About

Shape Box!

Features
Read full description

This is Shape Box! A game that combines both logic and skill, where your mission is to unscrew shapes from the cube’s surfaces, clean them up, and put the pieces in place. Sounds easy? Think again! Rotate the cube, tap on the screws, and watch the shapes fall. Your goal is to remove all the shapes from each surface, clearing the cube. But that's not all! Once it’s cleared, you must fit new shapes into the empty spaces to complete the cube! Challenging levels in different themes: Every new level introduces new shapes and challenges. As you advance through the levels, face increasingly complex puzzles that will test your skills.

WordThis turns a rain of falling blocks into a word hunt: every block that lands carries a letter. Place the pieces, trace words through neighbouring letters with your finger, charge the power bar and blast full rows! HOW TO PLAY • Blocks rain down — rotate, move, place. • Drag across neighbouring letters (8 directions) to trace words. • Every valid word scores; longer words charge the power bar. • When the power bar hits green, full rows explode and the board breathes. • Higher levels demand longer words — the pressure keeps building. ARCADE STAGES • Three stages, 20 hands each — a fixed set of pieces and a board to clear. • Aim and fire each piece, then use the grace window to sweep the board. • Leave 0–3 cells standing for 3 stars; 180 stars in all. • Bomb blocks chain across the board when a word or a row sets one off. TURN-BASED MULTIPLAYER • Match with a random opponent or invite a friend with a 5-letter room code. • You share ONE board: take turns placing a piece and hunting words on it. • 72 hours per move — play at your own pace, make your move when you return. • In-match chat, friends list, challenges and rematch invites. BADGES AND STATS • 52 badges: word hunting, login streaks, leaderboard stays, match wins and more. • Every word you find counts — badges for 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8+ letter words. • Fight for a spot in the public top-10 leaderboard of each language. MORE FEATURES • Turkish and English dictionaries (55,000+ Turkish, 9,800+ English words). • Guided training mode with 9 lessons plus a free sandbox. • Solo games auto-save — continue right where you left off. • Jump in as a guest, or sign in with Google / Apple / email. • Solo mode works fully offline. • No ads, no in-app purchases. The hint system marks the starting cell of the longest word on the board with a green dot — lean on it when you're stuck.
