What Belongs Here

This is for short, low-friction play: find the object, one-minute pattern puzzles, small Sudoku boards, mini logic grids, word ladders, AI hallucination spotting, and tiny map hunts.

The tone should be playful, not desperate for engagement. A good game here teaches one trick, reveals one taste, or gives the visitor a small win before sending them back to the larger archive.

Growth Rules

Small widgets can live on the page when they load fast and work without accounts. Heavier games, persistent progress, leaderboards, or AI apps need a separate app boundary.

Every game needs keyboard support, screen-reader text, reduced-motion behavior, mobile layout, and a no-login fallback. Streaks can wait.
