Playrix Launches Manor Matters on AppGallery Following Previous Partnership Success
Following the roaring success of both Gardenscapes and Homescapes on AppGallery, Playrix returns with more delightful brain-teasing gameplay for Huawei’s growing audience. From 15th June onwards, Manor Matters, another popular game from Playrix, will be available to AppGallery users.
Manor Matters invites gamers to explore the old and abandoned Castlewood, inspecting and renovating rooms to uncover the secrets within hidden objects. As well as testing your detective skills and teasing you with an intriguing storyline, Manor Matters is designed to inspire creativity alongside its addictive-style gaming.
What inspiring is that Manor Matters brings exclusive gifts to celebrate its launch on AppGallery; players will be able to redeem gift packs from launch, containing 500 coins and 50 energy units. Coupons which provide a 70% discount [1]on the Playrix Basic Pack will also be available at launch meaning gamers can access more gameplay for less.
New gamers can experience a truly immersive Playrix experience by making the most of the offers available, using coins to jump ahead and energy units to run additional search scenes without having to wait for it to replenish. Both offers are simple to download and available directly from the Manor Matters page within AppGallery. For an even richer Playrix experience, gamers in Europe can claim additional Golden Ticket vouchers at the start of every thematic Season Challenge. Golden Tickets are not only available for Manor Matters, but also for Gardenscapes and Homescapes as well. Through AppGallery, users who have achieved level 30 or higher can purchase the Golden Ticket at 4,50€, a whopping 80% savings off the usual price of 5,49€.
“We are thrilled to have the chance to offer our well-loved Manor Matters game to more gamers around the world through our partnership with AppGallery. Having previously seen the successful launches of both Gardenscapes and Homescapes, we are excited to see the how Huawei gamers respond to the new gameplay options and look forward to hearing of their experience,” said Maxim Kirilenko, Chief Business Development Officer at Playrix.
Following the successful Playrix launches so far, with both Gardenscapes and Homescapes reaping the benefits of AppGallery’s expanding audience, fans of the well-known restoration challenges can expect to see much more in the coming months.
Huawei Offers Technology Support to Partners
As one of the fastest-growing global app marketplaces, Huawei’s partnership with Playrix has provided the strong operational support it needed for each launch – releasing both Gardenscapes and Homescapes within just a few months. Manor Matters is another quality example of how a game can leverage Huawei’s HMS Core, integrating with the IAP kit to ensure a seamless payment experience for both users and developers.
“Huawei’s support and guidance throughout the launch process and beyond has been brilliant. We’re excited to be able to launch another one of our popular games on AppGallery because of it,” said Maxim Kirilenko, Business Development Officer at Playrix.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
