How to play

3D Tic-Tac-Toe on a cube — short rules with pictures.

Open lobby

The board

Rooms use an N×N×N cube: 3×3×3, 4×4×4, or 5×5×5. Cells are stacked in layers — think of several classic boards glued into one volume.

Your mark

Up to four players can share a room. Each seat has a shape:

  • TicFirst seat
  • ToeSecond seat
  • TriangleThird seat
  • SquareFourth seat

How to win

Get win length of your marks in a straight line. Win length is chosen when the room is created (from 3 up to the grid size). Lines can run along an axis, across a face diagonal, or through the cube on a space diagonal.

Cube vs flat view

Cube (3D) is available for classic 3×3×3 — rotate the board and click cells in space. Larger grids (4×4×4 and 5×5×5) use Flat (2D): each layer is shown as its own plane so every cell stays easy to tap.

Flat layersDefault for 4³ / 5³

Turns & timer

Players alternate. The HUD shows your mark and whose turn it is. Each room sets a turn timer — if time runs out, the turn may be forfeited. Guests can play free rooms; coin-stake rooms need a registered account with enough coins.

Quick tips

  • Control the center on odd grids when you can — it sits on many lines.
  • Watch face and space diagonals; they are easy to miss in flat view.
  • Private rooms and friend invites keep matches among people you know.
  • Wins and losses update Elo and match stats for registered players.
