Classic
The pure rules: three tiles per turn, a wall behind you, block or capture your opponent. Ranked 1v1 matches, plus a mode against the computer to practice.
Wallpit
Welcome to the arena.
A turn-based multiplayer strategy board game: three tiles per move, a wall behind every step, and a single goal, block or capture your opponent.
The game
The board closes in with every step you take
The rules come down to three things.
01
Three tiles per turn
Your character moves exactly three tiles, in any direction you choose.
02
A wall with every step
The tile you leave closes up behind you. The board becomes a maze.
03
Block or capture
Trap your opponent until they cannot move, or land on their tile.
Game modes
Three ways to play
From the founding rules to fully custom matches, each mode has its own flavor, and its own ranking.
Tactic
Pick one of ten classes, each with two unique spells. Grab the orbs that appear on the board to unleash your powers. Dedicated Elo ranking.
Custom
Build the match you want: board from 10×10 to 20×20, up to 4 players in teams or free-for-all, powers and rules à la carte. Unranked, just for fun.
Climb from Styrofoam to Rampart
Classic and Tactic each have their own Elo ranking. Everyone starts at 1200. The rest is up to your walls.
Styrofoamunder 800
Plywood800 – 1199
Load-Bearing Wall1200 – 1599
Concrete1600 – 1999
Rampart2000 and up
Classes
Ten classes, twenty spells
Each class brings a different way of reading the board: controlling walls, bending teleporters, surviving an impossible spot or flipping the match at the last moment. Grab an orb to unleash its two spells.

The board
A maze you build without meaning to (or not)
In Wallpit, nobody places walls by hand: your moves create them. The board closes in turn after turn, until only one path remains, or none.

Walls born from your steps
No wall stock: every move leaves a wall on the tile you left. Every single move reshapes the terrain, permanently.

Teleport tiles
18 teleporters on a 15×15 board. Land on one and set off again from the one you choose.
