homescapes

Garden-and-butler mobile game

Homescapes is a mobile puzzle game where players match colored pieces to earn stars, then spend those stars renovating a mansion.

The format—casual match-three gameplay funding a decoration or renovation storyline—defines a popular genre of mobile games.

The word also appears occasionally as a general term for domestic landscapes or home environments, though the game dominates current usage.
