About One Hand Games

One-hand games are playable with a thumb alone. All the controls sit within reach of one hand on a phone held upright, so you can play while holding a coffee, standing on a train, or lying on your side.

Designing for one hand affects everything: buttons are large and low on the screen, swipes are short, and nothing important is placed in the top corners. On a desktop the same games play comfortably with a mouse and nothing else.

These are the site's commute and waiting-room games. Sessions are short by design, progress is saved on the device the moment a round ends, and closing the tab mid-game costs nothing.
