Things to do when you're bored at work

Every job has its dead air. The meeting that should have been an email, the loading bar, the 3 PM slump. These games and sites are quiet, safe for work, and easy to close in half a second when footsteps approach. One of our categories is literally built to make you look busy.

Frequently asked questions

Is all of this safe for work?

The whole site is, we keep it clean on purpose. What we cannot control is how a bright cartoon game looks on your screen when someone walks past, so pick your moment.

What is the look productive category?

Sites that look like real work from two metres away. Fake dashboards, scrolling code, busy spreadsheets. Pure camouflage, zero output.

Can I play these with the sound off?

Yes. Card games, word puzzles and idle clickers are silent anyway, and the rest work fine muted. No open plan office was harmed.

Something for a quick five minute break?

A round of solitaire, the daily word puzzle or a short trivia quiz. All of them end on their own, which makes them easier to walk away from than a scroll feed.

Will these run on a locked-down work laptop?

There is nothing to install, so no admin rights needed. Corporate filters do block some sites, and if one is blocked there are plenty of others on this page.
