Sort the Court has you playing king of a fledgling nation. The majority of the game is answering yes and no questions. Depending on how you answer them, new story threads can open up, and you can explore them with additional questions. As your city flourishes, you can see them in the background, becoming more extensive and beautiful. The ultimate quest in the game is to become a member of the council of kings; however, once you achieve that, Sort the Court still lets you explore the various storylines.

You can play a classic game of Tetris right from your browser. Tetris, of course, is the game where you stack different shaped blocks. The more lines you complete the better your score. This is the official version of the game playable from the official website. The controls of the game are based entirely on the mouse or touchpad. There is no option to switch to keys which is a bit of an annoyance, especially when the speed increases. Tetris is a classic for a good reason, and it is highly addictive and enjoyable to play.

Nightpoint is a zombie shooter where you play one of the many shooters on the map. You start with a pistol, and you have to shoot both the zombies and other players. Attacking other players is, of course, optional. The zombies spawn at regular intervals, and you can have them follow you to get large groups that you can kill together. There are also slightly larger mutant zombies that are harder to kill. The game offers you better and more effective weapons as you rack up more kills. A leader board shows how you compare to other players in the game. The game has Free-For-All or Teams modes as options.

Everyone has heard of Wordle but have you played Quordle? The game takes the Wordle concept to a whole new level of difficulty giving you only nine tries to discover four words. There is a daily Quordle and a practice game that lets you test the game. They have also recently introduced achievement and daily stats to the game, tracking your winning rate and current streak. Quordle can be extra frustrating because of the lack of turns compared to Wordle.

City Guesser is an exciting game where you have to watch a video clip and guess the location. Anything within a few kilometres of the area counts as a win. You can select certain countries, including India, challenge yourself with the entire world or even do the famous monuments. The key in the game is to observe the video closely for clues like car number plates, shop signage or even vehicles. The easiest one to start with is the iconic monuments which take you everywhere, from the Taj Mahal in Agra to the Louvre in Paris.

Townscaper is more of a relaxation game. There is no fundamental objective other than building a small town in the middle of the sea. All you have to do is select the colour of the buildings and click on the water. You can stack buildings to make higher towers to a specific limit. There are no points or progress markers that you have to hit. The game is enjoyable to play and is a perfect stress buster.

Slither is a multiplayer version of Snake. The object here is to eat as many glowing lights as possible and grow your worm/Snake to be the biggest. While there aren't walls like a traditional game of Snake, bumping head first into another snake, no matter how small, will kill your Snake. Similarly, it pays to block the path of more enormous snakes and kill them so you can consume their glowing lights. Again, this game has a low-stress factor, and you can aimlessly play this for hours. Plus, the bright lights and the colourful worms make this very trippy.
