About the game

A daily 90-second climb up a tall tower. You carry planks and drop them under your feet to climb higher, and every plank earlier climbers dropped stays in the tower for you. Ghosts of past climbs replay beside you, and you can stand on them too.

How to play

  1. Climb as high as you can in 90 seconds.
  2. Drop your planks under your feet to reach higher ledges.
  3. Use planks and ghosts left by earlier climbers, then share your height.

Play together

A new tower every day, so you can compare heights with friends.

Good for

Timing and planning, 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.
