Blip Party now has nine daily puzzles

The Blip Daily hub: a headline reading 'Nine puzzles. Play what you like.' above a grid of game cards for Quiz Five, Trio and Rebus, each showing a small illustration of its round.

Blip Party has always needed other people. That is the whole point of it — a room code, everyone's phone, someone shouting. But it also means the site does nothing at all on a Tuesday morning when there is nobody to play with.

So there is now a second thing here: Blip Daily, nine small puzzles that refresh at midnight and are meant to be played alone. Same site, same account, no app.

The nine puzzles

One of each drops at 00:00 UTC, identical for every player on Earth, and you can do them in any order — or ignore eight of them and only ever play the sudoku.

  • Quiz Five — five general-knowledge questions, four answers each, no clock. About a minute.
  • Trio — six words are on the board and three of them share a hidden link. Two guesses.
  • Rebus — two pictures mash together into one word. Three guesses, with a hint after the second miss.
  • Ladder — climb from one word to another changing a single letter at a time. Par is the shortest possible route.
  • Sudoku — a 6×6 mini. Rows, columns and 3×2 boxes, 1 to 6.
  • Mini — the small crossword, for when you want two minutes rather than twenty.
  • Keystone — make as many words as you can from seven letters, every one using the gold one. The long one.
  • Ballpark — three questions whose answer is a number. Closer scores more, and you get the story behind each answer.
  • Jigsaw — one picture, about 36 pieces, no clock. The board saves itself, so you can leave it half done.
A Keystone round in play: seven letter tiles reading L S G O U E C with the O highlighted gold, a word entry box, and four found words — LOOSE, GOOSE, CLOGS and CLOSE — each worth five points, with 'Ace at 51 points' below.
Keystone is the one that eats a lunch break. Every word has to use the gold letter, and one word in the list uses all seven.

Every game keeps its own streak

This is the one design decision worth explaining, because most daily-puzzle sites do the opposite.

A single streak across all nine would mean a perfect run costs you nine puzzles a day, every day, forever — and one skipped crossword wipes it. That is not a habit, it is a chore with a cliff at the end. It also forces a taste nobody actually has: almost nobody likes trivia and anagrams and jigsaws equally.

So each game counts separately. Play the sudoku every morning for a month and skip the other eight entirely, and you have a 30-day sudoku streak and nothing to feel bad about. Nine small streaks turn out to be nine reasons to come back, where one big one is a single reason to give up.

When you finish for the day there is one spoiler-free share card for the lot — 🟩 for a clean solve, 🟨 for a scrappy one, 🟥 for a miss — which is the part that belongs in the group chat.

Where they came from

Most of them are solo cuts of games already on the site. Ladder is the daily version of Rungs, Mini comes out of Gridlock, Ballpark and Trio and Rebus each have a party version built for a room full of people.

That is not laziness so much as the honest test: a game that holds up alone, with no one to argue with and no timer pressure from the room, is usually a good game. A few did not survive it and are not here.

Two things to be upfront about

It is brand new — day one was 26 August 2026. Every streak on the site is currently about two days long and the archive is nearly empty, so if you are looking for a back catalogue to binge, come back in a month.

And the archive has a limit. Missed days are replayable from the hub's calendar — the last seven as a guest, the full history back to day one with a free account. Past days are just for fun either way: streaks only ever ride on today, or missing a day would cost nothing and the streak would mean nothing.

Try it

All nine comes to just under half an hour, most of which is Keystone and the jigsaw. Or it is one minute, if you only ever want the trivia. Nothing to install, and no account needed to start — an account only exists so your streaks follow you to your phone.
