Draw a line. Close the box. Take the board. Four Dots is dots and boxes on graph paper: the pen-and-paper classic, turned into clever puzzles and calm one-on-one matches. THE RULE IS SIMPLE Draw a line between two dots. Close the fourth side of a box and it's yours, and you go again. Some lines open the next box too, so every line is a choice: take the chain, or leave the last two and set a trap. PUZZLES • Chapters of hand-made boards, one level at a time: Third Side, Chains, The Double-Cross and more to come. • Every level sets its own goal: capture the boxes, win by a margin, or claim the circled ones. A bot answers every move you make. • Solve it on your own for three stars. Stars open the next chapter. • Stuck? A hint shows a line that keeps the level winnable. • Retries are free until you solve it, and the map keeps your place. DAILY PUZZLE A new board every day. Keep your streak going, and keep a shield ready for the day you miss. VERSUS • Play one on one against a real person at your level. No bots. • One board, one clock, most boxes wins. You both put in coins and the winner takes the pot. • Say something without leaving the game: hi, oops, nice move, gg. • Climb the leaderboard by beating people and keeping streaks. • Also: play a friend online with a code, or pass one phone back and forth. MAKE IT YOURS Board themes, line colours and backgrounds, paid for with in-game coins you win as you play. Four Dots has optional in-app purchases and rewarded ads that you choose to watch.
