Guru Match 3D is a timed sorting game with match-3 elements. An extraordinarily talented cat named Bard needs the player's help at their theater to perform magic shows, put on plays, and host concerts. The player must sort piles of inflatable toys to collect specific ones for Bard. They receive coins, stars and boosters as their payment.
Each level features a pile of mixed inflatable toys on a table with seven empty trays below it. Common toys include animal heads, cake slices, waffles, strawberries, baguettes, tomatoes, spell books, cars, grapes, mushrooms, cupcakes and lemons. Bard and his tasks appear in the upper-left and center-left areas. The timer rests in the upper-right corner.
The game transfers any item the player selects to one of the trays. When the player selects three matching ones, the game removes the pieces from the trays and reduces the collection number on the matching task icon. At Level 12, the player starts looking for special items for specific events. Throughout all levels, they can also collect coins hidden among the toys.
Boosters eventually unlock to the right of the pile as well, including a magnet that collects a set of matching items, a paddle that reverses the last move, a hand mixer that shuffles the remaining items, and a bike pump that inflates the size of three toys. At Level 5 and Level 9, rocket and hourglass boosters unlock, respectively. The player can use the rocket to randomly remove unneeded toys and the hourglass to add more time to the timer.
Guru Match 3D rewards the player with coins and stars. Any win counts toward a level chest reward. All stars count toward a star chest. Each one rewards the player with coins and boosters. They can also win these items with daily bonus boxes.
