Unblock the grid. Match every space. Clear the crowd before time runs out. Crowd Jam is a fast, satisfying logic puzzle where every hollow block affects your next move. Drag an open block from the grid to the waiting stickmen. They jump inside automatically—but the clock keeps ticking, so plan quickly. Study each block’s direction and capacity before you move. Removing one block can open a path for another, but choosing the wrong capacity may leave you without enough room to finish. Save the right blocks, unlock blocked paths, and reduce the crowd to zero. New obstacles keep every grid fresh. Fill blocks to unlock special pieces, break layers of ice with repeated drags, and time capacity-changing blocks to catch the perfect number. Want a longer challenge? Enter Endless Mode, keep the crowd moving, and score for every stickman collected. Filled blocks add time, while perfect capacity matches earn an even bigger bonus. FEATURES • Drag hollow blocks from a tightly packed grid • Match capacities to the remaining crowd • Unblock paths in the correct order • Beat the clock while stickmen jump inside • Solve locked, frozen, and changing-capacity blocks • Chase high scores in Endless Mode • Continue tough puzzles from where you stopped • Enjoy clean pastel visuals and satisfying movement Can you find the perfect order and clear every Crowd Jam?
