DEAD WEB FUN

The interweb is dying, so let’s make a game of it.

Play the web.Claim the throne.Keep the crown.

Join the game

$5 to list your site. Pay more to start higher.

  • You get a spot on the leaderboard. Every player starts at #1 and works down, visiting each site in turn, so the higher you sit, the more real people see your work.
  • You join the game by pasting one line of code on your site. It hides a little egg that only players can see. Your normal visitors see nothing.

How the game works

  1. Players visit each site on the board and hunt for its egg.
  2. Finding it starts a 30-second retro arcade game. Clear it to level up.
  3. Your score is money × skill: what you’ve paid, times your best run.
  4. Your energy drains over time (money halves every 7 days, skill every 3). Power up by paying or playing. We’ll email you before you slip.
Join for $5

No site? Play free for someone else’s and your best run powers them up.

Buy the throne

$5 takes #1 right now.

  • The #1 spot is every player’s first stop. Every run starts on your site.
  • The crown is yours while you hold it, with your reign time on the board and in the Hall of Fame.

Keeping the crown

  1. Your energy drains: money halves every 7 days, skill every 3.
  2. Rivals can pay or play their way past you. Your score is money × skill, so the best defence is both.
  3. Power up any time by paying, play runs to raise your skill, or rally fans to play for you.
  4. We email you the moment you’re about to slip, with how many visitors are at stake.
