Games
Initfinity includes 52 single-player games for a break between flows. They run entirely in your browser, work without an account, and never send your scores or progress anywhere.
Open a game
- Open a new tab and choose Game.
- Pick a game from the lobby. It opens in that tab, and the tab takes the game's name.
- Choose All games to return to the lobby. Your place in the game is saved, so you can come back to it.
Each game also has a public page at /games on the website, with how-to-play notes and a button that opens the game in the app.
Find and arrange games
- Search filters the lobby by name or description. Accents and capital letters are ignored, and every word you type must match.
- Reorder by dragging a card. On touch screens, press and hold a card briefly, then drag. With a keyboard, Tab to the grip button in a card's corner, press Space to pick it up, move it with the arrow keys, and press Space to drop it.
- The default order is alphabetical in your language. Reset order brings it back.
- Dragging is turned off while a search is active.

Controls
- Keyboard: arrow keys move or aim, Space or Enter acts, and P or Escape pauses arcade games. Grid puzzles use the arrow keys to move between cells.
- Touch: tap, swipe or drag as each game describes. Games that need steering show on-screen buttons on touch devices. In Minefield, press and hold a square to flag it.
- Pointer: click or drag where it makes sense, such as the Paddle Rally paddle.
Scores, saves and daily puzzles
- Best scores, streaks and unfinished games are saved on this device only. Clearing your browser data erases them, and they do not follow you to another device or browser.
- Best scores appear on the game's card in the lobby.
- When a game ends, a bar offers Play again or All games. Play again starts fresh and discards the saved game.
- Most puzzle, word and card games offer a daily deal that is the same for everyone on a given date (for example Sudoku, Word Grid, Klondike and Nonogram), with a streak that counts consecutive days.
Accessibility and settings
Two settings sit at the top of the lobby:
- Colorblind-friendly colors swaps in a palette that does not rely on red and green. Games never use color as the only signal; shapes, numbers or patterns carry the same information.
- Sound effects turns on short synthesized sounds for wins, losses and some actions. It is off by default.
Animations follow your system's reduce motion setting. Every control has a visible keyboard focus ring, and touch targets are enlarged on touch screens. Arcade games that depend on movement and timing, such as Paddle Rally and Alien Swarm, are not playable with a screen reader; board and puzzle games announce changes to assistive technology.
Troubleshooting
- A saved game or score is gone: browser data was cleared, or you are in a private window or another browser. Progress is stored per browser.
- No sound: turn on Sound effects in the lobby and check that your device is not muted.
- The lobby order resets: the order is stored in your browser like scores, so it resets when that data is cleared.
