Tiny logic and number games I built for my kids▲87
I’ve been building a few small games to help kids (and curious adults) build reasoning and logic skills. Think Word Ladder, Prime Hunter, Math Maze ,all in the browser, no installs. Would love feedback or suggestions for new types of puzzles

An endless scrolling word search game▲25
I built a procedurally generated word-search game where the puzzle never ends - as you scroll, the grid expands infinitely and new words appear. It’s designed to be quick to pick up, satisfying to play, and a little addictive. The core game works without an account using the pre-defined games, but signing up allows you to generate games using any topic you can think of. I’d love feedback on gameplay, performance, and whether the endless format feels engaging over time. If you try it, I’d really appreciate any bug reports or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Mongo Murder Mystery – Can You Find Out Whodunnit?▲6
What: So I built this small (and ofc free) web-based interactive game where folks solve a murder mystery while learning MongoDB commands and concepts. It combines a fun storyline with practical lessons to help you practice querying and navigating data. It’s not a full tutorial—more like a self-directed exercise with an optional walkthrough to guide you. Motivation: Over the holidays, I wanted to teach MongoDB basics to my 8th-grade nephew in an interactive and exciting way. I was inspired by the popular SQL Murder Mystery and thought, “Why not create something similar for MongoDB?” I tested…
