Pop Adventure, a levels-style bubble-popping game with a hidden treasure and temple theme, requires a player to clear away hanging bubbles in patterns and complete unique missions. While the player pops bubbles, they collect up to three gold stars and points. They also earn coins at the end of each level.
The player pops bubbles with a custom-swap, dual-projectile bubble shooter with a color-matched ring and an aiming line with a clear targeting bubble at the end. The bubbles only pop when in clusters of three or more matching bubbles. Additionally, the player receives tasks. For example, they must often remove other unpoppable objects from the field, such as stones, collect objects inside of clear bubbles like gemstones, and even rescue a dog.
Pop Adventure offers the player a guide to every type of bubble and object available in the game. The player can only see information about a new bubble or object once the game initially offers it for play. The most common tools available are boosters that perform unique moves, such as flame orbs that take out a band of matching and non-matching bubbles.
The game also provides other types of play, such as competitive events, a lucky spin wheel, and treasure chests. The player must watch ad videos sometimes to take advantage of these fun opportunities.
