Play a random game

A random game generator, not another list

Rando.gg picks a random game and plays it. There is no grid to scroll and nothing to choose from — you press the red button, a game loads in the page, and you press it again when you are done. No download, no account, no installer.

Everything runs in the browser tab, which is why it works on a laptop you do not control, an old phone, or a school Chromebook. If a game does not grab you, the cost of moving on is one button press.

What game should I play?

The honest answer is: whichever one you start. Choosing between hundreds of games from thumbnails is a hard prediction to make and not an enjoyable one, and most people spend longer browsing than they would have spent playing something perfectly good. Let something else choose and give it two minutes.

If you want a steer rather than a coin flip, the what should I play page narrows it down with three questions: how long you have, what device you are on, and whether anyone is with you.

Games to play when you are bored

Boredom is impatience, so the games that work are the ones that start instantly and explain nothing. Arcade games, one-button reaction games and puzzles all qualify. Anything with a loading bar, a tutorial or a video in front of it has already lost you.

Browse by kind if you know roughly what you want — arcade, puzzle, racing, io games, or two player if someone is sitting next to you.

On a phone

Around a quarter of browser games need a keyboard and will load on a phone without responding to anything you do. We record that per game, so the shuffle never draws one you cannot control on a touchscreen. There is a full list of games that work on a phone.

Every game, if you would rather look first

The full catalogue is browsable, and each game has its own page if you want to send one to somebody. Recently added games are on the new page, and there are notes on browser games if you want recommendations rather than randomness.
