Step 1: Play Games
playGames

We have the very best games the internet has to offer - from puzzle games like Tetris and Fantastic Contraption, to shooters like Sniper: Year One and Palisade Guardian. We add a new game every weekday, and every game is hand picked so you don't have to waste time playing bad games.

Step 2: Earn Points

While you play you automatically earn points that are used to win prizes. Every two minutes spent playing a game will net you a point, commenting on games will give you a point, and referring a friend using the link in your profile will give you ten points!

Step 3: Win Prizes

Put those newly earned points to good use! It works like a raffle - each prize has a "pot," and the more points you put towards that prize the higher your chances are of winning. We add new prizes every week, so you'll never know what might show up! Best of all, it's completely free: no shipping, no nothing!

"All of the games here really help me pass time between classes, and I admit sometimes during classes too. I usually waste time here instead of on Facebook."
