01
Place
Drag a piece from the tray onto the 8×8 board. Pieces keep their shape; the Rotate booster turns one when you need it.

Clear
Any full row or column clears, whatever its colors. Clear several at once for a combo, and keep clearing turn after turn for a streak.
03
Match

Block puzzle FAQ
Before you download.
How do you play Among the Realms?
Drag pieces from the tray onto the 8×8 board. Fill a whole row or column and it clears for points; clear several lines with one piece for a combo. In Classic the run ends when none of your pieces fit, and every Adventure level has its own goal.
Does the color of the blocks matter?
Yes. Any full line clears, but a line made of a single color earns a Color Bonus on top. In Harmony mode the rule gets stricter: only single-color lines clear at all.
Can I rotate pieces?
Pieces don't turn on their own, so reading the board is the core skill. When a piece won't fit a tight gap, the Rotate booster turns it 90°.
Is there a timer?
Most modes have no clock. Some Adventure levels give you a move budget instead, Zen has no game over at all, and King's Challenge is an optional 60-second sprint.
How do I get a higher score?
Clear two or more lines with one piece for a combo multiplier, keep clearing on back-to-back turns to build a streak, and aim for single-color lines for the Color Bonus. Fill the combo meter to start Fever, which triples every point for a few seconds.
Is Among the Realms free to play?
Yes. The full game is free to download and play, funded by optional ads. There is no pay-to-win currency.
Do I need an account to play?
No. Progress saves locally on your device. Sign in to Google Play Games if you want cloud save and achievements — it is entirely optional.
Can I play without wifi?
Yes, the core game works offline. A connection is only used for optional ads and cloud sync.
Will it run smoothly on an older phone?
Yes. Among the Realms is built for older and budget Android phones too: it checks what your device can handle and adjusts visual effects automatically, so the game stays smooth.
Is there an iOS version?
Among the Realms is available on Android now, through Google Play. An iOS release may follow later.
What makes it different from other block puzzle games?
Each of the five realms bends the familiar block puzzle with its own mechanic — drifting sand, creeping vines, frost, blooming gems and a rising tide — with boss levels along the way. Single-color lines earn a Color Bonus, and Harmony mode only clears lines of one color.
What do the boosters do?
Hammer removes a single block, Shuffle swaps your tray for three fresh pieces, Undo takes back your last move, and Rotate turns a piece 90°. Boosters are bought with coins you earn by playing, and optional rewarded ads give extra coins.
Is there a daily challenge?
Yes — Daily Puzzle gives every player the same handcrafted board each day, generated from a shared seed. Solve it before midnight to keep your streak.
How do I earn Treasury relics?
Relics and board skins are bought with stars you earn by playing. Nothing in the Treasury requires a purchase.
The road waits.
Free to play. No account. Cloud save included. The first realm opens the moment you press play.
