How are my stats and times saved?

Your progress is saved automatically from your first completed run. The only real question is whether you want it tied to one device or synced across all of them.

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: 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.

Saved in your browser

Play as a guest and your win counts, best Sprint times, and high scores are stored locally in your browser, with no signup. Close the tab, come back later, and your records are still there. The trade-off is that this data lives on that one device, as the account question notes.

Syncing with an account

A free account syncs your stats and records across every device you sign in on, and keeps a permanent name on the leaderboard and daily boards. If you play on both a laptop and a phone, that is the reason to make one. A time set on one device then shows up on the other.

Privacy and your records

Guest stats never leave your browser, so your data stays yours, and clearing your browser data is the one thing that erases them. Signing in simply protects and carries those records; it is never required to play. The choice comes down to convenience and portability.

Do I need an account to play?

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.

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.

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.
