About DailyGames Hub

DailyGames Hub is a small, independently built collection of puzzle games. It started because most daily puzzles are word games, and the ones that are not tend to be reskins of each other. We wanted a set of puzzles that ask genuinely different things of you: mental arithmetic, pure deduction, spatial assembly, programming, routing and physics — one of each rather than six of one.

What is here

Three daily games rotate fresh puzzles every night: Cliff Jumper, a shortest-equation arithmetic puzzle; Queens, a crown-placement logic grid; and Poly Puzzle, a tangram-style shape assembly. Alongside them, one of three larger Game of the Month titles takes the featured slot each month — LogicBot, Grid Network and Precision Launch — and all three stay playable in between.

There is also Daily Coffee Break, which is not a game at all. It grew out of the observation that people play a daily puzzle in the same ten minutes they drink a coffee, so we built a way to find the coffee spots that are actually busy right now in a city you choose.

How the daily puzzles are generated

Nothing is hand-authored from a fixed list, and nothing is random per player. Each game derives a seed from the current calendar day, feeds it into a deterministic pseudo-random generator, and builds a puzzle from it. Because the seed is the date, everyone who opens the site on the same day gets exactly the same board, which is what makes sharing a result meaningful.

Generation is not just a shuffle. Queens boards are checked by a backtracking solver to confirm they have exactly one solution, so no daily board ever requires guessing. Cliff Jumper levels are solved exhaustively at generation time so the game can tell you the true optimal tile count. Grid Network computes its target cost with a shortest-path search rather than an estimate. If a generated puzzle fails its quality check, it is discarded and another is generated.

No accounts, no profiles

There is nothing to sign up for. Your streaks, your best times and today's results live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device. That means clearing your browser data clears your streak, and playing on your phone and your laptop gives you two independent histories — a deliberate trade for not asking you to create an account or hand over an email address.

The site is free and supported by advertising. What that means for the data advertising partners collect is set out in full on the privacy policy page.

Credits

The 3D models used in Cliff Jumper, LogicBot and Grid Network come from the Poly Pizza library and are used under their Creative Commons licences. Each game credits its artists directly on the page where their work appears, because attribution belongs next to the thing being attributed rather than buried in a footer.

Getting in touch

Bug reports, puzzle ideas and complaints about a board that turned out to be unfair are all welcome. Write to hello@dailygamesandcoffee.com. If you are reporting a specific puzzle, mentioning the date and the puzzle number shown under the game title makes it possible to regenerate the exact board you saw.
