Grid survival game with real-time tile elimination

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Choose your grid size: 5×5 (25 tiles), 6×6 (36 tiles), or 7×7 (49 tiles).

  2. 2

    Select 1–5 tiles as your safe zones. These are the tiles you need to survive.

  3. 3

    Set your bet and start the game.

  4. 4

    Tiles begin going dark one by one in a provably fair random order. Your multiplier climbs with each survival.

  5. 5

    Cash out at any time to lock in your multiplier, or wait for bigger payouts. If your tile goes dark, you lose.

Provably Fair System

The entire elimination order is a Fisher-Yates shuffle of all tile indices, seeded by HMAC-SHA256(server_seed, client_seed:nonce). The shuffle determines the exact order tiles go dark — but they're revealed one at a time. You can verify the full order after rotating seeds.

Visit the Fairness Verification page to verify any past round with your seeds.
