THE GAME

The Boredom Extinction Event

Can you do nothing?

Not meditate. Not breathe mindfully. Not practice being present. Just sit there. Watch something slow happen. And not touch your screen.

Twelve levels. Thirty seconds each. Each one a little more boring than the last. The only way to win is to stop trying.

A Friction Experience

The Boredom Extinction Event

Twelve levels. Each one asks you to do nothing.
Just watch. No tapping, no scrolling, no clicking.

It starts easy. It won't stay that way.

Don't touch anything.
