats for players this season in the form of an awesome gift code. Simply redeem the gift pack "pnslocust" and score 200 Diamonds, three 10-min Build Speedup items, three 10-min Training Speedup items, three 10-min Research Speedup items, and Antiserum*2000 - no strings attached.

With that kind of in-game support, the zombie apocalypse doesn't sound so bad, does it? All you really need is your survival instinct - and your match-3 expertise, of course - and you'll breeze through those hordes like a boss. If you think you're ready, Puzzles & Survival is available to download on the App Store and on Google Play as a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
