From the makers of Wizard101 for the PC comes WizardBlox, a puzzle mini-game from the hit video game Wizard101! WizardBlox is like the game you play in Wizard101 called Sorcery Stones but with a twist – In WizardBlox, you can earn codes for gold, potions, or other surprises to use with your Wizard101 character! Here’s how you play – touch and slide a block to move it horizontally left or right. Create matches of 3 or more blocks of a single color. Don't let the blocks reach the top of the screen or the game will be over! In addition to normal blocks, various special blocks can appear in the playfield. Pinwheels match any other block. Bombs count as a block of that color, and make a huge explosion when they go off! Jewels match any blocks like pinwheels, and also destroy all the blocks of that color when you make a match. Reinforced blocks must be matched once to destroy their reinforcement. Frozen blocks cannot be swapped around.
