Tetraquism

Tetraquism is a block puzzle game built around a daily loop: one daily challenge, a different tournament every day of the week, and a leaderboard that resets every week. Drag pieces onto the grid, clear lines, chain combos and keep your streak alive. Easy to learn, hard to put down. Every game you play earns XP and diamonds, every mode feeds the same leaderboards, and every theme you unlock changes how the whole game looks and sounds. SEVEN TOURNAMENTS A WEEK The Arena runs a new tournament every day, each with its own rules and its own prize pool: - Manic Monday: the board fills from the bottom every 15 seconds. Stay ahead of the tide. - Turbo Tuesday: time attack. Two and a half minutes to score as high as you can. - Wildcard Wednesday: classic rules, tournament stakes. - Titanium Thursday: metal cells that never clear. Build around them. - Friday Flames: streak bonuses doubled. Chain clears for huge scores. - Saturday Showdown: survival. Start with 30 seconds and earn time with every cell you clear. - Sunday Funday: rotation. Long press to spin a piece before you place it. Enter with a ticket, post your best run, and finish on the podium for diamonds and exclusive themes. ONE DAILY CHALLENGE A new puzzle every day: collect the gems on the board to complete it, extend your streak and earn diamonds. Streak freezes cover the days you miss. CLASSIC MODE AND LEADERBOARDS The block puzzle you know: no timer, no special rules, just the grid and your best score. Every game counts toward the weekly and all-time leaderboards, and the weekly board pays diamonds to its top three when it resets. STREAKS AND COMBOS Clear lines back to back to build a streak multiplier. Clear several at once for a combo. It is a logic puzzle at heart: the scoring rewards clever placement, not fast fingers. THEMES YOU EARN Spend the diamonds you win on themes, each with its own board, pieces, colours and sound, and collect avatars to show off on the leaderboard. Equip them from your Collection. QUESTS AND LEVELS Monthly quests pay out diamonds for completing the set. Every mode grants XP, and levelling up opens new brain-teasing modes in the Training Grounds, where you can practise each tournament's mechanics before the real thing. TETRAQUISM PRO Removes every ad, adds ten tournament tickets a month, five streak freeze slots and Pro-only themes. Tetraquism is a free block puzzle game. Drag, drop, clear, and see how far up the leaderboard you can climb today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://tetraquism.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://tetraquism.com/privacy-policy
