How can we help?

Version 1.1.10 improves automatic recovery of eligible earlier Score and Combo records into Global All Time, keeps in-game BEST aligned with the active profile, and saves new Combo records before Game Over. It improves gem, ticket, purchase and reward recovery, keeps guest progress separate, and prevents delayed account responses from restoring deleted data. Translated labels and VoiceOver descriptions are improved.

Routine game-account synchronization waits until Game Over or leaving for the main menu, including while paused or backgrounded. Online run preparation happens before play; explicit purchase backup and confirmed profile deletion can still complete during a run. A brief Preparing indicator may appear before a connected run starts. Guest play remains available offline.

Automatic-ad timing now stays consistent when the device date or time changes. New ad-availability controls and stability diagnostics help us investigate problems. If an ad still freezes, contact us with the approximate time, device model, app version, and whether it was a Quick Break, Game Over, or optional ability ad.

Backgrounding pauses your run while the app stays open in memory. Force-quitting during gameplay or an ad ends the unfinished run; reopening returns to the main menu and Play starts a new run. Eligible earlier Game Center records can restore to shared All Time. A saved Combo record can sync after leaving a run; the unfinished board is not restored.

Apple 1.1.10 supports English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, Traditional Chinese, Thai, and Hindi.

Open Settings from the main menu or pause menu, then choose Language. Select a language to update the interface immediately without restarting or resetting your current run. Your choice is saved after relaunching. The language list stays open so you can compare languages; Back returns to Settings.

Device Language follows the first supported language in your device preferences and falls back to English when none match. It refreshes when you return to the app. Traditional Chinese is supported; Simplified Chinese is not included. Emoji names and player names stay unchanged, while App Store purchase sheets and ad-consent dialogs use their own language settings.

Version 1.1.6 refreshes the main-menu progress cards, collection progress and next-discovery information, and Shop cards for gems, tickets, and the 7-Day Party Pass. Purchase options, benefits, and creator-code guidance are clearer.

Gameplay instructions, ability availability, and gem purchase-limit messages are shorter and easier to follow. Text fits more comfortably across languages, and iPad backgrounds keep their decorative artwork visible on larger displays.

Version 1.1.7 uses larger text in the graphics and streaming-quality settings, improves translated sound and vibration switches, and makes run-selection buttons and ticket benefits clearer.

In Choose Ability, translated WATCH AD and KEEP PLAYING buttons omit their icons to give the words more room. Long labels shrink only when needed to fit the button. English buttons keep their icons. Your selected ability and reward limits stay the same.

From October 1 through November 2 inclusive (UTC), Blink becomes Vesper, Imp becomes Pumpkin, Rage becomes Webix, and Luna becomes Boo Luna. The Rare and Mystery worlds and main-menu logo also receive Halloween artwork. These are seasonal looks for existing characters; your 15 discoveries and saved progress stay with you.

The theme is selected when the app launches. Relaunch on or after November 3 (UTC) to return to the original artwork.

Apple 1.1.9 and Android 1.0.9 include New Year character looks, seasonal backgrounds, and a festive main-menu logo. They appear automatically from December 1 through January 14 inclusive (UTC). Relaunch the app during that period to load the theme, or on or after January 15 (UTC) to return to the original artwork.

These are seasonal looks for the existing 15 characters. Discoveries, unlocked avatars, and progress stay with you; the theme does not add stages. Current store and website screenshots still show Halloween artwork.

Reach Glossy at level 11 to see sleepy eyelids and a gentle nod, then Prisma at level 12 for refreshed artwork and a flowing rainbow glow. Both animations are available year-round and pause with the game. Emoji Vault and discovery images remain static.

With Reduce Motion enabled in iOS Settings, Prisma’s aura stays visible but stops moving. The glow and sleepy animation do not change merging, scoring, or collision boundaries.

Clear removes emojis at levels 1–7. Levels 8–15 are protected and show a lock badge while Clear is active. Choose a highlighted eligible emoji, then tap it again to confirm. Tapping a protected emoji spends neither a use nor gems.

If the cup has no eligible emoji, Clear cannot be activated or purchased with gems. Existing Clear uses remain available for later in the run.

The cup expands when you first reach level 11, then again at level 13, and again at Luna (level 14) in Apple 1.1.9. A “Bigger cup!” message appears at each milestone. It pauses with the game and fades after play resumes. The larger cup stays for the rest of that run; a new run starts with the standard cup. In 1.1.5, the cup artwork and collision boundaries expand together.

Version 1.1.5 uses a thinner front rim and softer glass reflections to keep faces visible. Emojis that escape remain visible in front of the cup, and the run ends after the entire escaped emoji falls below the visible cup base.

Yes. On Apple devices, the game shows up to 100 players in the main list. Search players by name to find participants throughout the selected leaderboard, including outside the Top 100. Results appear as ranking pages load; allow the search to finish. Clear the search to return to the main list.

The number beside the people icon is the total participant count for the selected leaderboard, not the number of loaded rows or search matches. The YOU row keeps your own ranked result visible even when you are outside the Top 100.

A current, complete Top 100 list ends with “Top 100 shown” and “Search to find any player” when more participants exist. If a search cannot finish, follow its Retry or pull-to-refresh message. Switching periods or Score/Combo changes which leaderboard you are searching. Game Center and an internet connection are required.

Version 1.1.4 fixes the share sheet opening unexpectedly after leaving and returning to the app with the leaderboard open. Invitations open when you tap Invite Friends. If the issue continues after updating, tell us your device, app version, and what was open before you left the game.

Play on Macs with Apple silicon using keyboard and pointer controls. Aim with the pointer or Left/Right arrow keys, press Space to drop an emoji, and use Escape or P to pause and resume during gameplay. iPhone and iPad use touch controls. Version 1.1.3 refines Mac menu spacing and the placement of the cup and ability controls, with background artwork, modal dimming, and loading screens covering the full window.

Version 1.1.7 improves iPhone Duo menus, the playfield, and access to Settings and Pause as the display changes size. The expanded portrait layout uses more of the app window; the closed layout keeps its side status strip. Discovery backgrounds fill the app window during size changes, and the active run is preserved when folding or unfolding. Landscape modes may still have system margins around the portrait game area. For display or ad issues, include your device, app version, and whether you folded or rotated it.

Sign in to Game Center on your Apple device, reopen Emoji Merge, and finish a run. Apple 1.1.10 uses global Score and Combo rankings shared with compatible Android versions (1.0.9 and later). No extra registration is required. Friends comparisons remain in Game Center and do not determine global prizes. Earlier Android releases use separate historical rankings.

Connect before starting a new run to enter a Weekly or Monthly competition. A run started offline or before a season opens can update All Time only. A run spanning a season boundary does not enter the new timed season. Rankings use your best completed run, not a sum of scores.

Check Game Center sign-in and your connection, finish a run, and reopen the leaderboard. Pending completed runs retry when the game is active. The main list shows up to 100 players; Search players can find participants beyond it. Score and Combo have separate participant counts. The shared service assigns unique places: 1, 2, 3. Equal results are ordered by when the server received the record, with earlier records first. If retries fail, send support the period, result, approximate run time, and app version.

Global Weekly and Monthly top-10 finishes earn gems in Score and Combo separately. Each player has a unique Global place; equal results favor the record received earlier by the server. Weekly prizes for 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th–10th are 50 / 35 / 25 / 12 gems. Monthly prizes are 150 / 100 / 75 / 30 gems. Your first Monthly top-three finish grants one Golden Ticket per platform account across both categories. All Time and Friends rankings award no prizes.

Prizes are calculated after a season ends, with a minimum 24-hour settlement delay. New payouts can be paused during the transition; a season start date does not itself enable payouts. The Guide shows availability. Once enabled and eligible, the first shared Weekly settlement is October 27 and the first shared Monthly settlement is December 1, 2026, at 00:00 UTC. Open the game online or use Sync in the Leaderboard Guide to collect available prizes.

New shared rewards require Game Center and internet, without an iCloud requirement. Recovery of eligible old Apple rewards still uses the original Game Center and iCloud accounts. Old results and reward history are not entries in the new competition, and previously collected prizes are not paid again.

Competitions are organized by VELIAN Interactive LLC. No purchase is required. Rewards are in-game items with no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money. Apple and Google are not sponsors and are not involved.

Open Settings → Online Profile → Change Avatar. Discovering each of the 15 characters unlocks its avatar without spending gems. Existing discoveries count, and artwork follows the active season. In Apple 1.1.10, eligible previously uploaded Game Center Score and Combo records restore automatically to shared Global All Time. In-game BEST follows the active online profile; a new Combo record is saved before Game Over.

Gems and tickets synchronize only within the same platform account. Apple and Google accounts remain separate; subscriptions do not transfer between stores. Avatar unlock information supports the online profile, but does not restore the full Emoji Vault or an unfinished game.

Signing out of Game Center in Apple 1.1.10 selects a separate local guest profile. Its gems, tickets, records and discoveries stay on the device and are never uploaded or merged into an online profile. Signing back in restores that account’s cached or synchronized data. Signing out and deleting an online profile are different actions.

To delete, open Settings → Online Profile → Delete Profile, review the warning, and confirm. Deletion removes shared rankings, the online wallet, uncollected rewards and that profile’s cached BEST. Apple 1.1.10 immediately selects a separate local guest balance, BEST and collection. Deleted profile data is not restored by delayed responses or automatic sign-in. Subscriptions are not canceled. Interrupted deletion pauses shared submissions and can be retried; reconnect only if you want a new profile. See account and data deletion for details or help without the app.

In version 1.1.3 and later, open Shop, scroll to Creator Code, and tap Enter Code. Apple's redemption sheet handles eligible App Store offer codes. A valid ticket offer adds the items associated with that offer after Apple verifies the transaction. Code availability, eligibility, and expiry depend on the offer. A code is optional and is not needed to play.

If Apple rejects a code, check its spelling and the offer terms, including whether it has expired or already been redeemed. If redemption succeeds but items do not appear, reconnect and reopen the game. Contact us with the approximate time, offer details, and any error message; do not send account passwords or an unused code.

Yes. Tap +1 ABILITY / WATCH AD, select Merge, Clear, or Lift, then confirm WATCH AD. Selecting an ability alone does not start an ad. KEEP PLAYING closes the offer and returns to the game. Offers depend on connection, consent, and ad availability.

Completing the ad reward requirement grants one use of the selected ability. In Apple 1.1.9 and later, each run allows up to three ad rewards per ability and nine in total, including ticket and Party Pass runs. Spending or buying uses does not reset these limits; starting a new run does. A failed ad or one closed before the reward requirement is met grants no use and consumes no reward allowance.

A contextual offer may also appear when an ability has no owned uses and cannot be bought with gems. It names the exact ability before you confirm and shares the same per-ability limits. Gameplay pauses while the offer is open. Rewarded ads are optional in every run type.

In ad-supported runs, the first Quick Break becomes due after five minutes of active gameplay. Further breaks require another five active minutes after the previous ad presentation, with at most three Quick Breaks per run. Breaks wait for a settled board and show a brief notice. Time in menus, ads, or the background does not count as active play.

A Game Over ad can appear after at least 60 active seconds, including after three Quick Breaks. Automatic ads share a two-minute cooldown. Game Over uses an already loaded ad and does not wait for a network request. Ads depend on availability. Ticket and active Party Pass runs have no automatic ads; rewarded ability ads remain optional.

Starting with Apple 1.1.8, changing the device date or time does not shorten or extend the two-minute cooldown. The timer continues across app relaunches. Unavailable or failed ads do not consume a Quick Break allowance.

Open Settings → Language from the main menu or a paused game. Select a language to apply it immediately, or choose Device language to follow your Android preferences. A paused run stays paused, and your progress is preserved.

Choose from English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, Traditional Chinese, Thai, and Hindi. If none of your preferred device languages is supported, the game uses English.

On Android 13 and later, the game also follows Android’s per-app language setting. Google Play screens and external websites manage their own language.

Only levels 1–7 can be removed with Clear; levels 8–15 show lock badges and are protected. Tapping a protected emoji does not spend a use or gems. Clear cannot be purchased with gems when no eligible target is available.

The cup expands when you first reach levels 11, 13, and 14 (Luna) in a run, with a “Bigger cup!” message that pauses with gameplay. A new run starts with the standard cup.

Sign in through Google Play Games; no extra registration is required. Android 1.0.9 joins iOS players in shared global Score and Combo rankings across Weekly, 30-day Monthly, and All Time. Your nickname, selected character avatar, result, and rank are visible to other players. Basic gameplay works without signing in. Friends comparisons remain Apple-only.

The main list shows the Top 100. Search checks all participants in the selected leaderboard, including players outside that list. Each player has a unique place: 1, 2, 3. For equal results, the record received earlier by the server ranks higher. Seasonal prizes follow your final Global place. Your rank and next target appear in the main menu.

Weekly top-10 prizes are 50, 35, 25, and 12 gems for ranks 1, 2, 3, and 4–10. Monthly prizes are 150, 100, 75, and 30 gems. Score and Combo award separately. The first Monthly top-three finish gives one bonus Golden Ticket per platform account across both categories. All Time does not award prizes.

The first shared Weekly season starts October 19, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. The first full 30-day Monthly season starts October 31, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. Rewards become available after settlement, at least 24 hours after the season ends, when payouts are enabled. Open Leaderboard → Guide for the current dates, availability, and rules, then use Sync to collect eligible rewards. Historical Android-only results do not earn new shared prizes.

If sign-in fails, check your internet connection and Google Play Games account, then retry. An interrupted connection does not require another account. Earlier Android versions use separate historical Firebase rankings; update to 1.0.11 for shared competitions and correct loading of equal-result rankings.

Open Settings → Online Profile → Change Avatar. Each discovery unlocks the matching character avatar without spending gems; existing discoveries count. Artwork follows the active season.

With the same Play Games account, Android 1.0.11 restores the last synchronized gems, tickets and All Time records. Eligible historical Android records can recover automatically from the earlier online service. Stay online after Game Over to synchronize ordinary spending and earnings. A local save can resume an unfinished run on this device; reinstalling or another device cannot restore unsynchronized changes or its playable board. This is not a full cloud save. Offline spending on multiple devices reconciles to the server balance.

Signing out selects a separate local guest wallet, BEST and collection. Guest progress stays on this device and is never uploaded or merged into an online account. Signing back in selects that account’s cached or synchronized progress. Account changes during a round prevent the old round from setting another profile’s BEST or submitting its result.
