ClassicWorks is built for evergreen browser games

ClassicWorks gives traditional games a focused, accessible, and durable home in the browser. Minesweeper, 2048, and Four in a Row are playable now, with a shared platform ready for future classics.

Built for careful play

The project favors readable interfaces, fast startup, consistent controls, responsive boards, and original help content. Minesweeper supports mouse, touch, and keyboard play. In 2048, players can move with arrow keys, W A S D, touchscreen swipes, or visible directional buttons. Four in a Row provides seven explicit column controls for local two-player turns, with pointer, touch, arrow-key, and number-key input.

Numbered games

Numbered Minesweeper games use a deterministic generator. A game number, difficulty, and generator version reproduce the same board and safe opening for every player. This makes shared challenges possible without storing every board in a database.

Records and privacy

No account is required. Preferences and personal statistics stay in the player's browser. 2048 and Four in a Row sessions, undo history, and aggregate results also remain local and are never submitted to a public leaderboard. When a numbered Minesweeper game is completed, the game number, difficulty, generator version, and completion time are submitted to the shared record service so a faster community time can replace the current best.

Current times for any game number can be viewed on the Community Records page.

ClassicWorks is hosted on Cloudflare, which provides aggregate edge request measurements. Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled for aggregate page and performance measurements, with visitor data in the EU excluded from browser-beacon collection. Advertising spaces are reserved in the game layout, but no advertising network is currently loaded. Full details are available in the Privacy Policy.

An evolving collection

New games and shared features will be added only when they are ready to meet the same standards for clarity, responsiveness, accessibility, and reliable browser play.
