How to play


10x10 is the always popular classic block-stacking game. While this particular version of the game is outdated compared to more recent versions such as Block Champ, it's still a timeless, simple classic with a basic but comfortable design, and the Arkadium website is proud to keep the game going.



General rules. To start 10x10, simply click and drag the shapes on the bottom of the screen to the grid. Drag them to open spaces in the board, and try to fill each space you can, without empty squares between pieces.



As you fill the grid with the block pieces, you can fill entire vertical or horizontal lines, in rows of 10 blocks. This will make the blocks disappear.



As you start filling the grid more and more, it's important to keep making lines for as long as you can. This will make it so that the grid still has spaces for you to place pieces on.


When there's no more room for you to insert your pieces, the game will end, and your score will be posted.


On top of the game, you'll see your score, your high score, and the pause icon.



Pausing the game will give you the pause menu.



The home icon will reset the game, the lightbulb icon will switch between light and dark mode if you consider the game to be too bright, the sound icon will mute the game, and the play icon will return you to your play.



"No moves left" problem


We understand that sometimes, when the game still has moves yet to play, it may end unexpectedly, with a "No Moves Left" message.

Our version of the 10x10 game is one of the oldest titles that we have on the website and due to this, it has some critical bugs in its logic. Unfortunately, the team that made this game no longer works with us. However, we maintain the game on the website for fans who still enjoy the classic experience.

Some good news for 10x10 fans! Arkadium offers a brand new version of 10x10, with a brand new updated look and without the problems this classic version has. Please follow this link to try the Arkadium Block Champ game: https://www.arkadium.com/games/block-champ/

Scoring


The player drags Tetris-like shapes to the 10x10 grid to arrange them in straight lines spanning the board either vertically or horizontally.


  • Each shape is made up of individual tiles, and tiles in a complete line are cleared from the board.


  • The player receives 1 point for each tile successfully placed or cleared.


  • There are no special score modifiers.


  • Placing a shape made up of 3 tiles = 3 points.


  • Clearing a line (10 tiles) = 10 points (plus the points from the tile placed).


  • Clearing 2 lines at once (20 tiles) = 20 points (plus the points from the tile placed).
