How to Play
The Puzzle Game
The puzzle consists of 8 numbered pieces and 1 empty space arranged in a 3×3 grid. Your goal is to rearrange the pieces to put them in numerical order (1-8) with the empty space in the bottom-right corner.
Pro Tip: Solve the first row (1-2-3), then the second row (4-5-6), then the last row (7-8). This systematic approach will help you solve the puzzle faster.
Game Controls
- Shuffle Puzzle: Randomly rearranges the tiles (resets your current game)
- Move Tiles: Click on any tile adjacent to the empty space to move it
- Submit Score: Available only when you've solved the puzzle
Step-by-Step Gameplay
- Connect your wallet (if not already connected)
- Choose and complete your payment (ETH or DAPPUSE tokens)
- Click "Shuffle Puzzle" to start a new game
- Click on tiles adjacent to the empty space to move them
- Continue until all tiles are in order (1-8 with empty space at bottom-right)
- Once solved, click "Submit Score" to record your solution on the blockchain

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need cryptocurrency to play?
Yes, you need either ETH or DAPPUSE tokens to pay the small entry fee, plus some ETH for transaction gas fees.
Can I play without paying?
No, the payment is required to submit your scores to the blockchain and be eligible for rewards. However, you can practice solving the puzzle without paying (though you won't be able to submit your score).
How do I get DAPPUSE tokens?
DAPPUSE tokens can be obtained through exchanges or swaps. Check the official project channels for more information on where to acquire them.
Is there a mobile app?
Currently the DApp is web-based, but you can access it through your mobile browser with a wallet like MetaMask Mobile.
How are rewards distributed?
Every 25th player automatically receives both the ETH and token reward pools (if they contain funds). The system then starts a new round.
Can I see my transaction history?
Yes, all your score submissions are recorded on the blockchain and displayed in your statistics. You can also view them on blockchain explorers like Etherscan.
