FOR A BREAK AT YOUR DESK
Games to play at work
Small, silent games for a real break between tasks. Each one takes under two minutes, keeps a visible break timer, and one press of Esc swaps it for a plain document. Then you go back to work.
- Silent: no game here makes sound
- Visible break timer so a break stays a break
- Esc hides the game behind a plain document
- No sign-up, nothing to install

Questions
Will it make noise?
No. None of these games play sound, so you can play in an open office or on a call with your camera off.
How do I hide the game quickly?
Press Esc, or the Hide screen button. The page is covered by a plain document. Press Esc again or click to come back.
How long is a round?
Between 20 seconds and about a minute. The timer at the top shows how long you have been on break.
Do I need to install or sign up?
No. Everything runs in the browser tab. There is no account and your scores stay in your browser.
