A quiet arcade,
made by hand.
404 skill is a free collection of 75 browser games, built for short, focused sessions. Open a game, play a round, close the tab. No sign-up, no install, and no streak to protect.
What you'll find here
The games are grouped into word games, logic puzzles, arcade games, board & card games, spatial puzzles, and memory games. Each game page explains the rules in three short steps, with a FAQ underneath for the details, so you can pick up a new puzzle without guessing at the controls.
Classic formats, built here. Many of the games are timeless formats that belong to no one — Sudoku, Minesweeper, Solitaire, Mahjong, Reversi, Four in a Row. Others are puzzle styles that newspapers and apps made popular. Every game here is its own implementation, not an embed or a copy of someone else's code, and 404 skill is not affiliated with any of the publishers whose formats inspired them.
Everything runs in your browser. There is nothing to download. Settings, statistics and best scores are saved on your device, and the online scoreboards on some games only hear from you if you press Submit.
Who runs it
404 skill is an independent project built and run by Mohammad Shehadeh. More of Mohammad's work lives at mohammadshehadeh.com. New games and fixes ship in numbered releases, each one described on the changelog.
How it's paid for
Every game is free to play. For now, Mohammad pays for the site out of pocket, and a coffee from a player now and then is always appreciated. Display ads from Google AdSense are on the way; once they go live, they'll sit around the games, never inside them, and never interrupt a round. The privacy page explains how ad cookies work and how to turn off personalized ads.
