Shape Rotate

How to play

Rotate the left mosaic to match the target on the right.

Controls

Tap the board · Tab + Enter · Answer keys 1–4 where shown

A few ways to improve

• Locate an asymmetric feature before turning: the long vertical arm or the missing corner is a better reference than the overall block of color. Mentally follow where that feature moves after a quarter turn.
• Choose the shorter direction when you can. A target three clockwise turns away is only one counterclockwise turn away. Count turns rather than clicking rapidly and trying to stop on the correct frame.

Difficulty and daily progress

A round lasts 45 seconds. Every three starts of Shape Rotate raise its daily difficulty, up to difficulty 10. Your count resets at 00:00 UTC, so tomorrow begins with the starting challenge again. The clock continues if you switch tabs, and leaving ends the attempt.

Scores and rewards

The score measures this game’s performance. Reward points are a separate account balance. Practice rounds earn no points or XP and do not enter the rewarded leaderboard. Rewarded rounds require sign-in, human verification, active play, and live gameplay checks before a result is saved. Idle or abandoned rounds do not earn rewards.

After an eligible rewarded round, keep its sponsored claim page focused for 12 seconds and complete a fresh hCaptcha. Then select Claim reward to add the pending points and XP to your account. No advertisement click or purchase is needed. You can return to an unfinished claim from the arcade; another rewarded round becomes available after that claim is collected or skipped.

Account points currently unlock site cosmetics. Each player level after level 1 adds a 0.1% bonus to points earned from games. Read the fair-play rules or visit Support if a round needs help.
