Frequently asked questions
What can I play right now when I am bored?
Open 2048 or Bubble Shooter if you want something absorbing, Balloon Pop or Fruit Slash if you want something mindless, and Solitaire if you want something familiar. All of them start instantly in the browser with no account and no download.
What are good games to play at school or work?
Short, quiet, single-player games work best: 2048, Sudoku, Word Guess, Solitaire and Minesweeper all play fine without sound and pause the moment you stop touching them.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every game runs in the browser tab you already have open, so there is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.
Are there games I can play offline?
You need a connection to load a game the first time, but once it is open it runs entirely on your own device, and your scores are saved locally.
