Blockado Puzzle

Read full description

Blockado is the block puzzle that challenges you every day. Place pieces on the board, complete lines, and rack up points. Simple to learn, impossible to master. 5 GAME MODES - Classic: No time limit. Think, plan, survive. - Daily: A new challenge every day. Compare your score with yesterday's. - Blitz: Race against the clock. Every piece counts. Can you handle the pressure? - Catastrophe: Pieces rise in waves. Hold out as long as you can. - Challenge: Build your own board and challenge your friends with a code. SPECIAL BLOCKS Every so often a special block shows up: the bomb blows up everything around it, lightning clears a whole row and column, and the joker fits where nothing else can. SKINS & SEASONS Unlock skins by playing: Aguayo, Salt Flats, Amazonia, Wiphala, and more. On special dates the board changes on its own (Carnival, World Cup, Halloween, All Saints, Christmas). YOUR PHOTO ON THE BOARD Put your photo (or your pet's) inside the game. It stays on your phone only. COLOR WAVES Every so often every piece comes out the same bold color. You never know when it'll switch. BLOCKADO CUP Every month is a new season. Earn your badge: bronze, silver, gold, or diamond. REDEEMABLE CODES Redeem codes to unlock exclusive skins. RANKING SYSTEM Climb from Blue Rank all the way to Legend based on your score. DAILY STREAK Play Daily mode every day and keep your streak going. LOSE AND LEARN When the board closes in, the game shows you exactly which move cost you the game. REPLAY Watch your last game again, move by move. SHARE YOUR RESULTS Share today's score as an image card, in one tap. No invasive ads. No purchases required. Just the game.
