About Merge 42

Merge 42 is a grid-merge game: swipe to slide every ball at once, and two matching balls that meet merge into the next one. Easy to pick up, built to be replayed without ever pushing you to. 42 BALLS TO DISCOVER Every new color you reach is added to your Collection, with its name and a short bit of lore. The last one — The Answer — has to be earned. YOUR PROFILE, NO ACCOUNT Pick your nickname and avatar: your game history, best score and collection stay on your device, no account required. LEADERBOARD Look back at your best games and compare them with your friends'. COLLECTIBLE POWER-UPS From level 7 onwards, earn tactical power-ups to explode, move or swap balls, undo a move, sweep away small balls or drop a random ball. At level 10, choose to expand your board to 5×5 and keep your run going. FRIENDS, NO SOCIAL NETWORK NEEDED Share a code with friends to compare scores and unlocked balls, challenge them to a duel, or watch a live game — no account to create, no social network required. Fully optional: off until you open the Friends tab. RESPECTFUL, FULL STOP No ads. No in-app purchases. No account required. Nothing is sent anywhere by default — everything stays on your device, unless you choose to turn on the friends system, which only ever shares what a friend has agreed to see: your name, avatar, and scores once you're both connected, or your live game if you accept their request to watch. Available in French and English.

What’s new

Version 1.4.1 · Updated October 10, 2026

New: restart a lost game, three more items and a livelier home screen! • Lost a game from level 10? Restart from the last ball you reached, or from any ball saved in your Collection. • The Random Ball, Reverse and Broom join your arsenal: drop one of your best balls, undo your last move or sweep away level 1 and 2 balls. From level 10, the weekly triple gift always includes a Random Ball, and you see which ball you won; the balls you own are listed in your arsenal and in the game. • Your arsenal is reachable from the home screen, and each item unfolds with an animation. • Your game in progress shows on the home screen, along with the records your friends are currently beating, live. • Duel rematches keep a running score, and big scores are easier to read (1 234 567). • Friend cards use icons, the friends list shows up instantly, and the history can hide duels. • No more record pop-up every time you resume a game, and friendlier record notifications. • A more reliable friends list after a long stretch in the background. • Other stability improvements.
