Close Ad Game

A completely serious test

Close That Ad

Ads closed0 / 10
Time left30s

One tiny button. Ten enormous interruptions.

Close 10 ads in 30 seconds. The close button may panic and run away—but only three times per ad.

Mouse users: the button gets 3 chances to flee. Touch and keyboard users get a well-behaved button. Press Tab and Enter to play.

The internet has opened one more pop-up. Close 10 increasingly ridiculous ads before the timer runs out—and catch the close button when it tries to escape.

How to play

Start the 30-second round and close as many ads as you can. The close button can dodge your mouse three times per ad, then it gives up. Keyboard and touch controls stay put, because even fake ads should be accessible. Close 10 ads to win.

A tiny break from the internet

These are pretend ads with very questionable offers. Nothing is tracked or opened; the only prize is a brief feeling of peace and quiet.
