The first "Puyo Puyo" appeared in 1991 for MSX2 and Famicom Disk System, and the following year, in 1992, Sega released arcade and Mega Drive versions. It achieved an explosive hit due to its simple and easy-to-understand rules of connecting four or more "Puyo" of the same color to make them disappear, cute characters, and its game system, which was the first falling block action puzzle game to introduce a Versus mode. Since then, the series has continued to evolve and expand across various platforms such as home consoles, PCs, and smartphones, enjoyed by a wide range of generations. Furthermore, it has gained attention in the e-sports scene, where professional players compete as a JESU (Japan eSports Union) certified title, with fierce battles unfolding both domestically and internationally. In 2026, celebrating its 35th anniversary, "Puyo Puyo" will continue to deliver the fun of "Dairensa" (Big Chain) to everyone! "Puyo Puyo!! Quest" retains the basic rules of "Puyo Puyo" while offering simple, smartphone-optimized controls different from traditional "Puyo Puyo," allowing anyone to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of "chains." The iOS version of "Puyo Puyo!! Quest," which launched on April 24, 2013, ranked 1st in the App Store's free app rankings and achieved 1 million downloads in 10 days (as of May 3, 2013). As of May 2026, it has surpassed a total of 30 million downloads and is enjoyed by many. 【Title Overview】 Name: Puyo Puyo!!
