How it works

No launcher, no client, no account.

  1. Pick a game

    Open the catalogue and choose something that fits the time you have.

  2. Play in the tab

    Games run in the browser. A keyboard and a trackpad are both fine, and everything scales to phone screens.

  3. Come back later

    Progress is kept locally in your browser, so a half-finished board is still there tomorrow.

Questions people ask

Is everything really free?

Yes. The catalogue is a hobby project, there are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. There are also no ads on the site.

Do I need an account?

No. The Profile button opens a demo login: it keeps a placeholder session in this browser tab and never creates a real account.

Does it work on a phone?

All games are responsive and work with touch controls. A few puzzle grids are easier with a slightly larger screen, but nothing is desktop-only.

How do you choose the games?

Short sessions, readable rules and no dark patterns. If a game needs a tutorial longer than a minute, it does not make the list.
