Snail Race

There is one snail and one flag. The snail will reach the flag in roughly twelve minutes. A timer records how much of your life you spent on this.

The snail has not started. It is in no hurry.

How to play

  1. Press start.
  2. Watch the snail.
  3. Leave whenever you like. The snail will not notice.

How it works

The snail moves on a fixed timer rather than an animation loop, so it keeps correct pace even if you switch tabs. Your watch time is kept in your browser only, so you can see your own record but nobody else can.

Why this exists

Patience is a virtue and this is the least rewarding way to practise it.
