Game Is Hard Level 24 Breakdown
What You See
The screen is scattered with six orange shapes of different kinds — a couple of circles, a triangle, a square, a diamond, a hexagon — all spread across a dark background in no obvious arrangement. The prompt "get rid of these!" reads like an order to clean up, and with the shapes looking like loose objects, it's easy to assume you should grab them and toss them.
But nothing is loose. The shapes are fixed in place, and the only interaction the level will accept is a tap — provided it lands on the right shape at the right moment.
Why You're Stuck
I swiped at them like I was sweeping junk off a desk. Nothing. I shook the phone like a maraca. Nothing. I tried dragging each one toward the edge of the screen to throw it into the void, and they just sat there, mocking me. It genuinely felt bugged, because every cleanup instinct I had from earlier levels — drag, shake, flick — was suddenly useless.
What I was missing was that "get rid of these" was never a request for force. The shapes are a lock, and a tap is the key — but only in a specific order. Once I stopped throwing them and started reading them as a sequence to enter, the whole thing unlocked.
The Answer
Tap the six shapes in order: Top-Left Circle, Bottom-Right Circle, Top-Right Triangle, Bottom-Center Square, Center Diamond, Bottom-Left Hexagon. Work through the chain quickly and the shapes delete themselves one by one until the screen is empty.
How to Beat It
Go in sequence, and let each tap land before the next. Here's the order, grouped so it's easy to follow.
- Start with the two circles. Tap the circle in the top-left corner first, then the circle in the bottom-right. They'll pop out of the grid one after the other.
- Move to the triangle and square. Tap the triangle in the top-right, then the square sitting at the bottom-center. Keep the rhythm going — don't pause long enough to lose your place.
- Finish with the diamond and hexagon. Tap the diamond in the center, then the hexagon at the bottom-left. The last shape clears, the screen empties, and the level completes.
Troubleshooting
If a shape you tap doesn't disappear, you've jumped ahead in the sequence — the level resets the chain on a wrong tap. Go back to the top and start the order from the first circle again. Don't try to drag or shake as a fallback; only taps count, and only in the right order. Keep this list open beside you and tick each shape off as you go.
Why It Works
The level dresses a memory test up as a cleanup job. It shows you loose-looking shapes and a command word — "get rid of" — that primes your brain for physical action, then quietly ignores every physical action you try. The real rule is order: the shapes vanish only when tapped in the one sequence the game has decided on. It's not about force or cleverness; it's about finding the hidden chain and following it without breaking step.
The Rule to Carry Forward
When a screen full of objects won't respond to force, stop and look for an order. Some levels are won by sequence, not strength.
- Try tapping before throwing: if dragging and shaking do nothing, a tap sequence is the next thing to test.
- Watch for pop-and-reset feedback: a shape that briefly reacts then resets is a clue that order matters.
- Memorize the chain: once you have the correct order, replay it cleanly instead of experimenting mid-sequence.
Read the six shapes as a sentence you can chant: "circle, circle, triangle, square, diamond, hexagon." With the positions attached, it's a lot easier to keep the chain straight while you tap.
Swiping the shapes off-screen or shaking the phone. These are fixed sequence targets, not physics objects — only tapping them in the correct order will clear them.

Game Is Hard Level 24 FAQ
What order do I tap the shapes in Game Is Hard Level 24?
Top-left circle, then bottom-right circle, then top-right triangle, then bottom-center square, then center diamond, then bottom-left hexagon. Tap them quickly, one after the other, without dragging or shaking.
Why won't the shapes go away when I shake my phone in Game Is Hard Level 24?
Because this level isn't a physics puzzle — it's a sequence puzzle. Shaking, swiping and dragging do nothing. The shapes only disappear when you tap them in the correct order.
Do I have to tap the shapes fast in Game Is Hard Level 24?
Reasonably fast, but don't panic. Just tap each shape in the right order one after the other. The key is the sequence, not raw speed — wrong order resets the puzzle.
