Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how https://blockblast.co ("the Website", "we", "us") handles information when you visit it, play its games, read its guides or use its Block Blast solver. The Website is operated by Pattern Hub, LLC.

The Website has no user accounts, registration, purchases or newsletter, and it does not ask you to enter personal information such as your name or email address.

1. Cookies Set by the Website

  • NEXT_LOCALE: remembers the language version of the Website you are using, so you see the same language on your next visit. It expires after one year.

Analytics services loaded on the Website may set their own cookies (see section 3).

2. Information Stored in Your Browser

Some features save small settings in your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device, is not sent to us, and remains until you clear your browser's site data.

  • Language suggestion bar: lastLanguagePrompt and dontShowLanguagePrompt remember when the bar was shown and whether you closed it.
  • Block Blast (web version): blockBlast.best (your best score) and blockBlast.sound (sound on or off).
  • Apple Game: appleGame.best (best score) and appleGame.sound.
  • Minesweeper: minesweeper.best.beginner, minesweeper.best.intermediate and minesweeper.best.expert (best times) and minesweeper.sound.
  • Pikachu Volleyball: pikachuVolleyball.wins (wins against the computer), pikachuVolleyball.bestMargin (best winning margin), pikachuVolleyball.sound and pikachuVolleyball.easy (difficulty choice).
  • Ramen Shop: ramenShop.best (best earnings) and ramenShop.sound.

Game sounds on these self-hosted games are generated in your browser; no audio service is contacted.

3. Analytics

The Website uses Google Tag Manager, which loads:

  • Google Analytics 4, which collects information about how the Website is used, such as the pages you visit and the type of device and browser you use.
  • Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors interact with pages, such as clicks and scrolling, to produce usage reports.

These services are provided by Google and Microsoft, may set cookies or use similar technologies, and process information under their own privacy policies:

We use this information to understand which pages and games are used and to improve the Website.

4. Hosting

The Website is hosted by Vercel. As part of delivering the Website, our hosting provider may record technical request information in access logs, such as IP address, requested page, time of the request and browser user agent.

5. Third-Party Games

Most games listed on the Website, apart from Block Blast (web version), Apple Game, Minesweeper, Pikachu Volleyball and Ramen Shop, are provided by third parties. When you click Start Game on one of them, the game loads in an embedded frame from the provider's own domain. The providers currently used are:

  • play.gamepix.com (GamePix)
  • html5.gamedistribution.com (GameDistribution)
  • html5.gamemonetize.co (GameMonetize)
  • www.worldguessr.com (WorldGuessr)
  • schoolofcities.github.io
  • flagsquiz.games

These games run on the providers' domains and may load their own scripts, cookies or advertisements. They are subject to the providers' own privacy policies, and we do not control what they collect.

6. Embedded Videos

  • YouTube: before you play a video, the page only loads the video's thumbnail image from i.ytimg.com. The YouTube player (youtube.com) is loaded only after you click the video. From then on, Google may collect information under its privacy policy.
  • TikTok: the page shows a preview card and makes no request to TikTok until you click it. After you click, the TikTok embed script and player are loaded from tiktok.com, and TikTok may collect information under its privacy policy (tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy).

7. Block Blast Solver

When you use the solver, your screenshot is read and analyzed in your browser. The image is not uploaded to our server. Analytics services described in section 3 may still record your use of the page.

8. Sharing Game Results

Apple Game, Minesweeper, Pikachu Volleyball and Ramen Shop have a share button. Only when you click it, the Website opens your device's share menu or, if that is not available, copies your result and a link to your clipboard. What happens next depends on the app you choose to share with.

9. Your Choices

  • You can delete cookies and local storage for the Website at any time in your browser settings.
  • You can limit analytics with your browser's privacy settings or content-blocking extensions.
  • Third-party games and videos are only loaded after you click Start Game or a video.

10. Children

If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@blockblast.co.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the Website or the services it uses change. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
