How To Beat The Minigame In Homescapes

Homescapes. We've all been there. Sucked in by the promise of renovating a mansion. But let's be honest, it's really all about the match-3, isn't it?

And within that match-3 madness, there's that one dreaded minigame. You know the one.

My Unpopular Opinion: It's Rigged!

Okay, hear me out. Maybe it's just me. But sometimes, those levels seem impossible. Like the game *knows* you need a rocket booster.

And refuses to give you one. It feels personal, right?

Tactic #1: Embrace the Chaos

Forget strategy. Just start swiping. Sometimes pure, unadulterated chaos works wonders.

Seriously, just match anything that looks even vaguely matchable. You might surprise yourself.

Think of it as abstract art. You're creating a masterpiece of random destruction.

Tactic #2: The "Stare Intently" Method

This is my go-to. Stare really hard at the board. Convince yourself that a power-up is about to appear.

It might not work. But hey, at least you're giving it your all. Plus, you look super focused.

Maybe the game will feel bad for you and throw you a bone. A sweet, sweet rocket-shaped bone.

Tactic #3: The "Sacrifice a Life" Gambit

Okay, this one's controversial. Sometimes, you gotta sacrifice a life to scout the terrain.

Go in, play a few moves, see what the level's all about. Then, deliberately fail. It's for science!

The intel you gather could be crucial for your next attempt. Think of it as a recon mission.

Tactic #4: Blame Austin (Always Works)

Things not going your way? Blame Austin. It's a universal constant.

He's probably messed something up again. He's always messing something up.

It won't actually help you win. But you'll feel better. Trust me.

Tactic #5: The Power of YouTube (a.k.a. Cheating)

Okay, I'm not proud of this. But sometimes, desperation kicks in.

Head over to YouTube. Search for a walkthrough. Watch someone else effortlessly conquer the level.

Then feel a mixture of shame and relief as you copy their every move. No judgment here.

Tactic #6: The "Walk Away" Maneuver

The ultimate tactic. If all else fails, just walk away. Seriously.

Go make a cup of tea. Watch some TV. Pet your cat. Anything but that infuriating minigame.

You'll come back later with fresh eyes. And maybe, just maybe, the game will have had a change of heart.

The Truth? It's All Luck

Deep down, we all know it. These minigames are largely luck-based.

Skill plays a part, sure. But sometimes, the board just hates you.

So, don't beat yourself up about it. Just keep swiping, blaming Austin, and hoping for the best.

Good luck, and may the match-3 gods be ever in your favor! Remember, it's just a game... mostly.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mansion to renovate. And a minigame to... tolerate.
