About

Smart Bloxx

Every box you close relights a star. The constellations of the Dotverse have gone dark. A soft shadow called the Gloom has swallowed their light, and Quadot, a small star-keeper robot, needs your help to bring it back. Smart Bloxx turns the classic pen-and-paper game Dots & Boxes into a journey among the stars: dark, glowing and friendly, never scary. HOW TO PLAY • Take turns drawing a line between two neighbouring dots. • Draw the fourth side of a box to capture it, and you get another turn. • Several boxes in one turn make a combo. • When every box is taken, the most points win. QUADOT'S JOURNEY • 5 worlds and 40 missions on a galaxy map, from the Nebula Nursery to the Gloom Gate. • Earn up to 3 stars per mission. • Boards with holes, frozen lines and golden supernova boxes. • Puzzles that teach real endgame tricks, boss missions against the Gloom and a grand finale. • Every world you clear restores a constellation in the sky. QUADOT, YOUR GUIDE • A playable tutorial for new players. • Mission briefings and friendly tips during matches (tips can be turned off). DAILY CONSTELLATION • A new board every day, the same for every player. • Your first finished game counts; after that, keep practising. • Share your result card. • Three daily quests and a streak earn you stardust. ACHIEVEMENTS AND GAME CENTER • 34 medals to collect in the gallery. • Optional Game Center: leaderboards and achievements, plus challenges and activities on iOS 26. THE HANGAR • Spend the stardust you earn by playing on glowing line styles and new looks for Quadot. • Pick one of three app icons for free. QUICK PLAY • Play a friend on one iPhone or iPad, take on a robot, or watch two robots play each other. • Three difficulty levels with ever-changing symmetric board shapes. • Five opponent strengths across the game, from a dozy Shadeling to the Gloom, which knows real endgame strategy. MORE TO DISCOVER • Siri and Shortcuts: start the Daily Constellation, continue your journey or begin a quick match. • A Daily Constellation widget for your Home Screen and an optional daily reminder. • Glowing nebulas, constellation effects and haptic feedback. • Accessibility: VoiceOver on Quadot's Journey, very large text sizes and Reduce Motion throughout. • Available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. FOR PARENTS • No ads, no tracking, no analytics and no in-app purchases. • No account needed: Smart Bloxx is fully playable offline. • Progress stays local unless you enable optional iCloud sync. Game Center is optional. • Play on iPhone and iPad, with portrait and landscape layouts on iPad. • Optional iCloud sync: take your completed progress, stars, stardust and Hangar items to your other devices. Active matches stay on their device.
