PUZZLE FEST / 2026 ALL-DAY MATCH EVENT
Admit One / Puzzle Stage

Nickel Reactor.

Swap • Match • React

Enter a colorful puzzle event where every move can start something bigger. Swap adjacent symbols, create groups of three or more, trigger cascading reactions and complete each objective before your available moves disappear.

Program Note / Opening Act

Every swap changes the next move.

The easiest match is not always the most useful one.

Nickel Reactor fills each board with bright symbol tiles and gives the player a clear task: exchange neighboring pieces to create matches of three or more identical symbols.

Completed groups disappear and new pieces descend into the available spaces, changing the board before the next decision is made.

Falling pieces can automatically create additional matches, producing cascade chains that increase progress without consuming another move.

Each level has its own objective and a finite move allowance, so strong play depends on balancing immediate matches with longer-term board planning.

Festival Grounds / Four Zones

Remove Obstacles

Create matches around or through blockers to clear the required obstacles from the puzzle board.

Small levels. Big decisions.

Nickel Reactor combines an immediately familiar matching system with tactical decisions created by limited moves and changing level goals. Quick stages work well for short sessions, while harder puzzles reward experimentation, planning and stronger cascade setups.
