Tetrimoji – A Tetris Game built with Emojis

I 've always been fascinated by emojis—the modern pictorial language that helps us express emotions more effectively in the digital era 😎. With such a vast collection available, we have numerous creative ways to use them, from crafting funny story-telling sequences in SMS to arranging them into pixel art or grid-based games scene like Chess or Tetris.

I’ve thought about creating simple web game prototypes using only emojis as graphics for fun a few times. One day, I saw people tweeting back and forth, arranging emojis to simulate Tetris scene, then I spent an afternoon at a coffee shop coding this prototype. It’s just a basic version of Tetris, nothing fancy and honestly, anyone can do it. But it was surprising funny to see the game powered by emojis 🤣.

To make emoji-tetris tweeting easier, I’ve added a copy button that lets you copy the game state as emojis so you can paste it anywhere.
