Frequently asked questions

What's the fastest way to beat boredom online?
Pick any link on this page. They open in your browser, load in seconds and ask nothing of you. The pointless fun and visual toys are the quickest dopamine hit.
Is everything here free?
Yes. Every site we link to is free to use. We skip anything hidden behind a paywall or a forced signup.
Do I need to make an account anywhere?
Almost never. Most of the sites we list let you start straight away. We try to flag the few that ask for an email so you know what to expect.
Will this work on my phone?
Most of it. Mini games, trivia, web comics and quick reads are mobile friendly. A handful of simulations and creative tools feel better on a laptop.
Is it safe to open at work?
We avoid anything explicit, but office humor varies. The trivia, geography and reading sections are usually safe with your screen visible to coworkers.
