Sending someone a link is a small act of communication. The site matters less than what sending it says β which is why a list of twenty links with no context is useless.
So this is sorted by the reply you are hoping for.
If you want them to reply within a minute
Short, immediate, no explanation needed.
- Pointer Pointer β send with no message. The confusion is the point. Desktop only.
- Eel Slap β the reply is always the same and it is always worth it.
- Cat Bounce β safe for absolutely everyone, including your mother.
All in the useless buttons collection.
If you want them to go quiet for ten minutes
- Window Swap β send to someone who is stressed. It works.
- Zoomquilt β an infinitely zooming painting. No instructions required.
- Neal.funβs deep sea β send to anyone who liked documentaries as a child.
If you want an argument
Our quizzes are built for this, because every result has its own link β sending it shows what you got rather than the start of the quiz.
- Are You Chronically In Tabs Or Closed? β reliably divides a group chat.
- The sixteen-type quiz β enough outcomes that four people get four answers.
- The screen time calculator β send it, compare, regret it.
If you want them to lose an afternoon
- Universal Paperclips β do not send this to someone with a deadline.
- The Password Game β starts easy. Does not stay easy.
- Infinite Craft β combine things until you make something nobody has made before.
From the browser games collection.
If you want to play something together
Skribbl.io and Gartic Phone both work over a shared link with no install and no account. Full details in the friends list.
If they are the nostalgic one
- Space Jam (1996) β the original site, untouched since.
- Hamster Dance β still running, still terrible.
- Internet Artifacts β the whole web, object by object.
More in the nostalgia vault.
If you have no idea what they would like
Send them this. It gives a different random page every time, so send three and see which one lands.
Keep going
The main list sorted by time available, or the phone-friendly version if they will open it on the bus.
