⏳ Hold in your browser

The browser is the most underrated game console ever shipped: it's already on every device you own, it updates itself, and it starts games in seconds. Hold was built for it — not ported to it — which is why a internal time estimation duel feels identical on a gaming PC and a mid-range phone.

One game, every device

Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge; Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook — same rounds, same scoring, same leaderboards. Start a duel on your laptop, answer a rematch from your phone in a queue. Nothing syncs because nothing needs to: the game lives at one URL and meets you wherever you open it.

Why browser-native suits Hold

A game about internal time estimation needs instant availability more than it needs a 4K install. The browser delivers exactly that trade: page-load in seconds, input latency low enough to measure milliseconds honestly, and a share model — plain links — that turns any chat thread into an arena. The heaviest thing about the whole site is your opponent's ego.

How to play Hold

  1. Press and hold the block.
  2. Count three seconds in your head — there's no visible timer.
  3. Release when you believe exactly 3.000 s have passed.
  4. Closest to perfect wins the round; your actual time is revealed after release.
