Drag blocks to clear rows and columns. Endless high-score fun.
How to Play Block Blast
Modes: Endless · Daily · Relax
Block Blast is played on an 8×8 grid. Three blocks appear at the bottom — drag each one onto the grid.
Blocks cannot overlap. When you fill a complete row or column, it clears, frees space, and scores points.
Clear as many lines as possible. When no block fits anywhere, the game ends.
Rules
Fill complete rows or columns to clear them — the more you clear at once, the more points you earn.
Combos trigger when clears happen in consecutive placements, multiplying your score.
Scoring
| Block placed | size × 10 |
| Line cleared | 100 + combo bonus |
| Multi-clear | combo² × 20 |
History & Origins of Block Blast
Block Blast belongs to the block-clearing family that grew out of puzzle games popularised in the 2000s and 2010s: place shapes on a square board, complete full rows and columns to clear them, and survive until no block fits.
Its modern mobile incarnation added a three-block queue and combo scoring, turning a simple placement idea into a fast, satisfying score-chasing puzzle played by millions worldwide.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling the centre first; keep corridors and edges open.
- Skipping rotations that fit the current gap perfectly.
- Reacting to the current block instead of planning for the queue.
Tips & Strategy
Keep the board even — avoid leaving isolated single-cell gaps in the middle.
Save big pieces like the 3×3 square for when the center gets crowded.
Plan two moves ahead: think about where each of the three blocks could go before placing the first.
Clear lines in combos by placing a block that fills both a row and a column at once.
