What is Tetris?

Tetris is a classic puzzle video game where players arrange falling geometric shapes called tetrominoes to create complete horizontal lines. The goal is to clear as many lines as possible while preventing the stack from reaching the top of the playing field.

Perfect for puzzle game enthusiasts, casual gamers, and anyone looking for a challenging and addictive game that tests spatial reasoning, quick thinking, and strategic planning skills.

Plan Ahead: Look at the next piece and plan where to place the current one for optimal line clearing.

Keep the Stack Low: Avoid building tall stacks that limit your movement options and increase game over risk.
