Try your timing or reactions with two games that take only a few controls to learn.
Ten Seconds
Count ten seconds in your head, then press STOP without watching a clock. See your error in milliseconds and try to improve it on your next attempt.
Rotary Phone Reaction
Hold the receiver down, wait for the bell, then let go as quickly as you can. The game measures your reaction time in milliseconds.
Think, solve and spot
Take your time with numbers, words, pictures and shapes.
Number Place
Fill a 9×9 grid so each row, column and 3×3 block contains every digit from 1 to 9 once. Choose from three difficulty levels and resume an unfinished puzzle in the same browser.
Spot the Difference
Compare two illustrations and spot changes in shape, color, number and more. Pick a difficulty level and use a hint when you get stuck.
Paper Fold
Drag the paper across the dotted creases to match the model shape. Work out the order of your folds while staying within the allowed number.
Crossword
Read the clues and fill in the words across and down using your keyboard or the on-screen keys. The English edition uses English words; the Japanese edition uses katakana answers.
Desk games and board play
Aim a flick or a throw in a classroom game, or plan your next move on the Reversi board.
Eraser Drop
Pull back and release your eraser to flick it across a school desk. Adjust your aim and strength to knock the computer’s eraser off the edge.
Classroom Note Toss
Toss a folded note onto your friend’s desk while the teacher faces the board. Watch the teacher’s glances, then choose the timing, direction and strength of your throw.
Ruler Battle
Flick the middle of your ruler for a straight push or an end for a spin. Play against the computer and try to knock its ruler off the desk or land yours on top.
Reversi
Trap your opponent’s discs between your own to flip them on an 8×8 board. Play against the computer or take turns with another person on one device.
Notes and piano keys
Compare the pitch of two notes or remember a short sequence on the piano.
Pitch Guess
Listen to two notes and decide whether the second is higher, the same or lower. This game relies on sound, so turn the sound on before playing.
Piano Copycat
Remember a short melody and the keys that light up, then play them back in order. You can also follow the lights with the sound off.
Draw and unwind
Choose a blackboard, a sheet of paper or the sand as your canvas.
Chalkboard Doodle
Draw with chalk and wipe the board with an eraser. Trace dotted shapes, clean the board against the clock, or choose the free-drawing mode.
Sketchbook
Draw freely with pens, pencils and brushes, choosing your colors and stroke widths. Work is saved in this device’s browser, and you can export a PNG image or an editable drawing file.
Sand Drawing
Draw lines in the sand with your finger or mouse, then call a wave to smooth them away. A quiet choice for drawing and starting again, without a score to chase.
How to get started
- Choose a game name to open its page on Rakuruno Games.
- Read the instructions and use the play or start control. The control labels vary by game.
- Use your mouse or touch screen. Games with keyboard controls show the available keys on screen.
Sound and saved progress
Pitch Guess needs sound because you answer by listening. Piano Copycat also works with sound off: follow the keys that light up.
What gets saved varies by game. Number Place saves puzzle progress and Sketchbook saves drawings in the browser on the same device. Chalkboard Doodle drawings disappear when you reload the page.
Clearing browser data can remove saved progress and artwork. Keep important Sketchbook drawings by exporting an image or an editable drawing file. See each game’s storage information for details.
