Small games, played in short bursts

TapTicket is a pocket arcade. There are twenty games here, and almost all of them are over in under a minute. Each one is built around a single action: a tap, a hold or a slide of the finger. You can learn any of them in the time it takes to read this sentence, and the challenge is doing it well.

They are all HTML5 games, so they run straight in your browser. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is installed, and they work the same on a phone in one hand as on a laptop with a mouse.

Your scores, kept on your ticket

Every game remembers your best score, and the scoreboard on this page lists them. Those numbers are saved in your own browser. We do not ask you to sign in, and your scores are not sent anywhere. Clear your browser data and the board starts again from nothing.

Four kinds of game

The dodging games are about steering clear: Gap Runner, Cave Copter and friends. The aiming games, such as Spin Shot, reward waiting for the right moment. The timing games ask for one well-judged tap, as in Ring Snap. And the speed games, from Tap Sprint to Green Light, measure how quickly you can see and respond.

Fair by design

Nothing here is rigged to make you lose, and no game asks for anything but your attention. When a run ends, it is because of something you did, and you can go again with one tap. Each game page explains the rules in three lines and then goes into how to get better at it.
