About Block Battle Arena
Block Battle Arena is the falling-block puzzle everyone knows, turned into a room full of friends. Each player has their own board on their own phone, and every board shows along the top so you can see who is about to topple.
Fill a whole row to clear it, and clear several at once for more points. Clear three at once and every other board gets a gray junk row pushed in underneath; clear four and they get two. Every few lines the level rises and the pieces fall faster. The last board still standing wins the round.
Play it solo to chase a high score, add bots to the lobby for a quick match, or fill a room with friends and see who lasts longest.
How to play
- Fill a whole row to clear it. More rows at once score more.
- Clear 3 rows at once to send everyone a junk row. Clear 4 to send two.
- Every few lines the level rises and pieces fall faster.
- Last board standing wins the round.

Questions
- How does multiplayer work in Block Battle Arena?
- Everyone in the group plays their own board at the same time. A strip along the top shows every other board live, and the round ends when only one board is left.
- Can I attack the other players?
- Yes. Clear three rows with one piece and every other player gets a gray junk row pushed in at the bottom of their board. Clear four and they get two. Junk has one gap, so it can be cleared like any row.
- Can I play against the computer?
- Yes. The host can add up to three bots to the lobby, at easy, medium or hard, and they play alongside the humans.
- Does the speed ramp up?
- Yes. Every six lines you clear, your level rises and your pieces fall faster. Each player has their own level.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Press Play and you are in as a guest, with a name picked for you. A guest lasts 24 hours. Sign in with Google or Apple to pick your own name and color and keep them on every device, or to take out a Party Pass. Your real name is never shown.
- Do I need to download anything?
- No. Every game runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Open joinme.games and play. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.
- How do my friends join?
- Host a room and you get a short game code. Share the code or the invite link. Friends open it on their own phones and they are in the room straight away — nothing to press. The host starts the round for everyone.
- Does it work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. Any modern phone browser works, and the same game runs on a laptop or a tablet. Everyone in a group can be on different devices.
- Is it free?
- The games on this page are free to play. A Party Pass removes ads for you and everyone you host, and gives you a custom room code and a name of your own.
