About the game

A silly 1v1 on a fake retro computer called BloopOS. One player is the mouse cursor, trying to click OK. The other is the computer, throwing pop-ups, fake OK buttons, spinning hourglasses and "Are you sure?" chains. Then you swap.

How to play

  1. As the Cursor, click every real OK button before time runs out.
  2. As the Computer, spend energy on pop-ups, fake buttons and freezes.
  3. Swap roles. Most OKs clicked wins.

Play together

Two players on one computer (mouse against keys), or play against the bot on easy, normal or hard.

Is it real?

Anyone who has used an old computer will recognise the pop-ups and the frozen "Not Responding" window. Now you get to be the annoying one.

Good for

Quick reactions and reading carefully, wrapped up in a silly game you can finish in a few minutes.

Questions grown-ups ask

Do I need to download anything?

No. Every game runs right in your web browser. Open the page and play.

Are there ads?

No. There are no ads anywhere in the arcade, so kids can play without pop-ups or anything to click away.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Every game is built for touch screens first, in portrait and landscape, and also works with a mouse and keyboard on a computer.

Is it OK for kids?

Yes. The games are made for kids and the grown-ups who play with them. Spooky games stay cute: ghosts giggle and say boo, nothing gory or mean.

Do we need an account?

Yes, a NerdHomies account lets you play every game and keeps your stars and progress. It only takes a few seconds to make one.

How much does it cost?

The arcade is in early access, and right now every game is included with your account. We will always tell members before anything changes.

Can we play together?

Most games have a two-player pass-the-phone mode, and a few are head-to-head or party games for up to six.
