Drop Four — a free online arcade game on TotType
Drop Four is a free online Connect Four game that puts you against a smart AI opponent on a 7x6 board. Drop your red discs column by column and line up four in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to win each round. As you climb the difficulty levels, you'll earn POP power-ups that let you remove a column's bottom disc to undo your opponent's moves. Play it instantly in any browser on your phone, tablet, or desktop with no download needed.
How to play Drop Four
Tap a column to drop your red disc; the yellow AI answers. Connect four in a row — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — to win the round.
Tips & tricks
- Control the center columns early—they give you more winning directions (horizontal, diagonal, and vertical) than the edge columns, making it harder for the AI to block you.
- Always check if dropping a disc creates a winning line for your opponent before you move, and block their four-in-a-row threats immediately or you'll lose that round.
- Save your POP power-ups for critical moments when the AI has built a dangerous position—use it to yank away a supporting disc and break up their potential wins.
Frequently asked questions
How do you win at Drop Four?
Connect four of your discs in a row—across, down, or diagonally—before the AI does. Tap a column to drop your red disc, and the yellow AI will take its turn. First to four in a row wins the round.
What does the POP power-up do?
When you win a round in 1-player mode, you earn a POP that lets you remove the bottom disc from any column on the board. This can break up the AI's plans or create a winning line for you on your next turn. Press P (or tap the POP button) to activate it, then tap a column.
Can you play Drop Four with a friend?
Yes! Select 2-Player mode on the start screen, and you and a friend can take turns dropping red and yellow discs on the same device—no AI needed, just head-to-head hot-seat play.
