You've got a laptop, a credit card, and an opinion about AGI. Time to found your own AI lab. OpenIdle is a satirical idle game about the race to artificial general intelligence โ€” and the way the finish line keeps politely moving. Found a company in a garage, train a model lineage, hire a workforce, generate hype, and allocate compute, data, and influence as you climb toward a post-AGI prestige loop. Hire, ship, hype, rebalance, and watch the target move with institutional grace. Cross an AGI goalpost and the definition quietly advances. Prestige, refound, and run the same race a little sharper. The numbers go up. The goalposts go further. - Bootstrap an AI lab from a garage to a sprawling research org - Train a model line with a personality โ€” and opinions - Split compute, data, and influence across competing priorities - Ride market events, generate hype, ship on schedule - Cross AGI goalposts that refuse to hold still - Prestige into a faster, stranger version of the loop All companies and models depicted are fictional. The compute, tokens, alignment budgets, and moving goalposts they abstract are not. The treadmill, as far as we can tell, is perpetual.

Grow Sell is a cozy idle game about building a tiny food business with your own hands: grow it, cook it, sell it. Plant seeds in the Garden and wait for the harvest. Take the ingredients to the Kitchen and cook dishes that sell for far more than what went into them. Stock the shelves of your Shop โ€” customers walk in, pick something up, and queue up with it. Tap the one at the front to take their money. WHAT YOU DO โ€ข Plant and harvest crops, from carrots to artichokes โ€ข Cook dishes from what you grew โ€” every recipe is worth more than its parts โ€ข Stock shelves and serve the customers who come for them โ€ข Upgrade plots, stoves and shelves: higher level means faster work and better prices โ€ข Unlock new seeds and recipes as you level up WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your shop keeps living without you. Come back to a full queue of customers and a summary of what happened. EVERY DAY Three daily tasks and a streak that grows over a week. Keep it up for seven days and the chest turns into a super prize. ALSO โ€ข Leaderboard โ€” see where you stand among other players โ€ข Play in English or Russian, switch any time โ€ข No timers pressuring you, no punishment for leaving Free to play, with optional ads for bonuses.
