Tic-tac-toe
Three in a row. You know the drill.
Five-minute games
A short break can be enough for a round of tic-tac-toe, a mini sudoku or a colour melody. These picks have an estimated five-minute play time in the Duemello catalogue; your round may be shorter or longer.
Start with one of these
Four in a row
Drop a heart and connect four.
Ping-pong
Fast first-to-five matches against the computer or your person in a private room.
Memory sequence
Take turns repeating a growing colour melody with your person.
Mini sudoku
A friendly 4 × 4 number puzzle.
Memory lane
Find the matching pairs of little happy things.
Quick heartbeat
Wait for green, then see who has the fastest hands.
Science trivia
Over 1,000 science, space and everyday discovery questions. Six fresh questions per level.
Choose a clear finish
A first-to-five ping-pong match or a six-question quiz gives you an obvious stopping point. If you want something less competitive, solve one mini sudoku together.
Make the most of a small gap
Open a game before inviting your friend, agree on one round and keep the rules simple. When you have more time, move to the full activity directory for drawing, conversations and longer board games.
A few useful answers
Are these games free?
The browser games and activities linked here are free to open. Optional digital gifts in the shop are separate purchases.
Do I need an account or an app?
You can open the games in a browser without a download or an email account. Private play uses an invitation to connect one other device.
How many devices can join a private room?
A private room connects two devices. Larger groups can take turns or play in two teams around those devices.
Plan your time together
A cooperative game night
Choose a shared challenge that gives both people something to do. This plan uses Duemello’s cooperative games to move from simple coordination to roles where one player needs the other’s directions.

Plan a small evening that is easy to start and easy to finish. This three-part plan mixes a quick match, a shared drawing and a conversation, with time to talk between activities.
Read the guideA family game night
This plan uses a memory game, a drawing prompt and a small puzzle. It works around one screen or two connected devices, with people taking turns rather than needing an account each.
Read the guideA game night with friends
Choose the format before choosing the games. Duemello private rooms connect two devices, which works for two friends or two teams. A larger group can watch, swap the person controlling a device, and use a separate group call.
