Block Clear Race
How a round works
StepEach round asks you to line up rows on a puzzle board. Finishing the puzzle earns you blocks, which you place to build platforms above the rising lava. Any player still touching lava when the round ends is eliminated, and this cycle repeats until one player remains.
- Clear lines line up a full row to clear it and earn blocks.
- Place blocks upward use your earned blocks to build platforms above the current lava level.
- Survive the round stay above the lava to stay in the game.
Puzzle speed and why it matters
TipsEvery player in a round is solving the same puzzle at the same time, so the contest is purely about speed. More blocks mean more platform space, and more platform space means you can keep climbing even when the lava rises fast. In later rounds, the gap between players with many blocks and players with few becomes the difference between winning and getting eliminated.
- Focus on completing rows rather than trying to watch what other players are doing.
- Each new puzzle is a fresh chance to build your block count.
Staying above the lava
WarnTouching the lava eliminates you immediately and permanently for that game. Keep building upward with every block you earn.
Playing against other people
TableBlock Clear Race is a competitive format, but the competition plays out through puzzle performance. Understanding that structure helps you focus on the right things.
| Puzzle | everyone solves the same board at the same time, so no one has an easier puzzle than you. |

| Winning condition | one player survives. |

Common questions
FAQI just started — what should I do first?
Get used to how the puzzle board works and what it takes to complete a row. Once you understand that, focus on finishing rows as quickly as you can so you earn enough blocks to keep climbing above the lava.
Does touching the lava knock me back, or is it instant elimination?
Touching the lava eliminates you from that game right away. The remaining players keep going, and the last one still alive wins.
What do I do when I am running out of blocks?
Get back on the puzzle board as fast as possible and clear more lines to earn additional blocks.
