Time is always in short supply, but our attention spans are shrinking too – meaning that in between all of our busywork we need some high-quality distractions to give us a brain break once in awhile. Games that are finite, like Wordle, keep the addition in check, which is what three recent games we found via the New York Times, The Met, and Artle from the National Gallery of Art. Have fun, and learn some art in your downtime – just don't forget to get back to work!

An Impressionism-themed game from the New York Times lets you identify the Monet smudge, match the image to the painting title, identify Manet vs Monet, and more. You can play again and again but the questions will not change.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched a new short-session game, Art Links, that invites players to identify common threads and intriguing connections between works of art. This mobile-first, browser-based, blockchain-powered game presents an innovative way to engage with the Museum, and offers the opportunity to collect special in-game NFT badges and win exciting in-person and digital rewards. The serialized game, which releases new challenges weekly, features over 140 works of art from across The Met collection.
