These are free websites for when you want to play, poke around or be surprised for a few minutes. They cover browser games, toys you can fiddle with, art and music makers, maps to explore and plain oddities. The good ones load instantly, need no sign-up and make you want another go. The weak ones are one-joke pages or are buried under ads. Pick by mood: a puzzle, something calm or something silly.
