Austin adjusts his red bow tie with both hands beside a Match-3 board featuring Austin faces, mustaches, suspenders, and bow ties, framed in gold with a mystery silhouette.

Play a funny Austin Match-3 challenge, collect 10 Austin faces in 8 moves, and unlock the secret photo revealing his fictional old job.

For once, let’s leave the difficult levels, limited moves, boosters, strategies, and all the usual Gardenscapes problems aside.

This time, we created something just for fun: a small and simple Match-3 game starring, of course, Austin, the familiar face at the center of Gardenscapes.

The goal is easy. You have 8 moves to collect 10 Austin faces. On the board, you will also find some of the most recognizable parts of his look: his famous mustache, blue suspenders, and red bow tie.

But there is also a little mystery.

What might Austin have looked like before the mustache, before the suspenders and bow tie, and before he became the butler we all know? And what job did he have back then?

The answer we created is completely fictional and made only for fun. It is not part of the official Gardenscapes story.

If you manage to complete the goal, you will unlock a secret photo revealing our funny version of Austin before he became a butler.

Good luck — and do not let all those mustaches distract you.

After this little break, it is time to return to where the real challenge is waiting for us: the endless Gardenscapes marathon.

The difficult levels, limited moves, unusual goals, and all those moments that make us say, “just one more try,” are waiting for us again. At least this time, we are going back a little more relaxed — and perhaps with an extra smile.

Austin may have put his mustache, suspenders, and bow tie aside for a moment, but we are heading straight back into the game. The next level is waiting for us.
