Games the open web can play.

A games room built entirely on keyless public APIs: a trivia reactor, the full Pokédex type-effectiveness matrix and evolution trees, an oracle that guesses your age and origin from your name, a deterministic avatar forge, the xkcd archive, a cocktail lab and an endless wander through Wikipedia.

PARL-002 ready
Word Search

A real word-search generator and player: pick a theme and a hidden word list is packed into a letter grid along all eight compass directions — forwards, backwards and diagonal — with the gaps sprinkled in decoy letters, then you click-drag across straight runs to snap-select and cross off every word against a ticking best-time clock.

PARL-003 ready
Word Ladder

Climb from one word to another a single letter at a time — each rung a real word, every puzzle solvable, with the shortest ladder waiting to be found.

PARL-004 ready
Typing Race

A keyboard sprint against a ghost pacer — type a curated literary passage as the words light up correct or wrong, and try to out-run a metronome cruising at your chosen words-per-minute.

PARL-005 ready
Sudoku

A full Sudoku studio: a backtracking generator fills a complete grid, then carves cells away while a uniqueness-checking solver guarantees exactly one answer — play with pencil marks, conflict flagging, number highlighting, a logical hint, an instant solve, undo and a timer, across four difficulties seeded so any puzzle replays.

PARL-006 ready
Sliding Puzzle

The classic n-puzzle, rebuilt: slide numbered tiles — or a slice of a procedurally-generated flow-field painting that is different every game — into the empty cell to restore order, with a shuffle that is provably always solvable, whole-row shoves, a smart hint, and a confetti finish.

PARL-007 ready
Simon Says

The classic memory duel: four glowing pads sing a growing melody of light and tone, and you must echo it back note-for-note — each round adds a step, with strict, speed, and 6-or-9-pad modes to push your recall past breaking.

PARL-008 ready
Reaction Time

A reflex arena that clocks the exact millisecond your finger answers the green flash — best-of-five averaged, ranked against the human bell curve, with a Go/No-Go trap and a choose-a-side twist.

parlor /parlor/reaction-time
PARL-009 ready
Math Sprint

A breakneck mental-arithmetic arena: clean-integer sums, differences, products and quotients that ramp from single digits to two-step chains as you streak — score by speed, accuracy and an escalating combo, with a Sprint clock, a Marathon survival run and per-operation drills.

PARL-010 ready
Lights Out

The classic toggle puzzle, with its secret revealed: pressing a cell flips it and its four neighbors, and your job is to darken the whole grid — but every board is really a linear system over GF(2), so a one-click SOLVE computes the minimal press pattern by Gaussian elimination, and a light-chasing demo shows why some sizes leave boards you can never clear.

Higher or Lower

The addictive guessing game, played with the whole planet — two nations face off and you call whether the challenger ranks higher or lower by population or land, chasing one endless streak.

Great-Circle Guess

A geography game: two world cities are pinned on the map — guess the great-circle distance between them, then watch the haversine arc sweep across and score by how close you came.

Flag Memory

A concentration game stitched from the world’s flags — flip the cards two at a time, hold every matching pair in your head, and clear the board in as few moves as you can.

Country Quiz

A fast-fire geography gauntlet drawn live from the world’s 250 nations — name capitals, read flags blind, weigh populations and trace borders, ten questions to a round.

Color Match

A perception arena that probes your eye for color — spot the odd swatch in a grid, mix RGB to chase a target, and recall a flashed hue from a lineup, all scored by true CIELAB ΔE color distance as the differences shrink toward your just-noticeable limit.

parlor /parlor/color-match
PARL-016 ready
Capital Match

A timed memory duel against the atlas — pair each flag with its capital before the clock runs down, with rounds that pile on more nations and harder regions the longer your streak survives.
