Our take on Siheyuan
The compact format is easy to summarize as a cooperative puzzle, but its central demand is simultaneous coordination: solo players manage four areas, while groups must agree on tile transfers. The 13 modifiers change tempo, yet the core task remains focused on filling the grid.
What is Siheyuan?
Siheyuan is an action-puzzle game for solo play or local multiplayer with up to four people.
Players move falling blocks among four game areas and pass them along to fill the grid. In solo mode, one player handles tiles across all four areas; multiplayer lets participants coordinate and decide where each block should go. The game has 13 unlockable levels and 13 modifiers that shift the pace from calm to hectic. Its abstract, minimal visual design takes cues from Beijing courtyard homes, color principles, opera, and games. It focuses on coordination and is intended for players of any age.
