Fireboy & Watergirl 7: and Friends is a cooperative temple puzzle platformer where you guide five characters through traps, switches, and hazard pools to reach the right exits.
Here's a quick look at the game:
What is Fireboy & Watergirl 7: and Friends?
Fireboy & Watergirl 7: and Friends is a browser puzzle-platform game built around controlling multiple characters in the same stage. Fireboy and Watergirl return as the main duo, but this version adds three extra helpers, so each room asks you to think about more than two positions at once. You run, jump, move across platforms, press buttons, open doors, ride lifts, and collect diamonds while trying to bring the team to safety.
The basic danger rules still matter in every level. Fireboy can cross fiery areas but must stay out of water. Watergirl can move through water but cannot touch fire. Green toxic pools are bad for everyone. The extra friends expand the puzzle side of the game by giving you more ways to handle narrow passages, vertical sections, and weight-based obstacles. The result is less about rushing to the end and more about setting up the room in the right order.
How to Play Fireboy & Watergirl 7: and Friends
When a level starts, look at the exits, hazard pools, and all interactive objects before moving anyone too far. Most stages work like small logic chains. One character may need to stand on a floor switch so another can cross a bridge. A helper may need to reach a higher ledge first so the main pair can continue. Progress comes from building a safe route piece by piece instead of pushing all characters forward at once.
Your main goal is to get the required characters to their matching exits. Along the way, you can collect diamonds, but finishing the room safely matters more than grabbing every gem. If a character touches the wrong element or falls into a universal hazard, the attempt breaks and you need to try the setup again. That makes positioning, timing, and turn order more important than raw speed.
You can play by yourself and switch attention between all characters, or split the controls with friends on the same keyboard. Either way, you need to keep the whole stage in mind. Watch where each platform ends up after a switch is pressed, check whether a door stays open or closes again, and make sure one character is not trapped after helping another. The later rooms become harder because they ask you to coordinate more bodies, not just react faster.

Tips of Fireboy & Watergirl 7: and Friends
- Check the exits first. Knowing who must finish where makes the whole route easier to plan.
- Use the extra friends to prepare the room before moving Fireboy and Watergirl into risky areas.
- Do not chase every diamond on the first try. Clear the stage route first, then look for cleaner collectible runs.
- Leave characters on switches only when the next move is ready. A platform in the wrong place can trap the rest of the team.
