About the games

How a game gets On This Page

A short list is only useful if someone keeps it honest. These are the tests every game here has passed.

A proper classic

Chess, Sudoku, 2048: games that have been played by millions and need no explanation. Nothing here is a demo or a one-off novelty.

Runs on this site

Every game is hosted here and opens in the page you are on. No download, no plug-in, no sign-up.

Open foundations

Built on established open-source components and a public collection of puzzle positions, checked by us.

Play with a friend

In chess, pass the phone or the mouse back and forth. The other three are solo games.

Nothing stored

No accounts and no sign-up. 2048 and Sudoku keep your current grid in your own browser, nothing else.

The board opens here

No new tab, no other website. The game loads on this page and works with a mouse, a keyboard or your thumb.

3

Play, then come back

When a game ends you can start a new one straight away. 2048 and Sudoku keep your grid in your browser.

Yes. All four games adapt to a small screen and take touch input: tap a piece and then its square, swipe the 2048 board, tap a Sudoku cell and then a digit.

They run on this website. Chess uses an open-source rules library and engine, the puzzles come from a public collection of positions from real games, and 2048 is the original open-source game. No other site is involved when you play.

No. has no sign-up at all. 2048 and Sudoku remember your current grid in your own browser, and that is the only thing stored anywhere.
