Glamorous Match-3 Gameplay Debuts with Trixie Mattel Launch Season and Charitable Partnership with PFLAG National

RuPaul’s Drag Race Match Queen, the new match-3 mobile game inspired by the Emmy® Award-winning franchise, is now available for download on the App Store and Google Play ahead of its official global launch on June 17, 2025.

At launch, players can dive into an exclusive in-game season starring drag superstar Trixie Mattel, unlocking iconic looks and leveling up through themed fashion challenges. To celebrate, Trixie is also spotlighting the game in her latest Get Ready With Me video—blending drag, glam, and gameplay in true Trixie style.
 
Designed for both fans of the franchise and mobile game lovers alike, RuPaul’s Drag Race Match Queen offers a fresh spin on match-3 mechanics:

 
  • Build Your Dream Drag Wardrobe with wigs, makeup, outfits, and accessories
  • Upgrade Your Looks over time by collecting and evolving fashion pieces
  • Complete Daily Challenges and Win Gag-worthy Rewards
  • Play Through Queen-Themed Seasons, each inspired by RuPaul and the most iconic personalities from RuPaul’s Drag Race


WHY: RuPaul’s Drag Race Match Queen brings bold self-expression to the match-3 genre, blending addictive gameplay with the fierce fashion and personality fans expect from the world of drag. With a star-powered launch, a unique gameplay approach, and a mission-driven partnership, the game invites players everywhere to match with pride.


In honor of Pride Month, the game is also proud to launch a philanthropic partnership with PFLAG National, the U.S.’s largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Through THIS special install link, the game (which is free to download and play) will donate $1 per install, up to $25,000, to help fuel PFLAG’s critical work.
