Same challenge for every player. No account needed.
The shelf so far
- Crazy Eights
5min
The classic shedding card game — match rank or suit, eights are wild. Beatable AI, no timer, drop it any time.
- Golf Solitaire
2min
Clear seven columns onto the waste, one rank up or down — aces wrap to kings. Every deal winnable, unlimited undo, and a shared Daily Golf.
- Hangman
30s
Classic classroom hangman on a chalkboard — guess the word in six misses before the chalk snowman is erased. Everyday words, a shared daily, no gallows in sight.
- Dots and Boxes
2min
The pencil-and-paper classic from the back of your school notebook — claim lines, steal boxes, against a bot that plays fair.
What to do while waiting for AI to finish
Your agent is running. Your build is building. You have somewhere between 30 seconds and 3 minutes — not enough to start anything, too long to stare at a spinner. That gap is what this site is for: small, low-pressure games you can drop mid-move the instant your terminal beeps, with ambient sound that keeps playing while you work.
No timers that punish you for leaving. No accounts, no ads chasing you, nothing that nags. Alt-tab away; everything keeps.
“My code’s compiling” has been the sanctioned excuse for goofing off since xkcd #303; “my agent’s running” is its successor. Put the ambience on, layer it under your own playlist, and let the site hold your spot between prompts.
Every game here passes the same test: you can abandon it mid-move with zero penalty and pick it up minutes later.
