Block Puzzle Free Online: Zen Blocks

How to play

1. Three shapes wait at the bottom. Drag one to an open spot on the 10x10 grid.
2. Shapes don't rotate. They only fit exactly as shown.
3. A fully filled row or column is cleared and scores points. Clearing several at once gives a bonus.
4. Once all three shapes are placed, three new ones appear.
5. The game ends when none of the three shapes fit on the grid anymore.

Tips and tricks

• Keep the center open and build from the edges; otherwise large shapes won't fit anywhere.
• Use bulky shapes (the 3x3 block, the long bar) as soon as they fit.
• Avoid isolated single-cell gaps: only the small 1x1 square fills those.
• Plan the three shapes as a set and try to clear multiple lines at once.

About Block Puzzle

Block Puzzle is the relaxed cousin of Tetris: the shapes don't fall, you place them yourself on the grid, at your own pace. Three shapes are offered at a time; you place them one after another, then three new ones arrive. Complete rows and columns disappear and free up space. If none of the three shapes fit anymore, the game ends.
