NEW · THE 3D ARCADE
Step inside the arcade
Every game on this page is now a glowing cabinet in a neon arcade you can actually walk around. Wander the rooms, step up to a machine and play it right there. The popcorn's free. The sloth who serves it is in no hurry.

Last Quarter NEW
A real pinball table in 3D: a chrome ball, wire ramps, an upper deck with its own flipper, and a glowing half moon. Drop the targets to light the lock, lock two balls for Midnight Multiball, and make your last quarter count.
Best in Shuffle NEW
A dog-show card game starring Akiva the Shih Tzu. Build a deck of grooming, training and show-ring cards, then win over five judges, each tougher than the last, on the way to Best in Show. Everyone gets the same Show of the Day, and Free Play runs as long as you like.
The Casebook NEW
A cozy small-town mystery that runs all week. Each day opens one small puzzle: search a photo, crack a coded note, open a stuck drawer, sort out who was where. Every puzzle hands you a clue card, and on Sunday you name who did it, how, and why. Nobody gets hurt in Thistle Bend.
Junk Drawer COMING MON 10/19
Sixteen photos of everyday things from a kitchen drawer, garage shelf or toy box. Find the four groups of four hiding in the mess. One tile always fits two groups, and only one of them is right. Easy on Monday, sneakier by Saturday, and a themed drawer every Sunday.
Darkroom NEW
A daily picture puzzle with a photo hiding inside. Fill in the grid using the number clues and a real photograph slowly develops behind your squares, like a print in the developer tray. Small grids early in the week, bigger ones by Saturday, and three little prints on Sunday.
Dispatch NEW
The daily cryptogram, made friendly for a phone. A coded cable arrives at your telegraph desk with every letter swapped for another. Work out the swaps and read the quote, then see who said it. Every quote is from a classic book or an old saying, checked word for word against an early printed edition. Big letters, gentle on Monday, harder by Saturday.
Hot Metal NEW
You run a little print shop. Spell words from old wooden letter tiles to fill each job, then cast your best word into a brass slug that comes back as one big tile to build even longer words. Five jobs, about eight minutes, big easy-to-read letters, and the same run for everyone each day.
Lamplighter NEW
A little archipelago of islands, each with a number and an unlit lamp. Build rope bridges between them until every island has exactly as many bridges as its number says, with no bridges crossing and every island joined into one network. Get it right and the lamplighter walks the bridges and lights the whole thing up. A new archipelago every day, and on Sunday three of the numbers hide in the fog.
Doggy Daycare NEW
It’s drop-off time and the yard is split into fenced pens. Put one dog in every row, every column and every pen, and don’t let any two dogs touch, not even corner to corner. Stuck? The Trainer shows you where to look and explains the next step in plain words. Settle every dog and you meet today’s guest. A new board every day, with a two-dog Pack Walk on Sunday.
The Lock NEW
A locked safe, a secret combination and a handful of clues. Each clue tells you how many of its digits are right and whether they’re in the right place, and that’s all you get. Work it out, spin the dials and crack it open in three tries or less. A new lock every day, gentle on Monday and a real brain-burner by Saturday, with a word lock or a double lock on Sunday.
Porchlight NEW
It’s late and every porch light on the street is on. Your job is to turn them all off, but tapping a light also flips the ones above, below and beside it, so every move fixes one light and messes with its neighbors. A new board every day, easy on Monday and hard by Saturday, with a twist on Sunday. Classic mode keeps going when one a day isn’t enough.
Zone Five NEW
Plant a little Wisconsin garden and carry it from the spring thaw all the way to first frost. You get twelve turns on a 5×5 plot of sun and shade, with a fresh forecast every day. Read the weather, pair good neighbors, and build connected pollinator patches before the cold comes in.
Goat Climb NEW
Steer a little mountain goat up an endless run of cliffs, bouncing from ledge to ledge — grab the flowers, ride the spring boulders, and don't look down. The higher you climb, the more the sky rolls from a golden afternoon into a firefly night.
Where in the Fox Cities? NEW
A photo guessing game built from my own photos around the Fox Valley. I show you one of my shots, you guess where I took it, drop a pin on the map or pick the place from a list. Neenah, Menasha, Appleton, Kaukauna, Little Chute, Oshkosh and more.
Dial Town
It's 1996, and the beige box humming in your spare room is the whole town's internet. Answer the mail, work the trouble tickets, and fix real servers in a real terminal — edit the config, restart the daemon, get Marge back online. Six years of a small Wisconsin ISP, one modem at a time, to four very different goodbyes. Inspired by the dial-up ISP the author actually ran.
Neenah Cruise
Take the wheel on the real streets of Neenah, Wisconsin — every road built from the actual map. Run delivery routes to the Kimberly Point Lighthouse and Shattuck Park before the clock runs out, just cruise at your own pace, or drive with a friend — your pup riding shotgun. Day rolls into a lamplit night as you go.
Golden Hour
Grab your camera and head out into a Wisconsin evening. Pan across the scene, line your subject up on the grid, and tap the shutter at just the right moment — a heron lifting off, the sun touching the water, a deer at the treeline. Score your roll, chase three stars, and unlock new places to shoot.
Quint Duel
Live head-to-head word racing. You and a friend get the same hidden five-letter word and race to crack it first — their tiles light up in real time so you can feel them gaining. No one around? Play the computer at Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Token Furnace
Paste in your code and a sweaty little intern shovels every AI token into the furnace — a comedy parody of LLM token usage. Messy code means a bigger fire and a bigger bill; clean code just bores him. You walk away with an itemized receipt, a letter grade, and a loving roast. Nothing ever leaves your browser.
Pounce
You're the red laser dot, and a whole room of kittens is counting on you. Lead them on a happy chase — then remember the one golden rule every cat owner knows: let them catch it. Cozy, heartwarming, and the kindest game in the arcade.
Warm Up
Dusk in the north woods, and the temperature's falling. Feed the fire, gather wood, and sip cocoa to keep yourself warm until sunrise — then chase a high score in the Endless Blizzard.
Ricochet
Bounce, smash, repeat — a neon brick-breaker built for one more round. Chain combos for huge scores, catch falling power-ups (multi-ball, lasers, sticky catch) and blast through endless levels. Works with a finger or a mouse.
QUINT
A new five-letter word puzzle every day — with twists of its own: strike the hidden Live Wire ⚡ to bank streak shields, and beat the weekend Glitch Protocol's corrupted clues. Share your ⚡-studded result grid with friends.
PRISM
Split the light, route every color. Place mirrors, prisms and filters so every target glows — a brand-new light-routing puzzle each day, no words required. Watch out for 🌩 Overload Sundays.
Sloth Hunger
Guide the world's hungriest (and cutest) sloth through jungle mazes. Munch every leaf, dodge four sneaky predators, and grab coffee beans for CAFFEINATED MODE ☕ — then boop the baddies for big points.
Alley Roller
The classic arcade alley roller in full 3D. Swipe to roll, sink the 50, bank the corner 100s. Four modes, leaderboards, and prize tickets.
Voltage
A neon number-merge dropper — part 2048, part Tetris. Drop charged tiles, chain cascading combos, climb the board.
Backgammon
The oldest game in the house. Play a friend online or pass-and-play across the kitchen table.
