About these games

Quick games get to the point: a round that lasts a minute or a few, a one tap arcade game or a short challenge, for a queue, a bus ride or a spare moment. This page groups games whose listings call them quick, short or suited to a short break; it doesn't check how long a game takes.

Every one of these quick phone games is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay, which means its listing says it has touch controls. Tap a game to see its page and controls, then Play opens it on its creator's site in your browser.

Questions

What are the most played quick phone games?
By plays on Foundplay: Don't Open Drawer Nine, HALDANE-4, Bark to the Future, Boing Beat — One-Tap Rhythm Jump Game | Arcade Whale and World Type Cup.
How long does a quick game take?
It varies by game and player. These are games whose listings call them quick, short or suited to a brief session, and Foundplay doesn't time them.
Are there daily games that take a few minutes?
Foundplay's Daily page lists games with a new challenge every day. Check a game's page there for touch controls before you play on a phone.
Will these games work on my phone?
Each one is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay because its listing says it has touch controls. That isn't a test on every phone, so check the game's page for its controls and any browser needs before you play.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Each game opens in your phone's browser on the site where it's published, with nothing to install from an app store.
Are these games free?
Yes. Every game here is free to play in a browser. A few show ads or sell extras on their own sites.
Do they work on iPhone and Android?
They open in phone browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Touch controls don't promise that every phone can run every game: 3D games can need a newer phone and an up to date browser.
