DROPGRID

About DropGrid

DropGrid is a free online falling-block puzzle game you can play instantly in your browser — on desktop, phone, or tablet. Stack the falling pieces, complete horizontal lines to clear them, and keep the board from filling up. It's simple to learn and fast enough to get competitive.

Play a relaxing solo game, try Kids Mode for a gentler, slower pace, or jump into a 2-player online match against a friend or an opponent from Quick Match. Compete for a spot on the global leaderboard and share your best score.

How to play

• Move the falling piece with the arrow keys (or drag on touch screens).
• Rotate with the Up arrow, X, or Z.
• Soft drop with the Down arrow; hard drop with Space (or flick down on touch).
• Hold a piece with C to save it for later.
• Score big by clearing several lines at once and chaining combos.
• In 2-player mode, clearing lines sends garbage blocks to your opponent's board.
