Match-3 Dates
Every date ends on a real puzzle board. Match gems in rows of three or more to raise the girl's mood before the timer runs out.
HuniePop — A Dating Sim Powered by Match-3 Puzzles
Meet the girls. Win their hearts. Beat the puzzle dates.
HuniePop is the acclaimed dating simulation game that pairs a classic match-3 puzzle board with a warm, funny story about romance. You play as a lonely bar regular whose life changes the night a pink-haired stranger named Kyu walks in. She turns out to be a love fairy, and she has decided that you are her next project.
With Kyu coaching you from the sidelines, you meet nine very different women around the city. Every date starts with conversation and ends at the puzzle board: match gems to raise her mood, keep her happy, and earn the coins that let you buy better gifts, new outfits, and useful boosts for the next date.
About HuniePop
Developed and published by HuniePot and released in 2015, HuniePop became one of the most talked-about indie romance games of its generation. It proved that a dating sim could be a genuine game: the match-3 dates are fast, tense, and genuinely skillful, while the conversations between dates are full of humor and personality.
The game is casual enough to pick up in five minutes and deep enough to keep you coming back. Each girl has her own tastes, her own favorite gifts, and her own reactions to the topics you bring up. There is no single right way to play, which is exactly why the game stays fun long after you have seen the ending.

Why Players Love It
Six things that make HuniePop stand out in the dating sim genre.
Conversation That Matters
Pick topics, ask questions, and hand over gifts. The girls remember what you say, and they notice when you are only half-listening.
Gifts and Outfits
Spend the coins you earn on dates to buy thoughtful gifts and unlock new outfits, each one tailored to a different girl.
Ten Unique Characters
From the quiet nun Momo to the punk rocker Candice, every girl has a distinct personality, look, and way of flirting.
Tense Timed Rounds
Dates are short and punchy. One round is perfect for a coffee break, and the difficulty curve keeps even puzzle veterans honest.
A Comedy at Heart
Kyu's running commentary is worth the price of admission alone. The writing is playful, self-aware, and full of running jokes.

What Players Say
I came for the match-3 and stayed for the writing. Kyu is the funniest guide in any romance game I have played.
The puzzle dates are genuinely tense. Matching gems while a timer counts down and a girl chats at you is a skill.
Ten completely different personalities means ten completely different playthroughs. No two girls play alike.
