GRIDLOCK vs Grid

Award winner: 1st Place, Shipaton 2026 HAMM Award. Tic-tac-toe, times nine. Win small boards, line them up, and out-score everyone. Three in a row isn't the end. Play until every board closes, and the highest score wins. HOW IT WORKS • The big board is made of small tic-tac-toe boards. • Win a small board to claim it: 1 point. • Claim three boards in a straight line: 3 bonus points for every line. • The match ends when every small board is closed. Highest score wins; a tie is a draw. PLAY YOUR WAY • 2, 3 or 4 players on one device: plus, circle, triangle and square. • Bots fill any empty seat, so you can play solo or with a full table. • Bigger boards for bigger tables: 3 and 4 player matches open up many more lines to fight over. • Offline practice against bots when you have no connection. 11 SPECIAL MOVES Bend the rules when the board gets tight. • Anchor: lock a piece so it can't be moved or overwritten. • Push: shove a row of pieces in any direction. • Dictator: choose the board your opponent must play next. • Overwrite: take a cell from an opponent. • Sandwich: flip enemy pieces caught between yours. • Bait: set a hidden trap among decoys. • Mirror: claim a cell and its reflection at once. • Nuke: clear a whole small board. • EMP: strip anchors and traps from a small board. • Gravity: tilt the whole board and let every loose piece fall. • Placement: decide where your opponent lands next.

GRIDLOCK is a strategic, grid-based logic puzzle for players who think several moves ahead. There's no timer pressure, no reflexes required, and no luck involved — just pure spatial reasoning and planning. HOW IT WORKS Tap a cell and watch the effect ripple to its neighbors. Simple to learn, but every level adds a new rule that changes how you have to think. TEN LEVELS, TEN DIFFERENT CHALLENGES - Level 1 — Toggle Neighbors: learn the core mechanic - Level 2 — Wrapped Edges: the grid's borders connect to each other - Level 3 — Locked Cells: plan your route around cells you can't touch - Level 4 — Moving Obstacles: predict a patrol pattern before you move - Level 5 — Limited Moves: every single move counts - Level 6 — Multiple Objectives: satisfy several win conditions at once - Level 7 — One-Way Cells: directional tiles that only ripple one way - Level 8 — Number Constraints: cells with values that wrap on overflow - Level 9 — Hidden Cells: uncover concealed information by playing around it - Level 10 — Master Gridlock: every mechanic, combined, in one final puzzle Difficulty ramps up fast — Level 2 is already hard, and it only gets tougher from there. Every puzzle is solvable and has been verified to have a real solution, so if you're stuck, the answer is always findable. FEATURES - 10 hand-crafted, guaranteed-solvable puzzles - Undo and Reset so you can experiment freely - A 3-tier hint system that nudges without spoiling the solve - Move counters, timers, and a scoring system that rewards efficiency - Progress and best scores saved automatically to your device - Haptic feedback you can toggle on or off - Full iPad support with a responsive, scaling grid - 100% offline — no account, no ads, no internet connection required GRIDLOCK is built for players who enjoyed games like nonograms, Lights Out, and sliding-tile puzzles, but want something with more strategic depth and rule variety.
