Recommendations for games that I can waste time playing in my last 3 days at work this year?

As title really.

Anyone recommend any games I can play sat at my desk on my PC that don't require installing or a lengthy sign up process?

Need something to sink some time in whilst i have minimal work to do in the final days before Xmas!

Is Ebaums World still a thing? Yeah I'm old.

It times like this I fire up that Mammary Memory flash game I've had squirrelled away on my work PC for like 10 years. Assuming you are at work.

Anything that doesnt need to be installed.

I can install things on my work laptop but would rather not!

Something web/browser based?

"play retro games online"

Browser based console emulation is getting pretty decent these days

That reference will test many.

There's some pretty good games on Youtube playables, assuming that's not blocked.

Or if you've got Amazon Prime, can play some stuff via Luma (was playing some borderlands 3 last week, mainly just to see how it ran)

Actually forget my previous response, this is the objectively correct answer

https://geochallenges.me/ has challenge links so you can have unlimited play without an account

Gray2233 · 17 Dec 2025 at 16:43

https://agar.io/ is oddly addicting and can be played via browser.

i call that : stress testing the network and checking performance and the security & reporting system at the same time

Luna is prob best bet.

I WFH, so it was only really my own WiFi that I was stress testing

Oh and Luna, not Luma.... that's what I meant (think it was a typo rather than a moment of confusion

)

I used to spend countless hours playing the N+ flash game at work when I worked in a call centre.

Tons of free browser based games at crazygames.com if you need something to kill time.
