Addictive puzzle game

Not everyone likes a crossword, but what if instead of clues, you were looking for words related to a particular theme? And what if the layout is in 3D, so you have back to front as well as horizontal and vertical directions? And all the letters are made available to you, broken into segments and spread about for you to pick up and put into position intersecting with other words? If you haven't tried this game yet, you really should. You can work your way through the free puzzles created by the developers, then go through the free puzzles created by other users, then you'll love it so much you'll want to buy the premium themed puzzle packs. I know VR is popular for zombie killing and rhythm games, but when you're physically tired out, you can sit back on your comfortable couch and enjoy the satisfaction of slotting in the last piece of another word puzzle!

A real gem of a word puzzle game.

This word puzzle game makes such great use of VR. I have had so much fun solving and making puzzles for Arthur Owl's Word Block. If you are looking for a VR experience that is both relaxing and compelling you will love this game.

Great puzzle game with loads of content!

Really clever word game that’s super satisfying! I’ve not seen anything like this in VR. It’s great fun and has a lot of content, plus a level editor to make your own puzzles!... I can really imagine a community growing around this game. 😀😀😀

Deeply rewarding

The concept is sweet and simple and it works wonderfully. There are multiple things going on, you're building the obvious words to reduce the unused pieces and get a clue for the remaining words. That feeling when you realise what one of the missing words is and drag the miscreant pieces into place, it's unbeatable!

Nicely done

This is a great little title here. Made by the same good folks who created Hanna in a Choppa (also awesome), Wordblocks is a fun combination of crossword and word category game. Some of the puzzles are more difficult than one would expect! The presentation is polished, and this feels like a finished product. My only small complaint is that strangely, every puzzle started right in front of my face, to the upper right. This didn't change even with Quest repositioning. Everything else is great. So excited to see where this goes! l i n k t r . e e / q u a c k b i r t h
