Introduction
The Unblock Puzzle game is a classic and engaging sliding block puzzle that challenges your logic and problem-solving skills. The objective is simple yet addictive: maneuver a designated block—often a red one—out of a grid by sliding other blocks out of its way.
Played on a grid (typically ranging from 6×6 to 9×9, depending on the version), the game presents a mix of horizontal and vertical blocks that can only move in their respective directions. The challenge lies in figuring out how to clear a path for the target block to exit the grid, often through a designated opening, in as few moves as possible.
How to play
Know the Rules
- Horizontal blocks can only slide left or right.
- Vertical blocks can only slide up or down.
- Blocks cannot overlap or pass through each other; they can only move into empty spaces.
Objective
- Slide the blocks around to create a clear path for the red block to reach the exit.
- The fewer moves you use, the better your score or rating (some versions award stars based on efficiency).
Gameplay Steps
- Start by observing the grid and identifying which blocks are directly blocking the red block’s path to the exit.
- Drag or tap the blocks to move them. For example, if a horizontal block is in the way, slide it left or right to free up space.
- Plan your moves carefully—random sliding might trap the red block or fill up the available space.
- Continue adjusting the blocks until the red block can slide freely to the exit.
