Block Blast: A Perfect 5-Minute Brain Break (That Turns Into 30)

[redkales]

Need a relaxing game that still makes you think? Block Blast is the kind of puzzle you can play for a few minutes—or accidentally lose an hour to while trying to beat your best score.

How it plays
Drag and drop shaped blocks onto a grid. When you complete a full row or column, it “blasts” away and frees up space. The goal is simple: keep the board alive for as long as possible.

Why people love it
Calm pacing (often no timer)
Clear rules, satisfying feedback
Great for commutes, breaks, and winding down
Beginner-friendly tips
If a piece looks annoying, plan its home early
Try to avoid tiny isolated gaps
Save open lanes for long pieces when possible
