Crease Game Online: fold the paper to match the shape
Crease Game Online is a free paper folding puzzle you play right in your browser. You get a square sheet of paper and a dashed outline. Fold the paper along its creases until the visible paper covers the outline exactly: the same shape in the same spot, with nothing hanging over and nothing left uncovered.
How to play the Crease Game
- Grab the paper. Press anywhere on the sheet (mouse or finger).
- Drag to fold. The spot you grab lands where you let go, and the paper folds along the crease halfway between. Drag sideways or up and down for a straight fold, or at 45° for a diagonal fold.
- Match the outline. Red stripes show paper outside the outline, and the tip bubble tells you how far off you are.
- Beat par. Par is the fewest folds that can solve the puzzle. Solve in par without hints for three stars.
Folded layers stack up, and the white back of the paper shows wherever it has flipped over. Undo, Restart and Hint are always one tap away.

Crease Game tips and strategy
- Work backwards. Look at the outline's edges. A straight edge in the middle of the board usually marks where a fold happened.
- Watch the position. The right shape in the wrong place does not count. If the game says "right shape, wrong place", fold from the other side.
- Diagonal edges mean diagonal folds. A slanted edge on the outline almost always comes from a 45° crease.
- Don't fold too much away. Paper area never grows back. If there is less paper than outline, undo.
- Use the face. The paper looks worried when a fold won't work and gets excited when it will.
