Tetris

About the games in this section

This collection brings together falling-block games: move and rotate pieces, complete rows and leave room for your next moves. Choose a familiar flat board, try a three-dimensional variation or change the look of the puzzle with themed pieces and extra bonuses.

Classic rows and a clear board

Start with these versions if you want to focus on placing pieces. The central task is to build complete horizontal rows without empty cells. A completed line clears to make room, while awkward placements gradually push the stack towards the top.

  • Tetris — a familiar starting point for moving and rotating pieces. Use it to discover how the different shapes fit together.
  • Tetris 2D — a flat board and the straightforward task of forming lines from falling blocks. Pick this version when you want fewer visual distractions.
  • Doctris — another variation with colourful pieces and automatic clearing of completed rows. Avoid leaving empty spaces underneath blocks you have already placed.

A useful habit is to look beyond the current piece: consider the surface it will leave behind. A deep, narrow gap limits your next moves, and a hole covered by another block is harder to fix. Practise keeping the stack fairly even before attempting riskier arrangements.

Depth and a rotating playing field

These versions ask you to consider both the shape of a piece and the position of the board itself. Placement becomes a spatial puzzle: inspect the landing area before sending a block down.

  • 3D Tetris — place pieces on four sides of a three-dimensional playing field. Both the pieces and the playing space can rotate, so check the neighbouring sides as you plan.
  • Cubic Tetris 3D — rotate the platform and the blocks to complete horizontal rows within a time limit. Looking around the board helps you spot a suitable gap.
  • First Personal Tetris — a retro-styled version with a rotating screen. Choose it for a different perspective on the familiar task of completing lines.

Themed pieces and extra actions

  • Phone Tetris — pieces are made from telephone buttons. The appearance changes, while the goal of fitting shapes together without gaps remains familiar.
  • Cherry Bombs — line building gains colour matches and explosive bonuses. Firecrackers break nearby pieces, giving you another factor to consider when choosing where a block should land.

Questions about this collection

Which game should I try first?

Begin with a flat board and standard line clearing. Once you can avoid trapping empty cells, try versions with a rotating board or three-dimensional playing space.

Is completing rows the only objective?

It is the basis of the classic variations, but individual games introduce their own conditions, such as a time limit, rotating space, colour matches or bonuses. Read the selected game's description before starting.

Where can I find the controls?

Each game page has its own instructions. Rotation and drop keys can differ, and spatial variations also have commands for turning the playing field.
