How many blocks? Look again. Some blocks are in plain sight. Others hide behind the stack. HIDDEN BLOCKS is a 3D block-counting logic puzzle where the real challenge is figuring out what you can't see. Study the stack, picture the hidden layers, and choose your answer. Simple to understand. Surprisingly tricky to solve. ▣ TWO MODES. TWO WAYS TO THINK. ● Count All Blocks Work out the total number of blocks, including the ones hidden from view. Every layer counts. ● Find Hidden Blocks Count only the blocks you can't see. Look beyond the visible faces and imagine what completes the stack. ▣ SMALL STACKS. BIG AHA MOMENTS. Start with simple shapes and progress to trickier, multi-layer structures. Use spatial reasoning to work out each answer. That satisfying moment when the whole stack makes sense? That's the fun. ▣ A FRESH PUZZLE EVERY DAY Daily Blocks gives you a new challenge each day. Take on the same daily puzzle as other players and see how your solve time compares. ▣ JUST FEEL LIKE A PUZZLE? Practice serves up a random puzzle each time. No stars, records, or rankings. Warm up before a stage or enjoy another little challenge. ▣ HOW FAR CAN YOU GO? Solve within the time limit, earn stars, and keep moving through the stages. Compare your stage progress with players around the world on the global leaderboard. ▣ A NOTEBOOK FULL OF PERSONALITY Warm paper, blue-ink answer marks, and three playful block companions give each challenge a little character. Clean puzzle layouts keep the focus on the blocks, while the Cubie trio brings the celebrations. Enjoy logic puzzles, visual brain teasers, or number challenges? Discover a different kind of block puzzle: count the stack and imagine what lies out of sight. ▣ WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM Counting stacked unit cubes is a classic spatial reasoning exercise found in math curricula around the world — Common Core in the US, Singapore Math, the UK National Curriculum, and more. It trains the same 3D thinking that engineers, architects, and pilots use every day. HIDDEN BLOCKS takes that proven concept off the classroom page and turns it into a competitive daily brain game. There's more to every stack than meets the eye. #brain_training #spatial_reasoning #block_puzzle #logic_game #unit_cubes #3D_thinking #IQ #math_puzzle #puzzle_game #brain_game #hidden_blocks #casual_game #mind_game #focus #cube #counting #visual_puzzle #logic_puzzle #mental_training #block_counting

Stack blocks until their shadows line up. Every level shows you outlines on the walls — the shadows your finished shape will cast. Build the solid that fits all of them at once. Match every wall and the level is done. The catch: one unbroken line. Your first block goes anywhere on the floor. After that you can only grow from the face of the block you placed last. Touching the rest of your shape is fine — branching is not. And you get an exact number of blocks. Not one more, not one less. Two walls to begin with. Later, a third shadow falls from above. NO WORDS NEEDED The first six levels teach every control without a single line of text. Watch, copy, and you are playing. ENDLESS The board grows, the block count climbs, the shadows multiply. There is no last level. TIME ATTACK One, three, or five minutes. Solve as many as you can before the clock runs out. SEEDS Every puzzle comes from a seed. Same seed, same settings, same puzzles in the same order — on any device. Trade seeds with a friend and race on identical boards. MAKE YOUR OWN Paint a shadow and the game builds a solid that casts it. Share what you make as a short code. QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No accounts. No sign-up. No internet connection at all. Nothing is collected, because nothing ever leaves your phone. Each block rings a note a step higher than the last, and the Taptic Engine answers every placement. Five color themes. Hints when you want them, never in the way. English, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 한국어.
