To play
Around the World in 80 Days turns Jules Verne's iconic adventure into a tile-matching puzzle race. Phileas Fogg needs to collect specific pieces to continue his legendary journey, and it's up to you to group tiles in sets of three or more to gather them. Every match brings him one step closer to circumnavigating the globe on schedule.
At its core, this is a classic match-three puzzle game played on a grid of colorful tiles. You swap or arrange adjacent pieces to create groups of three or more matching tiles, which then disappear and earn you points — and crucially, the puzzle pieces Fogg needs for his expedition. The challenge grows as the levels advance, with more complex board layouts and tighter requirements for the pieces you need to collect.
The Around the World in 80 Days theme gives the game a delightful sense of purpose and forward momentum. Each completed level isn't just a cleared board — it's a leg of the journey, another destination crossed off the itinerary. The visual style evokes the charm of classic storybook illustration, which suits the literary source material beautifully.
As a browser-based puzzle game, it asks nothing more of you than a mouse and your pattern-recognition skills. The gentle difficulty curve makes it accessible from the first click, while the later stages offer a satisfying mental workout. It's the kind of game that's easy to play but takes real thought to master.
If you enjoy tile-matching and block puzzle games, the Moving Blocks subcategory includes similar titles like Rise of Atlantis, 8 Planets, and Square — all of which share that satisfying puzzle rhythm of planning a few moves ahead and watching the board transform.
How to Play Around the World in 80 Days
Click on groups of three or more identical adjacent tiles to remove them from the board. Collect the specific tile types shown in your goal panel to complete each level. Clear enough tiles to earn the journey pieces Fogg needs and advance to the next destination. Later levels introduce special tiles and trickier board configurations.
Puzzle Tips
Before clicking, scan the board for large groups rather than grabbing the first three-tile match you see — bigger combos score more and clear the board faster. Prioritize collecting the tiles shown in your goal panel over chasing high scores. When the board starts to thin out, look for chains where clearing one group opens up another immediately below or beside it.
