Chess Puzzles: Crazyhouse
Daily drop-piece mate puzzles
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A new drop-mate puzzle every day: read the position, read your pocket, force the mate. Then descend ten dungeon floors where everything you capture stays in your pocket.
Drop Mate is chess with a pocket. Every piece you capture goes into your hand, and you can drop it back onto the board as one of your own — the Crazyhouse rule. Mate arrives from squares that were empty a move ago.
A new mate puzzle lands every day, and today's puzzle is always free. Each one is machine-verified to have exactly one answer, so there is nothing to guess: read the position, read your pocket, and force the mate.
• A new mate puzzle every day — today's puzzle is always free
• Your pocket and your opponent's are both on screen; nothing is hidden
• Tap a piece, then a square. Three tries, then the full solution
• A streak counter for the days you solve
• Plays in 10 languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Turkish, Russian, Hindi and Indonesian
• Works offline — no account, no ads, no server
Beyond the daily puzzle there is the Dungeon: a run down ten floors of a 5x6 arena where everything you capture stays in your pocket, fifteen charms bend the rules, and a shop sits between floors. Floor 1 is free to try; the full dungeon is a one-time purchase.
The optional Dojo Pass subscription opens the archive of past daily puzzles. Playing today's puzzle never requires a purchase.
