⏳ Hold with no download

The app-store ritual — search, download 200 MB, create account, allow notifications, watch tutorial — takes longer than an entire Hold session. blocks.pw skips the ritual: the page is the game. Tap a link, and you're testing internal time estimation before an app store would have finished asking for permissions.

Why no-download matters more than it sounds

Zero megabytes of storage on a phone that's perpetually full. Zero updates to babysit. Zero "this app is no longer compatible with your device". And the killer feature for a duel game: when you send someone a challenge link, they can accept it immediately — no "download the app first" wall for your opponent to bounce off. Every install step between a challenge and a rematch loses half the challengers.

Instant, but complete

No-download doesn't mean demo: the browser version is the whole game — full Hold, all nine duel mini-games, solo modes, world and country leaderboards, ELO. It loads light (the whole thing weighs less than one photo), runs on years-old phones, and works the same on the next device you open it from.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to play Hold?

Nothing — no app, no extension, no plugin. It runs entirely in your browser on phone, tablet or computer.

How much data does a session use?

Less than a minute of social-media video. After the first light load, rounds barely sip data.

Is the no-download version cut down?

No — it's the only version, and it's complete: all modes, duels, and leaderboards included.
