I Built a Free Browser Games Website Because I Miss Simple Online Games

Most online games today either ask you to install an app, create an account, watch too many ads, or deal with a heavy interface before you can even start playing.

I wanted something simpler.

So I started building Games I Know — a free browser games website where you can open a game and start playing instantly.

Just quick games that work on mobile and desktop.

What is Games I Know?

Games I Know is a small side project where I’m building simple browser-based games with a clean user experience.

Right now, the site includes:

• Tic Tac Toe — play against a friend or bot
• Four in a Row — connect four discs in a row
• Bingo — play Bingo online
• I Know — a trivia-style game for 1 to 5 players

Why I’m building it

I like the idea of games that are easy to share and easy to start.

You should be able to send someone a link and say:

“Open this and let’s play.”

That’s it.

Just a browser link.

What I’m learning

This project is teaching me that building the game is only one part of the work.

The bigger challenge is making the game:

• fast on mobile
• easy to understand
• fun in the first few seconds
• simple enough for anyone to play
• discoverable through SEO
• shareable with friends

I’m also learning how important landing pages are. Each game needs more than just a play screen. It needs a proper page that explains what the game is, how to play, and why someone should try it.

The goal

My goal is to slowly build Games I Know into a collection of simple, fast, no-signup browser games.

Not a huge gaming platform.

Just a clean place for quick games people already know and enjoy.

I’d love feedback from other developers, indie makers, or anyone who has tried growing a small side project from zero traffic.
