How to play Block Burst online
A free 9×9 block puzzle where every placement matters. Choose a shape, find room on the board and clear entire rows or columns to keep your run going.
What happens next?
A complete horizontal row or vertical column disappears and earns bonus points. When all three shapes have been placed, three new shapes appear. If none of the available pieces fits, the round ends.
Improve your score
Keep the centre reasonably open instead of filling it immediately. Long pieces often need uninterrupted space, so clearing a row early can be more valuable than squeezing a piece into an awkward corner.
Phone and desktop
Tap to select a block shape, then tap its placement on the 9×9 grid. Mouse input works the same way.
