How to play Grid Smash
- Drag one of the three pieces in the tray onto the board. Pieces do not rotate; when all three are placed, three new ones come.
- Fill a whole row or column and it clears for points. Clearing several lines at once, or on move after move, makes a combo that pays much more.
- Use the special blocks a piece can carry: a bomb blasts a 5×5 area when a cleared line runs through it, ×2 and ×3 multiply the move's points, and gold +100 blocks pay a bonus.
- Every 10 clearing moves earn a joker (hold up to 3). Spend one to swap any piece in the tray for a shape you choose.
- In Classic, empty the board once it has held 40 blocks: you get +1,000 points and a special bomb you can drop on any cell for a 7×7 blast.
- The game ends when no piece in the tray fits anywhere, so think one move ahead.
Two modes: Classic and Adventure
- Classic is the endless game: start on Level 1 and chase your high score. Score 10,000 points in a game to unlock the next level; every level keeps its own best.
- Level 2 has a 2×2 ice block in the middle that breaks after 20 hits, Level 3 a 3×3 crystal block that takes 30. Both bring poison blocks that take 10 points a second until you clear them.
- From 15,000 points, on every level, a piece can carry a hard block that takes several clears to break.
- Adventure has 100 short stages in ten chapters, from Nature, Ice and Desert to Space and Cosmic. Reach the target score to clear a stage: the faster, the more stars. There is no time limit.
- Clear every stage of a chapter and reach its star goal to open the next. Replay any stage to raise its stars.
Questions people ask
How do you play Grid Smash?
Drag pieces from the tray of three onto the 8×8 board. Fill a whole row or column to clear it and score; clearing several lines at once, or on move after move, builds a combo worth much more. Pieces do not rotate, and the game ends when no piece in the tray fits.
Is Grid Smash free?
Yes. The game is free and supported by ads: a banner on the home and result screens and a full-screen ad between games (in Classic also at most one per 2,000 points, announced first), but no ad when you come back to the app. No banner sits under the board while you play. There is no subscription, no energy system and no loot boxes.
Can I play Grid Smash offline, without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Classic and Adventure both work with no internet connection, every Adventure stage included. A connection is only needed for ads to load, for purchases and updates through Google Play, and for usage statistics and crash reports.
How do I remove the ads?
Open Settings and tap Remove ads. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it removes the banner and full-screen ads for good. The optional button to watch an ad for a joker stays, and that ad plays only when you tap it.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, on your phone. The game saves as you play, and Classic and Adventure each keep their own unfinished game, plus your best scores, unlocked levels and Adventure stars. There is no cloud save: uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes this progress, and it does not move to a new phone. The Remove ads purchase is restored from your Google Play account.
Does the game give you bad pieces on purpose?
No. Every piece comes from a bag shuffled before the game starts, and the game never picks a piece for your board. It looks at your board and score only for a few fixed rules: no third poison or hard block while two are on the board, hard blocks only from 15,000 points in Classic, and your score sets how many hits one takes.
What are jokers, and how do I continue after game over?
Every 10 clearing moves earn a joker, and you can hold up to 3. A joker swaps any piece in the tray for a shape you choose, during the game or at game over to keep going. Once per game you can also watch a short ad for one extra joker; in Classic, the special bomb can clear room too.
How do I unlock Level 2 and Level 3?
Score 10,000 points in a Classic game on Level 1 to unlock Level 2, and 10,000 on Level 2 to unlock Level 3. Your current game carries on; start the new level from the level menu on the home screen. Each level keeps its own high score.
How do Adventure stars and chapters work?
Every chapter has 10 stages, with target scores from 1,000 in Stage 1 to 1,900 in Stage 10. Reach the target to clear the stage; the faster you do, the more stars, up to three, and there is no time limit. Clear every stage of a chapter and reach its star goal to open the next.
Do I need an account? What data does the game collect?
No account and no permissions. The only sign-in is the optional Google Play Games one, for achievements and leaderboards; nothing else in the game needs it. Your moves, scores and progress stay on your phone; only if you sign in to Play Games do your best Classic score, Adventure stars and achievements go to Google. Google's ad service collects data for the ads, and the game sends usage statistics and crash reports through Google Firebase; the privacy policy lists exactly what.
Which devices does it run on? Is there an iPhone version?
Android 7.0 or newer, on phones and tablets, always in portrait. Grid Smash is an Android game only; there is no iPhone or web version.
Which languages is the game in?
The game itself is in English and Turkish. It follows your phone's language, and Settings lets you switch.
