How to play
-
Drag a piece onto the board
You get three pieces at a time. Place each one on the 8×8 board, in any order you like.
-
Fill a row or a column
A full row or column clears and makes room. Place all three pieces and you get three new ones.
-
Clear more, score more
Clear several lines with one piece, or keep clearing move after move for a combo. The game ends when none of your pieces fits.
Every deal can be played
Some block puzzles hand you pieces that don’t fit anywhere, and the game is over through no fault of yours. Block Knock! doesn’t. The three pieces it offers always fit on the board, in some order. Where you put them is up to you, so a careless move can still end the game.
How we check it
- Our automated tests deal more than 10,000 hands, and a separate solver confirms that every one of them can be placed in full.
- Another test checks that every piece in 18,000 deals fits the board the moment it arrives.
The Daily
One game a day, the same deal for everyone, and one try each. A new Daily starts at midnight in San Francisco, and the game shows you when that is where you live. In its last 15 minutes the Daily counts down, and a game still going when the day ends doesn’t count.
The highest score wins the day on the Daily’s own leaderboard, and the winner gets 100 stars.
Leaderboards that check every game
The Daily, Classic (this week and all time) and Challenge each have a leaderboard. When you finish a game, Block Knock! sends the moves you made, not just your score. Our server plays those moves again from the same start and lists the score only if it comes out the same. A made-up score can’t get in.
You choose the name next to your score and can change it any time. Players can report a name that isn’t OK.
Looks you earn
Block Knock! has 17 looks all year, from light and airy to dark and glowing. Three are free from the start, and more open with the stars you earn by playing, never with money.
Seasonal looks with animated scenery come with their holidays. Halloween is here now, free for everyone until 15 November 2026.
Your privacy
No account and no sign-up. Your progress stays in your browser, and the game talks only to our own server, for the leaderboards. Ads are coming; before they start, the privacy policy will say who provides them and what they receive. Read the privacy policy.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Stars, which open new looks, come only from playing, never with money. Like the iPhone app, the game will show a few ads: never during a game and never as a banner on the board.
Do I need to sign up?
No, there are no accounts. You pick a look and a name for the leaderboards, and your progress is saved in your browser on this device. If you clear your browser’s data for funhoot.com, you start again from the beginning.
Does it work offline?
You need a connection to open the game and to play the Daily. Once the game is open, Classic and Challenge carry on without one, and your finished games are sent to the leaderboards the next time the game reaches our server.
Which devices does it work on?
Phones, tablets and computers with an up-to-date web browser. It’s made for touch, and a mouse works too.
Which languages does it speak?
Fourteen: English, Čeština, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Polski, Português, Türkçe, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. It starts in your device’s language, and you can change it in Settings → Language.
Is there an iPhone app?
It’s coming: first as a TestFlight beta, then on the App Store. Android comes later.
How are scores checked?
Every finished game is sent with its moves. Our server replays them from the game’s starting point, with the same game code, and keeps the score only if it matches. That’s why a made-up score can’t get onto a leaderboard.
I found a problem. How do I tell you?
