I Built a Free Browser Games Website Because I Miss Simple Online Games
Most online games today either ask you to install an app, create an account, watch too many ads, or deal with a heavy interface before you can even start playing.
I wanted something simpler.
So I started building Games I Know — a free browser games website where you can open a game and start playing instantly.
No download.
No signup.
No unnecessary steps.
Just quick games that work on mobile and desktop.
What is Games I Know?
Games I Know is a small side project where I’m building simple browser-based games with a clean user experience.
Right now, the site includes:
- Tic Tac Toe — play against a friend or bot
- Four in a Row — connect four discs in a row
- Bingo — play Bingo online
- I Know — a trivia-style game for 1 to 5 players
Why I’m building it
I like the idea of games that are easy to share and easy to start.
You should be able to send someone a link and say:
“Open this and let’s play.”
That’s it.
No app store.
No login screen.
No setup.
Just a browser link.
What I’m learning
This project is teaching me that building the game is only one part of the work.
The bigger challenge is making the game:
- fast on mobile
- easy to understand
- fun in the first few seconds
- simple enough for anyone to play
- discoverable through SEO
- shareable with friends
I’m also learning how important landing pages are. Each game needs more than just a play screen. It needs a proper page that explains what the game is, how to play, and why someone should try it.
The goal
My goal is to slowly build Games I Know into a collection of simple, fast, no-signup browser games.
Not a huge gaming platform.
Just a clean place for quick games people already know and enjoy.
You can try it here:
I’d love feedback from other developers, indie makers, or anyone who has tried growing a small side project from zero traffic.
