Overview

Tetris is a falling-block puzzle series about fitting four-square pieces into complete horizontal lines. Rotate and place each piece while leaving room for the next; its many variations turn that simple task into everything from competitive pressure to an audiovisual journey. Representative games: Tetris (1984): Introduces the seven four-square shapes and the challenge of clearing lines before the stack grows too high. Tetris DS (2006): Reworks the puzzle through Nintendo-themed modes, including Push, where clearing lines drives the shared stack toward your opponent. Tetris Effect (2018): Pairs play with reactive music and imagery, while Zone temporarily stops pieces falling automatically. Suitable for: Players who find satisfaction in making order out of awkward shapes, chasing a personal best or recovering from a board that seemed beyond saving.
