Ten Pop is a make-ten number puzzle: a crate full of apples, each with a number from 1 to 9. Drag a box around apples that add up to exactly 10 and they pop out of the crate. If you have played Fruit Box — the famous apple game — or Tens! on Poki, you know the rule already: find the tens, as many as you can, before the clock runs out.

Make-ten puzzles have a cult following: Fruit Box, the two-minute apple game, became a speed-run classic, and newer takes such as Tens! and the Number Match family keep the idea alive. Ten Pop plays it free in your browser with nothing to install. The whole game is one gesture — press, drag a box, let go — and one rule: the numbers inside must add up to exactly 10. Two apples (3 and 7), three (2, 3 and 5), or a long line of ones and twos all count.

The board starts packed with 104 apples, and every pop opens space. Empty cells count as nothing, so as the crate clears, boxes can stretch across gaps and catch numbers that used to be far apart. That is where the real thinking starts: a big 9 needs a 1 right next to it, while a cluster of small numbers can be split many ways — take the easy pairs too early and you strand the awkward numbers with nothing to match.

Classic is a two-minute sprint: the clock starts with your first pop, quick pops in a row build combos, and your score is the number of apples you popped. Zen has no clock at all — play at your own pace until no box on the board makes ten, and try to empty as much of the crate as you can. Each mode keeps its own best score.

Every deal is generated fresh and checked before you see it, so a board always opens with plenty of tens to find. Three bulb hints per game show a box that works when you are stuck, and a short video brings more hints or twenty extra seconds. Ten Pop runs in the browser on desktop, phone and tablet, with no sign-up; your best scores are saved, and the Classic leaderboard ranks the biggest two-minute hauls.
