Free quantum games
Play quantum mechanics.
Short, one-shot games where the quantum rules are real. No sign-in, nothing saved: open a game, play it, and take one idea away.

The arcade
8 games, one idea each.
Start with a Starter game if the words are new. Every game explains its rules before you play.

Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe
Every move lives in two squares at once.
Photon Maze
Steer one photon and watch its paths interfere.
Qubit Dial
Turn one qubit onto the target with as few gates as you can.
Grover Race
Find the treasure before your classical rival does.
Spooky Duel
Win a game no classical team can win.
Quantum Lights Out
Nine qubits. Turn every light off.
Entangled Mines
Some mines hide in two places at once.
Teleport Relay
Build the circuit that moves a qubit without sending it.
How the arcade works
Real physics, tiny games.
A real simulation
Every game runs an exact quantum simulation in your browser, so the odds you see are the real odds, not an animation.
One shot
Open a game and play it. There are no scores, streaks or saved progress, and a refresh starts over.
One idea each
Each game is about a single idea. When it ends it tells you what the idea was and where to read more.
No account
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Share a link and a friend can play the same game.
Where to start
Pick by how it feels.

Questions
Before you play.
Do I need an account?
No. Every game opens directly and runs in your browser. There is no sign-in, and nothing asks for your email.
Is anything saved?
No. The games keep no scores, streaks or progress, and they store nothing in your browser. Refresh the page and the game starts over.
Is this a real quantum computer?
It is an exact simulation of the quantum mechanics in each game, running on your device. That is what lets the odds be exact. Real hardware adds noise, and the sample workflows show recorded simulator runs for that reason.
How long does a game take?
Between 4 and 8 minutes. Each one ends with a short explanation of the idea it was about.
Where do I go after the games?
Read the guides for the ideas in more depth, look at a recorded sample workflow, or build your own circuits in the free QFlow Studio plan.
