Hexic HD FAQ by motosan

Acknowledgments: I’d like to thank members of the xbox community whose advice on xbox.com forums helped me learn this game, and who taught me many of the strategies and tips I pass on below. Dragon 707, Ank 1, B, Theperson45, and FunkDog were especially helpful, and others in the Hexic forum have been great about sharing advice and knowledge with any beginner who asks for help.

Introduction: This FAQ is intended for players who are interested in Hexic, or otherwise new to the game. Some of the information below is presented in the game’s Rules and Tips screens, and beginners are advised to read these screens to see pictures of the principles involved in game play as well as the tiles and other game pieces. This FAQ answer many questions that aren’t covered in the game’s help screens, and  then offers advice on some more advanced techniques.

Q: What is Hexic HD?
A: Hexic HD is the Xbox Live Arcade game that comes free with Xbox Live. It was created by Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov, and has been redone in HD for Xbox Live.

Q: I want to start playing—where do I find the game?
A: To play Hexic, go to the Dashboard, select the Games tab, then scroll down to Xbox Live Arcade and select that. This will take you to the Arcade section, and you will see any Arcade games you’ve purchased and any free demos you’ve downloaded from Marketplace. Since Hexic comes free on 360s sold with the HDD, you should see Hexic there.

Q: Do I need to have a Live Gold account or be on the internet?
A: You don't need either—in fact, if you just got an HDD xbox and haven't purchased any games yet, Hexic is the only thing you can play! You just need to create a profile, then sign in and look on the Dashboard for Hexic as explained above.

Q: Can I get Hexic back if I accidentally delete it?
A: This thread on the xbox.com Hexic forum tells you how to get Hexic back.

Q: How do I play Hexic?
A: The Hexic game board is composed of 10 staggered columns of hexagonal tiles. The basic move in Hexic is to grab a trio of tiles and rotate them clockwise or counter clockwise so that three tiles of the same color touch. This is called a Combo, and the three combined tiles disappear, earning you some points, and causing three new tiles to fall from the top to fill up the board again.

Q: Is Hexic that simple?
A: No! Hexic becomes a complex game because as you progress, other types of tiles with unique qualities either appear by themselves, or are created by the player.

Q: What are the types of game pieces and combinations in Hexic?
A: They are as follows:

  1. Hexic Tile: The normal tiles are different colors (red, yellow, light green, dark green, blue, purple, and magenta).
  2. Starred Tile: This is a colored tile, but it has a star outline on it, and it has several qualities that make it much different from a normal tile.
    1. Combining a starred tile with normal tiles of the same color gives you more points.
    2. A starred tile can be comboed with two other starred tiles of any color for even more points.
    3. When you combine a starred tile with a bomb cluster, the bomb is removed, as are all other tiles of the same color.
    4. A starred tile is also a multiplier, when used in flower clusters (more on that below).
  3. Bomb Tile: This is a colored tile that includes a bomb and a counter. To remove a bomb, you must combo it with two other tiles of the same color. If you do not do this before the bomb’s counter reaches zero, your game is over.
  4. Silver Star: When you surround a game piece of any color or type with six tiles, each of which is the same color (for example, if you surround a red tile with six green tiles), the six surrounding pieces disappear and you create a silver star.
    1. The silver star can be rotated as any normal tile in a three-piece group, but it also lets you grab the six pieces surrounding it and rotate them as a group. This is one of the most powerful moves in Hexic and the fundamental tool for getting high scores.
    2. When you have made two silver stars, you can place one next to the other and use them as a pair to ‘walk’ around the board (more on this below).
    3. You can surround a silver star with six pieces of the same color just as you did to create the silver star: when you do this, a second silver star drops from the top of the board in the same column as the original silver star.
  5. Star Flower: This is what we call a Hexic piece surrounded by six same-colored pieces. You only see star flowers for a second, though, because they disappear as soon as you create them. Making star flowers is a fundamental part of Hexic scoring strategies (more on this below).
  6. Black Pearl: When you create a star flower of silver stars, you create a black pearl instead of another silver star. Pearls have their own unique qualities:
    1. Pearls cannot be removed from the board.
    2. There are two types of pearls: one grabs three adjacent pieces in the shape of a Y, and the other type grabs three adjacent pieces in the form of an upside down Y. Both are very useful for moving tiles in certain situations.
    3. Pearls can be used to end games, either by creating a 3-pearl combo, or the grand daddy of them all, a black pearl star flower, also called the Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah.

Q: Are there different game modes in Hexic HD?
A: Hexic has three game modes: Marathon, Timed, and Survival.
  1. In Marathon, you work your way through the levels at your own pace, and the game ends when one of three things happens: you are unable to remove a bomb in the allowed number of moves; you make a 3-pearl cluster; or you make a 6-pearl flower.
  2. In Timed, you must work quickly to make combos before your clocks runs out. Making combos of different types puts time back on the clock, or extends its capacity.
  3. In Survival, you work through 50 levels trying either to clear the board of pieces, or survive until level 50. Unlike in the two other modes, in Survival comboed tiles are not replaced with new tiles from the top until you can longer make any combos. Then the level is over, remaining tiles are locked in place, and new tiles fill the board again to begin the next level. Locked tiles can then be unlocked by becoming parts of live tile combos or by making a star flower.

Q: Does Hexic HD have multiplayer modes?
A: No.

Q: Are there leaderboards?
A: Yes, for all three game modes, which you can sort by top scores, friends’ scores, or where your own score falls on the overall board.

Q: Can I save a Hexic game?
A: Sort of. You can stop a Hexic game at any time by pressing Start. You can then exit the game in progress and even quit Hexic. When you restart Hexic, you will be asked if you want to resume your game in progress. If you say Yes, you will return to the exact point where you left off. CAUTION: if you want to preserve a game in progress, make sure to exit the game and quit Hexic. If you just turn off the 360 or otherwise interrupt a game in progress without exiting back to the main menu, Hexic won’t save your progress and your game will be lost.

Q: I find it difficult to distinguish one color from another. Is there anything I can do?
A: Yes. Hexic allows you to turn on Patterns, which are symbols superimposed so that each colored tile has a corresponding symbol, which many players find this helpful. You can turn symbols on in the game Options.

Q: What are the Hexic Achievements?
A: There are 12 achievements with 200 total points as follows.
  1. Cluster Buster (25 total combos, 5 points)
  2. Star Gazer (combo of starred tiles, 5 points)
  3. Flower Child (make a star flower, 15 points)
  4. Collapse Master (make 5000 combos, 10 points)
  5. Survivalist (beat Survival Mode, 15 points)
  6. Millionaire Extraordinaire (1,000,000 total points, 25 points)
  7. Oyster-meister (create a black pearl, 15 points)
  8. Tick-Tock Doc (get 75,000 points in Timed Mode, 20 points)
  9. Marathon Mogul (get 150,000 points in Marathon Mode, 20 points)
  10. Big Cheese of the South Seas (make a combo of three black pearls, 20 points)
  11. Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah (make a flower of 6 black pearls, 25 points)
  12. Hexic Addict (complete 100 Hexic games, 25 points)

Q: How many Levels are there in Hexic Marathon?
A: There are seven levels. Each level has an increasing number of combos required to move to the next level:

Level 1: 50 (no bombs, no multipliers)
Level 2: 60 (multipliers begin)
Level 3: 70 (bombs begin)
Level 4: 80
Level 5: 90
Level 6: 100
Level 7: unlimited—play until a bomb, pearl combo or pearl flower ends the game

Q: Is there a guide to making high scores available?
A: As a matter of fact, there is! One of the very best Hexic players, Dragon 707, has posted a guide explaining the system he created for getting super high scores. (Note: Dragon uses slightly different names for pieces than this FAQ does, but his terms are defined in the beginning of his guide.)

Q: Are there basic skills and techniques I should know?
A: Yes. Please read on!

Hexic Techniques and Strategies

Learn to make Silver Stars
Every successful Hexic game begins with the creation of the first silver star, and in some ways this is the hardest part of the game, since you begin with none of the tools you have later on to make forming new stars easier.

The best way to form your first silver star is to look for a star flower that is already partially made, with the bottom three pieces in position. For example: a green piece as the center with three red pieces forming a bowl below it. It is easier to make the first star in the middle of the board than on the edges, so if you see this 4-piece arrangement in the left or right three columns, don’t waste your time—find another one to work on in the middle of the board. You also need to have enough pieces of the required color above your half-made star so that you can make combos to get those pieces to fall on top of the future star.

Give yourself a good starting board! You can always quit and restart Level 1 of a Marathon game if the set up you’re given doesn’t show you any good half-made stars. If you don’t see a place to start, just quit and begin a new game. Maybe the next random board set up will be better!

When you have a good starting position, make combos above the partially made star so that pieces of the right color fall on top of the others. The last of the six pieces can often be rotated into position, so watch for this and don’t kill yourself trying to make a combo that allows the last piece to fall into place. Just get it one spot away and rotate it into the last spot on the flower.

When you do this, the center tile will become a silver star, and the surrounding pieces will disappear. Once you have your first silver star, making the second is much easier because of how a silver star works. Not only can you rotate a silver star as a normal piece, but the star allows you to select the six pieces surrounding it and move them as a unit. You can now make combos around the star so that pieces of the desired color fall onto it, then rotate the pieces you want to save out of the way so new combos above the star can add more of the desired pieces. Just make sure as you rotate the star cluster that you don’t accidentally make a combo below or to the side of the cluster. This will cause your pieces to disappear and you’ll have to start again, possibly with a different color this time.

With practice, however, you should get the hang of this and soon have your second star flower one piece away from making a new silver star. When you move the last piece into position with a normal combo, all six pieces around the existing star will disappear, the star will fall down one row, and a new silver star will fall from the top in the same column as the existing silver star.

So you have two silver stars. What next? You now want to combo the two stars toward each other until they are touching, because this allows you even more power for moving pieces around the board. Once you have a ‘pair’ of stars, you’re ready to go for a ‘walk.’


Walking pieces with star pairs
The first thing to notice when you have a star pair is that either star can work as the ‘center’ of rotation. When you move the selector over them, you’ll see that you have several selection options for the pair of stars and the pieces that surround them. Imagine that the two stars are stacked one on top of the other. If you grab the top star as the center of a seven-piece cluster, you can turn it so that the bottom piece moves upward and three moves later is now the top star. If you then select it as the center, you can do the same thing again—three moves later each star has moved up two spaces in the column.

The above scenario assumes, however, that while making these moves you did not move a normal tile into a combo. If you did make a combo, the stars might be in different positions, depending on how you made the combo, and might not even still be touching. For beginning players, avoiding unwanted combos is one of the hardest things about Hexic. You have no one to blame but yourself, though! For any move you want to make, you have all the information you need to predict what is going to happen. It just takes some time and practice to see the future clearly. Some beginners complain that Hexic is a luck game, but the ONLY time luck is a factor is after you’ve made a combo and new pieces fall onto the board; that is the only time you aren’t in complete control of what happens! With a pair of stars, you could move around the board indefinitely, without making a single combo, if you were careful enough. Being careful and patient is crucial to success in Hexic.

So, if you’ve been careful to avoid making any combos in the above example, you will also notice that your combo counter on the left side of the screen has not changed. You are no closer to the next level, for one thing, and more importantly, you have not caused any new pieces to appear on the board. You always want to eliminate the potential bad luck of a bomb falling at a time when or in a place where you aren’t ready for it, or of new pieces falling from the top and causing combos that wreck your plans.

The next important thing to notice about star pairs is that the surrounding pieces attach to them differently. Using our same example of one star on top of another, with the top star being the center of the cluster, you will see that one star on each side of the 7-piece cluster touches BOTH of the silver stars. The other three pieces only touch the star that is the center of the cluster. If you reselected that lower star as the center, three new pieces below the new center star would now be part of the cluster, but the two pieces that touch both stars haven't changed. Those two pieces are glued to your star pair until you either make a combo that alters the position or use another star pair to rotate one of those glued pieces out of the first cluster and into the cluster of the second star pair.

This means that while one star pair is useful, two star pairs are MUCH more useful for moving pieces around the board. Once you have two star pairs, making more silver stars gets MUCH easier, because you can walk your star pairs around, picking up whatever colored pieces you want, and using the star pairs to move those pieces to where you’re making your next flower.

You can probably guess what comes next: while two star pairs are more useful than one, three star pairs make moving pieces even easier. This trend continues until you find you have too many stars on the board to manage. You have to do something with all these stars!

Making Pearls
Just as you make silver stars by surrounding one piece with six others, you create pearls by surrounding a piece with six silver stars.  But once you have three pairs of silver stars, making an black pearl is fairly easy. Since you don’t care about what pieces are attached to the star pairs, you only need to move each star pair into position without making an unwanted combo along the way that either separates a star pair, or worse, combos three or more of your stars. This is one of the most frustrating experiences for beginners, but with practice you get to recognize potential silver star combos and can steer around them.

Walk one pair to the middle of the board so you have plenty of room and rotate the pair so that one star is above the other as in our example above. Walk a second pair so that it is also vertical, but two columns to the left or the right, and one space lower than the first pair. Walk the third pair so that it is directly above the second pair. You should now have four stars lined up vertically, one column over from the first pair.

Now rotate this second pair toward the first pair so that you have your stars in the shape of a J, or a backwards J, depending on which side the four-star stack was on. Finally, select the top star of the third pair and its two adjacent NORMAL Hexic pieces so that you can rotate that star into the final position to create the pearl.

But wait! You’re now out of stars and have to start over making more! This is why you want to wait to make a pearl until you have at least the six stars you need for the pearl, and another five or six stars to help you make more stars for the next pearl.

Star Management
Never let your number of stars fall below five or six if you can help it. If you find you have too many stars to keep track of and that you’re accidentally comboing them out of existence, you can always move some in pairs to one of the lower corners of the board, where they will wait patiently until you’re ready to make a pearl. Some players move their fourth star pair there as soon as they make it, then as soon as they make the fifth star pair, they move that one down into position. When they make the sixth star pair, they move it down and create a pearl, while always keeping three star pairs hard at work on the board but never letting the board get too cluttered.

Working with many stars on the board is a challenge! Avoiding star combos is difficult at first and accidentally making star combos is heartbreaking when you’ve taken so much time to make those stars in the first place. But again, star combos can be avoided if you are patent and careful in your movements.

Strategy Summary
  1. Create your first silver star from an already partially made position.
  2. Use the star to create another star.
  3. Join the two stars. (But if, while moving the stars together, you see a good opportunity to make another star, take it!)
  4. Learn to walk star pairs so that you can move pieces around the board.
  5. Make as few combos as possible.
  6. Be patient and careful to avoid star combos.
  7. Only make pearls when you can do so and still have star pairs left over to make more stars.
  8. When you can make stars without too much difficulty, pick a goal, like the black pearl cluster achievement, and work toward it.


Q: Are there general strategies to get the hardest achievements?
A: Yes. To get the Big Cheese, you need three pearls, each of which requires six silver stars, so you need to make at least 18 stars. Making a pearl combo ends your Marathon game, however, so if this is your goal, make your three pearls, put use star pairs to move them into a position that is one move away from making the combo, and leave them there. From here, you can continue to play to increase your score. If a bomb falls that you can’t remove, with your last move of the game, complete the pearl cluster to end the game and get this achievement.

To get the Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah, you need twice as many pearls, so at least 36 stars. Again, be patient, make pearls and move them into position so that you can end the game with one move if you have to. Beware: the only thing worse than accidentally comboing stars is accidentally comboing PEALRS! Ouch.

A nearly complete pearl flower takes up a fair amount of the board, considering that it’s just going to sit there until you decide to finish it and end the game. So assemble it in one of the lower corners to give yourself as much as possible of the rest of the board to use.

Q: Ok, I have the basics down and want to score big! What do I do next?
A: Read Dragon 707’s guide! The biggest points come from making flowers using multiple starred tiles. A flower of six starred pieces around a pearl scores 1,120,000 points on Level 7! Dragon’s 4 by 4 grid lets him make big points like this over and over.

If you find his technique daunting, you can score several million points by being patient, setting up a pearl flower, and trying to reach Level 7 before finishing the flower. If you build a poo bah around a star and finish it on Level 7, you get 1,750,000 points in the one move.

Q: How many points do I get for things like stars and pearls?
A: Dragon's guide end with a list of scores for all the possible combos and flowers.

Q: I have more questions--where can I go for more help?
A: The Hexic HD board on the xbox.com forums is the place to ask more questions. We have a great community here, with many skilled players who generously help out others who are trying to learn the game and get the achievements.

This is kind of off topic, but don't you gtuys think Tetris is better? Yes i play this when I'm stuck on a game, but if there was tetris, that would be top game. To me, Hexic seems like an almost copy or remake of Tetris.

The concept behind Hexic was created by the same man who created tetris, I believe.

This is a great start.  I've been trying to figure some of this out on my own.  I thought there was some magic to making the first star, but my thoughts were validated...  It IS the hardest part.  An awesome post.  I agree there should be pictures, but maybe that's in the guide that I will have to check out.  Also play this to unwind, but when you start getting up there it can be just as tense as any other game.

Agreed.  Great faq.  Still trying to figure some of it out like getting the coloured pieces where I want them.

Had just been figuring it out on my own as I go and never played the marathon.  After reading this Friday, tried marathon and went from about 66,000 that night to over 200,000 the next morning.  Got my over 150,000 achievment and almost the Big Cheese achievment.  And this is only in a few games played.  Once I figure out moving the coloured pieces the way I want I'm looking forward to taking it over a million.

Thank you,  N1.

I'm not sure they want to make it that easy for us.  There's a certain amount of accomplishment in figuring it out.   Keep at it.

I suppose so.  I just have trouble seeing the board at this point.  Hard to see those combos before I rotate the stars.

Re: Sv: Hexic HD FAQ by motosan

motosan 12-31-2006, 12:51 AM
That will come wtih practice. You'll even get to where you see those combos a move or two away--not only will you notice, if I rotate this selection it will combo right there, but you'll start saying, if I rotate this selection I'm a move away from an unwanted combo. It gets weird, how your brain will start to see patterns.

Me too, trust me.  I decided to go for my 'big cheese' today, but combo'd my stars at about 8 or 9.

Seems when I get too many on the  board its hard not to.  And the thing is, its not just about seeing one or two combos ahead, its missing the 4 or 5th one down the board that drops and lands a star on your stars.  I quit my game after my first pearl.  Was getting a little impatient.  Will go back later and keep at it.

It seems to me its going to come in small steps.  For a bit I was having trouble just figuring out how to walk the stars.  Before I ever came to the board, it hit me how I could do it in order to make a pearl.  Then later I totally forgot and got really frustrated.  That's when I searched out this forum.

The info here has definitely helped my game, but it leaves the element of  'getting it'.  Which I'm really glad about.  Now that I'm getting better at moving my pieces and seeing how 'walking' really works its pretty cool.  When I finally get that 'big cheese' and 'poobah' I'll have earned it and not had it handed to me.

And btw Motospan, getting to the point where I will start to see patterns really WILL be cool.

I have no doubts you are going to meet your Hexic goals Nidder!  You've got the perfect outlook!  I get messages EVERY day from people asking how to get high scores, or "what's the glitch/cheat that let you get that score?"  Most of the time I just direct people here and tell them to read these guides. 

We don't hold things back to be "mean"... just as you mentioned in an earlier post, the satisfaction comes from figuring things out on your own.  These guides give players all the pieces of the puzzle necessary to excel at this game, but it's up to them to put that puzzle together!

Best of luck!
