The line-up

Four classics, ready when you are

Every game opens on its own page and plays instantly. Free, no sign-up, and comfortable on a phone, a tablet, or a full-size screen.

A snake winding across a grid toward its food. Arcade · Reflexes Snake Guide the snake around the board, gobble the dots, and grow longer and longer — just don't cross your own tail. Steer with the arrows, a swipe, or the on-screen pad. Slither in → A checkers board with blue and amber pieces. Board · vs. computer Checkers The timeless game of diagonal moves and daring jumps. Play the blue pieces against a thoughtful computer, chain your captures, and crown a king. Take a seat → A Four in a Row board with blue and amber discs. Board · vs. computer Four in a Row Drop your discs and be the first to line up four in a row — across, up, or on the diagonal. Simple to pick up, and the computer won't let a threat slide. Drop a disc → Falling tetromino blocks. Arcade · Puzzle Blocks The falling-blocks classic. Slide and rotate each piece, pack the rows tight, and clear full lines for points as the stack creeps higher. Start stacking →
