Free Games for Casual Players
You have ten minutes and no patience for a tutorial. These are the games on Zabzoo you can open in a tab, understand in the first minute, and walk away from without losing anything.

We Become What We Behold
A minimalist thought experiment about media and self-fulfilling stereotypes: secretly photograph people going about their day, broadcast the shots, and watch how being watched changes what they become. Public domain, from the creator of The Evolution of Trust.
Opens in your browser — no download, no account needed.
What you get
One click in
Every game runs in the tab you already have open. Nothing to download, no launcher, no account needed to press play.
Nothing to learn first
These are the games with no systems layered on top. If you've played anything before, you already know enough to start.
Stop whenever
A run ends when you close the tab. Sign in if you want your favourites and play history kept — nothing here punishes you for not bothering.
More games to pick up cold
Chosen by what they don't ask of you: no upgrade trees, no build orders, no meta to read up on before you're any good.
