Quick games: free online games for a short break

Quick games fit the gaps in a day: two minutes before a meeting, five in a queue, ten on a train. Every game here is free, runs in your browser with no download and keeps your progress, so you can stop the moment the break is over and pick up later.

Lengths marked "about" are our estimates from the game rules; the others are fixed by the rules themselves. We started measuring real play time on 14 October 2026 and will replace the estimates with averages once enough people have played.

Got two minutes?

Stackrise and the Apex Rider time attack are built for this: one is a run of taps until the tower slips, the other a fixed ninety seconds on the motorbike. A single Arrowscape or Outline level fits too, and both save the moment the level is done.

Got five minutes?

Five minutes buys a Dotweave board or a Huesort level, a whole Dusk Duel match (first to two rounds of 60 seconds), a Bowfall level, or a full Jetbrawl match against bots or friends, which ends at five minutes or twenty kills.

Got ten minutes or more?

Longer breaks suit the games without a clock. A Gridbloom game or a Cosmojar jar runs until the board fills, Jugnu II runs as long as you keep the firefly's light alive, and the big 15x15 Inkgrid murals reward a proper sit-down.
