How to play

  • Every tile has two faces; only one is showing at a time.
  • Tap a pivot point to flip the 2×2 block around it — the four tiles swap positions point-symmetrically and their hidden faces are revealed.
  • A block locks in place the moment all four of its tiles show the same face.
  • Lock every block on the board to win — fewer flips than the par is a better score.

Strategy & tips

  • Flipping is its own undo — flip the same block again and it returns exactly to where it was.
  • Track which faces you have already seen on nearby tiles; a flip both moves tiles and refreshes your memory of them.
  • Work outward from a block you can already match rather than flipping at random — each flip touches four tiles at once, so plan for the ripple.
  • A block near the edge has fewer overlapping neighbours, so it is usually safer to lock first.
  • The par shown is the exact number of flips used to scramble the board, so matching or beating it is always possible.

Lock every 2×2 block on the board by getting all four of its tiles to show the same face.
