How a match works
Step
When you join a match, you receive a set of colored blocks and a stack — the spot where those blocks need to go. Your goal is to place every block in the right order and complete the stack first. All other players are doing the same thing at the same time, so there is no waiting around.
- Find your stack locate where your blocks need to go before you start placing anything.
- Read the order check which color goes first, second, and so on before you make a move.
- Place one block at a time blocks only land if the color matches what the stack expects next.
- Watch the room glancing at other players tells you how far ahead or behind you are.
- Finish the stack place every block in the correct sequence to win the match.
When a block will not place
Check
Blocks cannot be placed out of order — if the stack expects red next and you try to drop blue, nothing happens. Before you panic, run through a quick check. Most stuck moments come down to one of three things.
- Color order confirm that the block you are trying to place matches what the stack currently needs.
- Available space make sure the spot you are aiming for is actually open and not already filled.
Tips for winning more matches
Tips
Players who confirm the next color before dropping a block make fewer mistakes. The more matches you play, the faster your color recognition becomes.
- Scan your entire block set the moment the match begins so you already have a rough plan.
- Prioritize accuracy over rushing — a misplaced block means stopping to figure out what went wrong.
- Let repeated play build your pattern recognition rather than forcing yourself to go faster right away.
- Keep one eye on opponents so you know how far ahead or behind you are.
Colorblind-friendly settings
StepIf you struggle to tell certain colors apart, the game has an option designed for you. Turning it on changes the color display to something more distinguishable.
- Look for the colorblind option in the game's settings and enable it.
- Play a couple of matches to check whether the new color scheme feels comfortable.
