Do I need an account to play?

You can play everything here without ever creating an account. An account exists only to carry your progress between devices, so it is a convenience rather than a gate.

Below you will find the short version first, then a fuller walkthrough with clear Tetris examples, a few closely related questions, and a link to try it yourself. Everything here is free to play right in your browser.

The short answer: No. Everything on Tetris.now is playable as a guest, and your stats and unfinished runs save in your browser automatically. A free account is optional: it syncs your records across devices and keeps a permanent name on the leaderboard, but you never need one to play a single game.

Play as a guest

Open any mode and play with no email and no password. Your best times, high scores, and in-progress games are stored on your own device. Even the daily challenge and multiplayer work as a guest; you just pick a display name for the boards.

What signing in adds

A free account does two things: it syncs your stats and records across every device you sign in on, and it keeps a permanent name on the leaderboard and daily boards. If you play on both a laptop and a phone, that syncing is the reason to make one. Otherwise it changes nothing about the games.

Your data stays local

Guest records never leave your browser, so the trade-off is that clearing your browser data erases them. That is exactly why some players sign in, to protect a hard-won streak or Sprint time. The choice is entirely yours, and the games play the same either way.

People also ask

Is Tetris free to play?

On Tetris.now, completely. Every mode, the daily challenge, the leaderboard, and real-time multiplayer are free to play right in your browser, with no download and no signup. An optional free account only adds cross-device stats and a permanent name on the leaderboard.

How are my stats and times saved?

As a guest, your stats, high scores, and best times save automatically in your browser on the device you are using, with nothing to set up. A free account adds cross-device syncing, so your records follow you between your phone, tablet, and computer. Either way, your progress is stored from the very first game you finish.

Can you play Tetris on mobile?

Yes. Tetris.now is built touch-first, so every mode works on phones and tablets using swipe and tap controls. There is no app to download; it runs in your mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen to play it like a native app.
