Crease Game

What Is Crease Game?

Crease Game is a free browser puzzle about folding a square sheet of paper into a target shape. Each level gives you a dashed outline and a sheet to work with. Drag the paper to preview a fold, release to make the crease, and compare the result with the outline. The challenge is to match both the shape and its position. A rectangle of the right size in the wrong corner still needs work.

Every crease changes the paper you have left to fold. A move that looks useful now may shift an edge you need later, especially when several layers overlap. There is no timer, so you can study the outline, try an idea, and unfold it if it does not help. Solving the shape is the first goal; using fewer folds and fewer hints gives you another reason to revisit a puzzle.

This is an independent, free browser-based paper-folding puzzle. It is not affiliated with other games named Crease, including the game on Steam. There is nothing to download and no account to create. Start with Crease Game daily, open the Unlimited puzzle collection for more practice, or learn how to play Crease below.

Start with a fold

How to Play Crease in Four Steps

1. Look at the target. The dashed outline shows the shape and position you are aiming for. Notice its straight edges, diagonal edges, and corners before moving the paper. Compare those features with the original square: which edges already line up, and which parts of the sheet extend beyond the target?
2. Grab and drag the paper. Pull a point on the sheet toward where you want it to land. The crease forms between the point you grab and its landing position. Watch the preview as you drag the paper; it shows how the folded shape will look before you commit to the move.
3. Release to make a crease. Folds snap to horizontal or vertical guides, and some levels also allow diagonal folds. Each move folds all the layers on the chosen side of the crease. Release when the preview matches your intention, then inspect the new outline before making the next fold.
4. Match the shape. Watch the match percentage, but also inspect every edge of the target. A nearly complete match can still leave a small corner outside the outline. Finish within the reference fold count without using hints to earn three stars. You can complete a puzzle with more folds, too.

The controls give you room to experiment. Undo takes back a fold, Restart gives you a fresh sheet, and Hint can show the next reference crease and drag direction. If your folds differ from the reference route, the hint may ask you to undo a move first. Hints affect the stars for that attempt, so use them when you want to understand a move, then try the puzzle again without help.

For small folds, choose a finer Fold grid, down to 1/32 of the original sheet. Use the zoom buttons and Move view to reach an edge, then turn Move view off to fold. Fit paper restores the full view. Zoom changes your view of the board; it does not change the target you need to match.

Keyboard shortcuts: Focus the board first. U undoes, R restarts, H gives a hint, and F toggles fullscreen. Enter moves to the next puzzle after solving. Press Esc to cancel a drag or leave fullscreen. Folding uses a mouse or touch.

Nine New Puzzles Every Day

The daily set contains three Easy, three Medium, and three Hard puzzles. A new set opens at 00:00 UTC, so everyone gets the same puzzles for the same date. That reset may fall in the morning, afternoon, or evening where you live. Use the date shown beside the game to identify the set you are playing.

In the set for 2026-11-11 (UTC):

• Easy: 3 puzzles with reference solutions of 2, 2, 2 folds, in order. The first target has 4 edges.
• Medium: 3 puzzles with reference solutions of 4, 3, 4 folds, in order. The first target has 8 edges.
• Hard: 3 puzzles with reference solutions of 5, 5, 5 folds, in order. The first target has 9 edges.

Pick any difficulty from the game menu. Easy is a useful place to get comfortable with the drag preview, while Medium and Hard ask you to keep track of more edges and layers. You do not need to finish one difficulty before opening another. Each puzzle has its own reference fold count, shown in the game, so judge your attempt against that level rather than a different shape.

Missing a day does not lock you out of its puzzles. Open Earlier levels and choose an available date from November 10, 2026 onward. The same area includes the original folding lessons, which introduce simpler moves. If you want a larger selection without waiting for tomorrow, Crease Game Unlimited lets you browse the full puzzle collection by difficulty.

Your unfinished folds and best stars are saved in this browser when browser storage is available. Return using the same browser to continue. Daily and Unlimited keep separate progress, so practicing a shape in Unlimited does not complete its Daily entry. Clearing browser storage removes those saves; they do not follow you to another device.

Tips for Fewer Folds

• Start with one edge. Choose a target edge and imagine which part of the paper could land there. Solving one clear alignment is easier than guessing at the entire silhouette at once.
• Think about the last fold. Ask what the paper might have looked like just before the target was finished. This can suggest an intermediate shape to work toward without committing to a long sequence.
• Watch every layer. A crease moves all the paper on its folding side. Check whether a useful edge will move along with the corner you are trying to tuck away.
• Learn from the preview. Pause before releasing and compare the result with the outline. If the move puts an edge farther away, adjust the drag or cancel it. There is no reward for rushing.
