About Faces …tris III

Faces …tris III is a puzzle game where players arrange falling pieces to assemble portraits. The pieces depict facial features, and the objective is to rotate and position them to form a complete, recognizable human face.

Players can attempt to match the likeness of a known person. The game includes a feature to import a custom face drawn in an external paint program. With ten selectable difficulty levels, the experience can be tuned from fair to challenging. A two-player competitive mode is also available.

Each of the sixty included faces is accompanied by its own distinct background music. The game is a conceptual successor to Tetris and Welltris, but shifts the block-matching premise into this thematic context.
