Purble Place is an aged set of three classic games preinstalled with the Windows Vista operating system. The gameplay is basic but fun.

Three in one

Purble Place is a set of minigames from 2007 that came included with Windows Vista.

Purble Place is a set of three small games that you can access from a menu, with each one appearing as its own specialized shop or school. The titles are 'Purble Pairs,' 'Comfy Cakes,' and 'Purble Shop' which all feature their own take on classics.

The style that the program presents itself in is charming thanks to its wacky cartoonish style of characters and buildings. The cakes in 'Comfy Cakes' look delicious yet oddly absurd compared to similar games where you design or match baked confectionery as well.

'Purble Pairs' is the software’s take on the classic game of match two, where your goal is to clear a field of cards by revealing two of a kind on the same turn.

However, Purble Place is an extremely basic game that redesigns fun yet straightforward gameplay under its cutesy charm. 'Purble Shop' is one of the more challenging games that challenge you as you progress.

Where can you run this program?

Purble Place is available for Windows XP and up.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Purble Place is a Windows classic. However, Minesweeper is another game that used to come with the Windows OS, which provides an equal throwback feeling.

Our take

Purble Place is a fun set of minigames that originally came preinstalled with Windows Vista and is nostalgic to play.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you enjoy light-hearted games with no plot, then this is a great title to try.
