5-minute games — play free online
This collection is built on one trait only, the length of a round. Nothing here needs an hour or a save file: every game is meant to be opened in a queue, on a break, or while the kettle boils, and closed without feeling unfinished.
The ones that explain themselves in a single sentence come first. Arkanoid bounces a ball off a paddle to clear the bricks, Snake grows without biting itself, and runners like T-Rex or the dinosaur ask for one jump over each obstacle. There is nothing to learn beforehand: the rules are visible on the first screen and losing costs nothing.

Questions and answers
What does "5 minutes" mean here?
It is the length of one round, not how long you may keep playing. You lose, you start again, and no progress is lost because there is none: every round stands on its own.
Do I need to install or sign up?
No. The games open on the page and start at once, on a phone as well.
Can I play offline?
No, the page loads from the network. These games use very little data though, since the graphics are light two-dimensional or simple three-dimensional with no downloads.
