Tetris Games

Tetris – fill the playing field with the right shapes!

Who would have thought that Tetris, the world-famous and popular game from Russia, would become such a huge hit? After all, all you have to do is arrange a few different blocks so that they form a complete, gap-free surface, clearing the way for new game pieces.

In classic Tetris, the pieces slowly fall from the top of the playing field and can be rotated 90 degrees. You can also try Tetris versions in which you drag the puzzle pieces onto the playing field with the mouse.

Interesting facts about the classic arcade game

• Tetris was invented by the Russian Alexey Pajitnov, who wanted to recreate a puzzle game from his childhood for the computer.
• The name of the popular online game comes from the Ancient Greek word “tetra”, meaning “four”. This refers to the four squares that make up a Tetris piece.
• The blocks in the classic Tetris puzzle come in seven famous shapes: I, J, L, O, S, T and Z.

The arcade game is a clever mix of skill and reaction, making Tetris truly addictive. Tetris is also a classic casual game, like the ones we offer for free on our games portal. Children and adults have been playing Tetris since 1984—first on the Nintendo Game Boy, and today online for free on Spielaffe.

Show off your reactions and skills while playing and arrange the blocks in Tetris strategically to clear as many colorful shapes as possible. This also requires forward thinking and patience, because sometimes you have to wait for a particular block to fill a gap correctly and achieve the highest possible score. This risk is a major part of the game's appeal. When it works, you are happy, but if you mess up a game, the frustration is great. In that case, simply play another round of Tetris on Spielaffe—you can play for as long and as often as you like!
