Royal Match Space Mission Event Guide: How to Clear Every Stage

To clear stages and collect milestone chests in the Royal Match Space Mission event, prioritize consecutive wins to maintain pre-spawned board bonuses, match near the bottom of the board to trigger cascades, and pair Light Balls with secondary boosters.

How the Space Mission Event Works

The Space Mission is a timed progression challenge where clearing puzzle levels advances your craft toward milestone reward chests. Progress counts only on uncompleted main levels or Royal League rounds; previously completed stages cannot be replayed for event credit.

Each milestone tier grants rewards such as coins, reserve boosters, and unlimited lives. Because failing a level resets active win-streak perks and stalls your progress toward the next chest, the primary requirement is clearing each board on your first attempt.

Protecting Win-Streak Bonuses

Entering a level with an active streak bonus—such as Butler's Gift or a Super Light Ball—pre-loads your starting board with free Rockets, TNT, and Light Balls. These starting power-ups provide immediate advantages:

• Turn-One Clearing: Clear perimeter barriers like mailboxes, chains, and crates before spending standard moves.
• Open Grid Space: Detonating pre-spawned explosives creates room for falling tiles, increasing the chances of generating natural booster matches.
• Move Efficiency: Clearing opening blockers early leaves a higher margin of safety for late-stage targets.

If your opening board layout is heavily locked or lacks viable initial moves, exit the level before making your first action. Exiting before interacting with any tile preserves your lives and keeps your active win-streak bonuses intact.

Board Management and Obstacle Strategy

Clearing multi-layered obstacles requires managing the board from the bottom up. Matches made lower on the grid drop more columns, triggering passive cascades that clear upper tiles without using extra turns.

High-Impact Booster Combinations

Basic three-tile matches are insufficient for clearing complex Space Mission boards within tight move limits. Form and combine adjacent power-ups to clear large portions of the board at once:

1. Light Ball + Rocket: Turns every tile sharing the Rocket's color into a Rocket that fires across rows and columns. Use this to clear broad barrier lines and satisfy large collection requirements in one turn.
2. Light Ball + TNT: Replaces all tiles of that color with TNT barrels and detonates them simultaneously. This clears heavily fortified centers and creates space on crowded boards.
3. Double Light Ball: Clears every standard tile currently on the screen and removes one layer from every obstacle on the board.

Resource Deployment on Critical Turns

Reserve tools should be used defensively to protect your event momentum rather than spent casually on early turns:

• In-Stage Tools: Keep the Royal Hammer, Arrow, Cannon, and Jester Hat in reserve for rounds where one or two blockers remain and standard moves are exhausted. Because these tools do not consume turns, they allow you to secure a win without taking a loss.
• Extra Moves for Coins: If an otherwise winning board runs out of turns and five extra moves guarantee a stage clear, spend the coins. Rebuilding a lost win streak across multiple rounds costs more resources and time than purchasing the continuation to protect your Space Mission progress.
