Combine like items to make new ones, and soon you’re on your way to unlocking secrets and making discoveries! The simple premise of merge games has made these play-anywhere titles a hit, and these are some standouts on the App Store that are perfect for whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

Where did your missing uncle go? You arrive to find his house engulfed in flames while a suspicious figure slinks away. Start merging items to rebuild the house and solve the mystery of this tragedy.

Are you looking for a relaxing trip to the beach? Then come to Tasty Travels! As you combine items to serve tourists and upgrade your equipment, the game will add more slots on your board – and reveal unexpected items such as vintage jewellery, life preservers and dining utensils to spice up your seaside experience.

The fun heats up in this game, which lets you cook while you merge! Once you’ve merged to make tomatoes, drag them to the cutting board to get a beautifully plated salad. By catering to your customers’ needs, you’ll be able to expand from your humble market stall to distinctive restaurants, including a gourmet cruise ship and a barbecue joint.
