| 🟥 Spring pads | Launch you high into the air, ideal for tall gaps and high ledges. |

Game modes
The Campaign has 12 stages from the gentle Sunny Start to The Grand Obby, each with up to three stars and a best time, saved on your device. The Daily course is a long course that is the same for everybody on the same day. The Endless run is a very long, ever harder course where you have three lives and score by distance. Open the course menu with the map button to choose.
Leaderboards
Daily course and Endless run results go on the leaderboard, which has This month and All time panels. A daily score is 300 + 10 per coin + a speed bonus (300 minus 2 per second and 15 per fall, never below zero). An endless score is the distance in metres + 10 per coin. You only pick a nickname, there is no sign-up, and you can change the name, hide your scores or delete them at any time.

Block Obby tips
- Look ahead. The camera shows a few blocks in front of you, so plan the next jump before you land.
- Hold jump only as long as you need. A short tap gives a small hop that is much safer next to spikes.
- Keep your speed over gaps. Running starts give the longest jumps, so take a few steps back first.
- Do not stop on crumble blocks. Run straight across them and jump off before they fall.
- Touch every checkpoint. A blue flag turns on when you run past it and saves your progress.
- Chase the coins last. Finish the stage first for one star, then replay it for the coins and the third star.
Frequently asked questions
Is Block Obby free to play here?
Yes. Block Obby on Util.Ninja is completely free to play online, with no sign-up, no download and no in-app purchases. It runs in your browser on computers, tablets and phones, and your stars, statistics and badges are saved on your own device.
How do you play Block Obby?
Run and jump along a course made of blocks and reach the checkered finish flag. On a computer use the arrow keys or A and D to run and Up, W or Space to jump. On a phone or tablet use the on-screen left, right and JUMP buttons. Hold jump for a higher hop and let go early for a short one.
Is it the same as Roblox?
No. Block Obby is an independent game made for this site, with its own course generator, artwork, sounds and rules. It is an obby-style game, a kind of obstacle course (an obstacle course is called an obby in some online games), and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Roblox Corporation or the Roblox platform. Roblox is a trademark of its owner.
What are the obstacles?
Lava and spikes hurt, and so does falling into a gap. Tan crumble blocks fall away a moment after you land on them, red spring pads launch you high into the air, and purple moving platforms carry you across wide gaps. Blue flags are checkpoints: after a fall you restart from the last flag you touched.
How do stars work?
Every campaign stage gives up to three stars. Finish the stage for one star, collect at least 80 percent of the coins for two stars, and collect every coin with no more than two falls for three stars. You can replay a stage as often as you like to improve your stars and your best time.
Do I have to finish the stages in order?
Yes. The 12 campaign stages unlock one after another, and each one is harder than the last. Only the first stage is open to start with. The Daily course and the Endless run are open from the start.
What is the daily course?
Every day everybody gets the same course, so the scores are directly comparable. It is a long 150 block course with 12 coins. Finish it as fast as you can with as few falls as possible, and your best score of the day is kept. Tomorrow brings a new course.
What is the endless run?
The endless run is a very long course that gets harder as you go, and you have three lives. Run as far as you can: your score is the distance in metres plus 10 points for every coin you pick up. The course is different every time.
Does Block Obby have a leaderboard?
Yes. Daily course and Endless run results are ranked on a leaderboard with This month and All time panels. You only choose a nickname, with no sign-up, and you can delete your scores at any time. The campaign stages are for stars and personal best times and are saved on your device only.
How is the score calculated?
Daily course: 300 points for finishing, plus 10 points for every coin, plus a speed bonus of 300 points minus 2 points for every second and 15 points for every fall (never below zero). Endless run: one point for every metre you run plus 10 points for every coin.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Block Obby works on phones and tablets in portrait and landscape. The on-screen buttons sit at the bottom in portrait and in the two side rails in landscape, and you can switch them off in the settings if you use a keyboard.
