MEET YOUR NEXT BAD IDEA

A tiny black hole for a very full desktop.

Close All Tabs is a free browser arcade game about digital overload. Move a black hole around a fictional desktop and swallow the work before the 30-second timer runs out. The catch: your chai, salary and weekend deserve to survive. It is a quick work-break game for anyone whose tabs have tabs.

How to play Close all tabs

  1. Hold and drag the black hole to pull work items into it. With a keyboard, move using the arrow keys or WASD and hold Space to suck.
  2. Swallow the work, but keep the chai, salary and weekend out of the hole. Quick-sync requests multiply as you play.
  3. Make it through the round, then save your result card or copy the challenge link for a friend.

Before your next round

Does Close All Tabs close real browser tabs?

No. It is a game on an illustrated desktop. Your actual tabs, files and work applications are untouched.

How do I get a better score?

Collect work items while giving protected objects room. Keep moving instead of holding the hole beside the chai, and watch for multiplying quick-sync requests.

Can friends play the same challenge?

Yes. The result screen offers a challenge link with the same game setup. Your friend plays their own round, and you can compare the saved result cards.

How do I share this challenge on X or Instagram?

Finish your round and use Post to X or Instagram Story on the result screen. Your invite link and its target score lead friends back to this exact game setup. On Instagram, add the copied link as a Link sticker.

Can I protect coffee instead of chai?

Yes. Before starting, use the Protect picker to choose chai, coffee, matcha, water or another drink. We suggest a drink using approximate region information, and you can change it. Every drink has the same points and physics.

Another perfectly good excuse.
