November 5, 2026｜China’s Top 20 WeChat Mini Games by Popularity
Puzzles take fourteen of the top twenty spots, while last report’s risers reveal different paths after the climb.
Puzzles now occupy fourteen of the twenty spots, increasing their share of the list. Four of the five newcomers in the last report are still here, so finding a fresh theme matters alongside watching how long a game holds its gains. Revenue rankings can move sharply even when popularity rankings barely change; reading both lists helps keep useful comparisons in view. (November 5 popularity ranking · Previous report · October 30 · accessed)
On November 5, 2026, puzzles filled 14 of China’s WeChat Top 20, while some of the last report’s risers stayed high. (November 5 popularity ranking · Previous report · October 30 · accessed)

7-day best #1 · worst #1.Last 30 days: top 20 on 30 of 30 recorded days.(Ranking history · accessed)The order in which you choose tiles is the puzzle. Pick picture tiles from overlapping layers, place them in the seven slots below, and clear three matching pictures. Covered tiles become available only after the tiles above them are removed. A full holding area stops further moves, so matching pictures also means managing space for the next choice. (WeChat edition overview · Public screen · accessed )
Comment It ranked first on all 30 days. That steady position makes it a useful reference when comparing other puzzles. Look beyond the act of choosing matching tiles: watch how the filling tray makes the next choice harder. (Ranking history · accessed)

Its rise continued after recovering from a late-October drop. It is worth comparing for teams interested in how long a game holds its gains, rather than a brief jump. (Ranking history · accessed)

7-day best #2 · worst #5.Last 30 days: top 20 on 30 of 30 recorded days.(Ranking history · accessed)A competitive card game about emptying your hand quickly. Its core game, Doudizhu, divides three players into one landlord and two farmers. Decisions begin with choosing the landlord and continue through how cards are grouped and played. Players infer remaining cards from opponents’ plays, while the farmers also need to cooperate. The WeChat version’s introduction lists Guandan, Paodekuai and friend rooms alongside Doudizhu. (WeChat edition overview · Game guide · accessed )
Comment It ranged from second to fifth over the past seven days, while its revenue rank rose from 20th to 13th. Familiar competitive rules are holding their place near the top as puzzles take more spots. Compare how quickly a player can start a first match with the steps needed to join another.

7-day best #5 · worst #11.Last 30 days: top 20 on 30 of 30 recorded days.(Ranking history · accessed)Shake the pile and find three matching objects. This 3D puzzle asks players to clear matching food items and household objects piled in a bowl. Shaking the phone up and down performs a “pan shake,” rearranging the pile to reveal other objects. Emptying the bowl earns a goose. Themes built around regional food and everyday scenes, along with collecting geese, provide further goals. (Developer’s description · accessed )
Comment It is fifth now, as it was in the last report, but fell to 11th and returned in between. Comparing only the two endpoints misses that movement. When studying matching puzzles, look at how long it takes to distinguish overlapping objects and which scenes make mistakes likely. (Ranking history · accessed)

It fell from fourth to 13th before returning to sixth, so this was not an uninterrupted rise. Keep watching whether it holds this position after the jump. (Ranking history · accessed)
7-day popularity · Oct 30–Nov 510/30 #6 → 11/5 #7
7-day best #6 · worst #14.Last 30 days: top 20 on 30 of 30 recorded days.(Ranking history · accessed)A management game about growing crops, harvesting and expanding a farm. Players produce, upgrade and open new areas. The farm’s appearance and production efficiency change across repeated visits. Its official account emphasizes harvesting and taking crops from friends’ farms, and also introduces a crop collection and themed activities. (WeChat edition overview · Official account · accessed )
Comment Its popularity rank barely changed, from sixth to seventh, while its revenue rank rose from 51st to 21st. Revenue rank reached 14th on November 3. This is a reason to compare return visits for harvesting and purchases separately, day by day, rather than treating them as one measure. (Ranking history · accessed)

Public promotional images show layers of mahjong tiles and two identical designs being linked. Rather than exchanging tiles with opponents in a mahjong match, the game focuses on finding matching tiles on the board. (Public introduction and promotional images · )
Comment It is below the second place it held in the last report, but stayed in the top ten throughout the past seven days. That differs from a game that surges and immediately falls off the list. Compare how quickly spare space shrinks on the matching board and how clearly the next available tiles stand out. (Ranking history · accessed)

It also explained how time limits can be adjusted to player skill. (WeChat edition overview · Developer presentation · 2026-06-01 · accessed )
Comment It started tenth, fell to 18th, then returned to ninth. It stayed in the top twenty on all 30 days. Since arrow placement changes the choices without adding more controls, watch how clearly removing one arrow reveals the next route. (Ranking history · accessed)

Stages ask players to collect specified targets or clear obstacles, sometimes within a limited number of moves. Groups of four or five, or particular shapes, create special effects that can set off chain reactions. (WeChat edition overview · accessed )
Comment It fell as low as 20th during the past seven days but recovered to 11th on the final day. It stayed in the top twenty on every one of the past 30 days. For an enduring puzzle, compare not just the novelty of its first rule but how changing goals and obstacles let familiar controls pose new problems. (Ranking history · accessed)

The developer’s official introduction describes clearing all the bricks and constructing buildings for a hometown. Public screenshots show picture tiles packed onto a flat board, with helper tools below. The board itself differs from 羊了个羊：星球(Yang le ge yang: Xingqiu), where overlapping tiles are collected into slots below. (Developer overview · Public screen · accessed )
Comment It fell from ninth to 24th, then returned to 12th. Clearing tiles leads to changes in the buildings. Look at where the satisfaction of finishing one round connects with the desire to complete the next space. (Ranking history · accessed)

Comment It reached sixth on October 31 and is now 15th. It stayed in the top twenty throughout the past seven days, allowing the brief peak and the position held afterward to be considered separately.

Comment It fell from seventh to 22nd, then returned to 16th. Its path differs from matching puzzles that moved toward the top. Compare when the game shows the satisfaction of finishing a cleanup, and what goal it leaves as the player moves into the next space. (Ranking history · accessed)

Fourteen of twenty spots belong to puzzles
Seventeen games from the previous list remain, with three replacements. Puzzles increased from 12 to 14. Card and board games stayed at four, while survival strategy games fell from two to one. Farming retained one spot. (November 5 popularity ranking · Previous report · October 30 · accessed)
| Entered the Top 20 | 10/30 | 11/5 |

| 疯狂收杂物(Fengkuang Shou Zawu) | No record | 3 |
| 毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) | 37 | 10 |

The source places all three newcomers in puzzle categories, but their paths differ. 疯狂收杂物(Fengkuang Shou Zawu) stayed in the top ten on all six observed days, while 毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) rose to fourth before falling to tenth. 吃播大挑战(Chibo Da Tiaozhan) has records for only three days. Sharing a genre and entering the list together does not yet make them the same kind of success story. (疯狂收杂物(Fengkuang Shou Zawu) · 毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) · 吃播大挑战(Chibo Da Tiaozhan) · accessed)
Did the last report’s risers hold their ground?
不停找找找(Bu Ting Zhao Zhao Zhao) climbed 12→8→4→3→2, then held second place for three days. 益智闯一关(Yizhi Chuang Yi Guan) fell from fourth to 13th before returning to sixth, while 对子乐消消(Duizi Le Xiaoxiao) dropped from second to eighth but stayed in the top ten throughout the seven days. Four of the five newcomers in the last report remain in the Top 20. (不停找找找(Bu Ting Zhao Zhao Zhao) · 益智闯一关(Yizhi Chuang Yi Guan) · 对子乐消消(Duizi Le Xiaoxiao) · accessed)
毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) is now tenth, above its 37th place in the last report, but has fallen since reaching fourth on November 2. 偷上蛋快跑(Tou Shang Dan Kuai Pao) also climbed back to sixth on November 2 before falling to 26th, outside the list. Comparing only the start and finish hides the rebound in between and the recent decline. (毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) · 偷上蛋快跑(Tou Shang Dan Kuai Pao) · accessed)
When choosing games to study, pair those that held their gains with those that fell back, rather than collecting only the fastest risers. Play the same stretches and compare how the first goal is introduced, what feels achieved after a round, and what gives the player a reason to return. With internal operating data, first-round completion and next-day return can be checked separately. Rankings alone do not show that a particular ad or update worked.
The farm’s revenue rank moved differently
QQ经典农场(QQ Jingdian Nongchang) stayed close in popularity at 6→7, while its revenue rank rose 51→21. Its revenue rank moved from 48th on November 2 to 14th on November 3, followed by 16th and 21st. A steady popularity rank can sit beside a large shift in revenue rank. (Ranking history · accessed)
向末日开炮(Xiang Mori Kaipao) ranked fourth to sixth by revenue over the past seven days. 疯狂水世界(Fengkuang Shui Shijie) left the popularity Top 20 but held third to fourth in revenue rank over the same period. Dropping a game from the comparison just because it slipped a place or two outside the popularity list would lose this information. (向末日开炮(Xiang Mori Kaipao) · 疯狂水世界(Fengkuang Shui Shijie) · accessed)
Teams making farming or survival strategy games can compare rewards from short visits with goals that take several days to complete. Matching purchase timing against events, progression, and reward setups in their own data can narrow what to investigate next. Public rankings help choose the dates and comparison games where that investigation begins.
Scenes to compare in a design meeting
Before choosing a theme simply because puzzles took more spots, compare the moments that make a player stop or play another round. Games in the same genre can create those moments in different ways.
| Games to compare | Scenes to watch | Questions for design |
|---|---|---|
| Tile, arrow, and screw puzzles | The first choice, shrinking spare space or open routes, and the final few actions | Can players read the result of a choice in advance? Can a new layout alone make them think differently? |
| Puzzles leading into cleanup or building | Immediately after a round, when a cleared room or finished building is revealed | Does a short session leave a visible sense of achievement? Does the next goal spark curiosity without an explanation? |
| Farming and survival strategy | After collecting rewards on a return visit, while choosing the next growth goal | Are today’s tasks and longer-term goals both visible? When do purchases appear, and what goals come before and after them? |
At odd duck, we want to prepare our next ideas by watching the games that remain after a climb, as well as the climb itself. We are looking for games whose controls stay with the player after a round, with a goal worth picking up on the next visit.
