What the game is

Cyrus stays calm in a checkout line, in a crowd, in a stranger’s arms. His game is the same: a quiet match-3 on a sunny beach, made for grown-ups who like an unhurried puzzle. Swap tiles to collect shells, hearts, starfish and goldfish. There is no clock, no energy meter and no lives wall, so you can play one level or ten.

Three things inside

  • The game board: rows of shells, hearts, starfish, goldfish and beach balls

    32 levels, four beach worlds

    Sunrise Stroll, Tidepool Discoveries, Boardwalk Festival and Sunset Reunion. Tide pools, string lights and wet sand change how the board behaves, gently.

  • A Warm Moment: a real photo of Cyrus on the rocks at the beach, framed in gold

    Warm Moments

    Fill the heart meter and you unlock a Warm Moment: a real photo and a little story from Cyrus’s life. There are five to collect, kept in a Memory Book you can open any time. Every one is earned by playing. None are for sale.

    Outfits, and a little brother

    Dress Cyrus in his bow tie, shades, beach hat or Hawaiian shirt, earned with shells you collect as you play. After your third finished level his little brother Dandy joins you. Tap either of them and he answers back.

A look inside

Meet Cyrus

Cyrus is a real black-and-white Persian from Newport Beach, California. Strangers can hold him, crowds calm him instead of spooking him, and his usual way through a crowd is on Sassan’s shoulders. He also does tricks, hands out kisses wherever he goes and rides baby swings. Cyrus and Sassan are a Pet Partners-registered therapy animal team, and Cyrus is the head ambassador of Cyrusmeowgreat, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to bring joy and comfort to children and families who need it most.

Get the game

Download on the App StoreGet it on Google Play

Free on iPhone and Android. On iPhone the game has no ads and nothing to buy. On Android a short ad can appear after some levels, never during play, and you can choose to watch one for a boost.

About donations

Cyrusmeowgreat is a nonprofit. If you would like to make a donation, there is a Donate button inside the game, and you can also give at cyrusmeowgreat.org/donate. Donations are optional, tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, go to the nonprofit’s charitable work rather than to the game, and never change the game.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes, on both stores. Everything in the game is earned by playing.

Are there ads?

Not on iPhone. On Android a short ad can appear after some levels (never during play, never on the menu or inside a Warm Moment), and you can choose to watch one for a morning heart boost or extra moves.

Is it for children?

It is suitable for everyone, but it is written for adults and is not listed in children’s categories. There is no account, no sign-in and no chat.

Do I need an account?

No. Your progress is saved on your device.
