The best games to play while doing homework

Idle games, clickers, and management games all make for perfect study buddies.

You say you're just going to take a break from the school or work day to play "just one level" or "just one hour" of a favorite game. But before you know it, you've lost way more than just an hour. 

Fortunately, not every game is designed to grab and hold your attention. These games won't keep you away from your homework—at least, not for long. These idle and management games are perfect to leave running in the background while you write a report or have up on your monitor while you hit the books. Even more handy, several of them are free!

Fallout Shelter

 Free | Management | Steam , Bethesda Launcher 

Fallout Shelter puts you in the Overseer's chair to construct a vault room by room, organize expeditions into the Wasteland, and oversee the growth of your population. Vault dwellers have all the standard Fallout S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats, some of which make them better at producing resources like food and water and others that help them defend against rad roach and raider attacks.

Fallout Shelter is great for playing on the side while you work because it only requires a bit of attention every few minutes. In the early stages, you'll need to manually click on rooms that have finished producing food, water, and power to collect them. After completing a few achievements, you'll likely be able to earn a Mr. Handy unit, which will collect those resources automatically. Vaults do occasionally face emergencies like fires and deathclaw attacks, but the sirens are hard to ignore. If you've got your sound on or headphones in, you'll know when to look up and help your dwellers defend themselves. 

When you really need a break, treat yourself to one of Fallout Shelter's quests, which are more hands-on than managing the vault. Most quests take a few hours for your dwellers to arrive at, but if you send them off early in the day, you'll be able to start one when you're ready and take a few minutes to guide them through several floors of enemies and loot.

Realm Grinder

 Free | Clicker | Steam , Browser  

The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

Realm Grinder has as much theorycrafting as some MMOs I've played. If you want to get into that side of it, check out our Realm Grinder guide to get started and learn the lingo. There's plenty of number crunching if you want it, but don't let it scare you off. Like any clicker game, it's easy to get started. In Realm Grinder you start as the ruler in one of six factions each aligned with good or evil. The evil factions (goblins, demons, and undead) are most oriented towards an idle play style where you earn coins based on upgrades that you've bought instead of increasing the coins you earn per click. 

Realm Grinder is a great studying game. Not only does it flex your arithmetic skills in calculating upgrades (if you want to get that deep) but it really doesn't require too much of your attention. The endgame for Realm Grinder can get pretty complex if you allow it, but if you just want to mess about and earn a few trophies, you don't need to read up on all the meta strats. The only danger is if you get too into it, you may end up doing speed runs instead of studying. 

Spaceplan 

 $2.99 USD | Clicker | Steam

Spaceplan has what few other clicker games do: an ending. A great ending, even. You're lost in space on a potato-powered ship and the only way to find your way back to Earth is to make lots and lots of potatoes. With the help of your onboard AI, a GladOS and HAL 9000 lovechild called the Word Outputter, you'll make starchy creations to power your potato ship as you hop planets and universes on your way back home.

Like most clicker games, you'll spend a bit of time getting set up but Spaceplan quickly becomes a self-propelled machine that generates joules of potato power. Oh, and make sure to turn on the "scientifically accurate mode" which displays your power in joules instead of watts. You were paying attention in physics, right?

Have your sound on while playing Spaceplan because the low-key space soundtrack by Logan Gabriel is absolutely stellar. It's still my go-to concentration music even years later. It will probably take you about a week of casual check-ins to complete and if you enjoy the soundtrack along the way you'll likely love the groovy, cinematic ending.

 A Dark Room 

Free | Management | Browser  

A Dark Room almost defies explanation and demands to be played firsthand. You start off by a dwindling fire and your only option is to stoke it so you won't freeze to death. Before long you run out of wood and need to gather more. Next you wind up building a hut, and then another, attracting more wanderers to your small, budding village. You don't know why you're tending this fire in what seems to be the apocalypse, but you keep taking care of your people, assigning them jobs, and building the village's resources. The story is sparse and vague, but I've been playing for weeks just to see what new vagabonds I can attract and technologies I can find. 

Eventually, A Dark Room opens up after you obtain a compass and can leave the small village you've constructed. Like Fallout Shelter, you can go on expeditions in a Dwarf Fortress-like ascii art environment. Venturing further from the village, killing monsters, and finding new resources like iron mines and abandoned suburbs leads to further progress. After finding the right spread of villagers per job to stabilize the resources of wood, meat, and other necessities, it's easy to leave A Dark Room running for hours and come back later to investigate what new mysteries await.

Cookie Clicker

Free | Clicker | Browser  

Cookie Clicker is THE classic clicker game. It's still a browser game to this day even though it has developed a lot of pizzazz since 2013. There are animations and screen effects and lots of display options. At its heart though, Cookie Clicker is just about making cookies with milk. You recruit sweet grandmas, build cookie farms, cookie mines, and temples of cookie production. 

The first upgrade you can spend cookies on is an automated clicker that does the cookie clicking for you, meaning you can go hands-off very quickly. Although Cookie Clicker has some of the same deep strategy elements as Realm Grinder by storing progress across multiple runs, it isn't nearly as intense. You can pull up Cookie Clicker in a browser while you write a paper and check in on it whenever you remember.

Lauren started writing for PC Gamer as a freelancer in 2017 while chasing the Dark Souls fashion police and accepted her role as Associate Editor in 2021, now serving as the self-appointed chief cozy games enjoyer. She originally started her career in game development and is still fascinated by how games tick in the modding and speedrunning scenes. She likes long books, longer RPGs, has strong feelings about farmlife sims, and can't stop playing co-op crafting games.

These Are the Best Video Games to Play While Doing Homework

Do video games and homework go together? Various studies have suggested that gamers spend less time on their homework than those who don’t indulge, and might perform worse on standardized reading and writing tests. Other studies, in contrast, show no evidence of reduced scholastic achievement among gamers.

Whatever their effects may be, video games are a part of student life today, and taking a break from studies at home to play for “just one hour” or “just one level” is commonplace — though often those levels and hours somehow seem to expand.

PC Gamer, which styles itself “the global authority on PC games,” has just published its recommendations for games that won’t keep anyone away from their homework — at least not for long.

“These idle and management games,” writes game designer Lauren Morton on the site, “are perfect to leave running in the background while you write a report or have up on your monitor while you hit the books.” Four of the five games she lists are free (A Dark Room is the exception, at $2.99). Free games might be a factor why this one famous video games retailer is falling apart .

The games Morton recommends are:

Fallout Shelter, “great for playing on the side…because it only requires a bit of attention every few minutes.”

Realm Grinder, “a great studying game” that will “flex your arithmetic skills” but “doesnt really require too much of your attention.”

Spaceplan, a clicker game that takes some time to set up, but then requires only casual check-ins — and that, incidentally, has a “low-key space soundtrack by Logan Gabriel [that] is absolutely stellar.”

A Dark Room, a game which “almost defies explanation,” but that you can ultimately “leave…running for hours and come back later to investigate….”

Cookie Clicker, “THE classic clicker game,” which can be upgraded so that an automatic clicker does all the work. “You can pull up Cookie Clicker in a browser while you write a paper,” says Morton, “and check in on it whenever you remember.”

The homework-friendly video games are not necessarily the most popular. While fans continue to seek out the newest games, the best-selling games in history continue to be those that are all-around outstanding — these are the most popular video games of all time .

How to Use Gamification to Help Kids with Homework

Are you having some trouble helping your kid with their homework? Try using gamification – a learning method that turns tasks into games. 

On this blog, I’ve talked about a lot of learning and productivity hacks . But the one I’m about to share may be the most effective.

Here’s the scenario: your kid brings home an assignment from school and asks you to help her.

She says that this topic is confusing and she can’t seem to figure it out. She also shows you a quiz that she did horribly on.

You look over the quiz and homework assignment. As you do, you try to see where she went wrong.

You ask your daughter:

“So what’s confusing about this? What don’t you understand?”

She replies, “I just can’t figure out how to solve these types of equations.”

You ask her to try doing one question so you can see her process.

As she’s working on it, you realize that she’s missing a couple of crucial steps, hence the bad mark.

So, you stop her and show her how to do it correctly. She’s able to correctly fix her mistakes on the quiz and do the homework assignment.

She thanks you and leaves. You feel proud that you were able to help your kid with homework.

The next day, feeling curious, you decide to quiz her, you know, just to see if she still remembers the steps you showed her.

You tell her to solve 2 questions from a workbook. She takes a few minutes to do them and then hands it to you.

You look over it and well, she botched both questions.

You’re now sitting beside her, wondering, “What the expletive? Did she even hear a single thing I said yesterday?”

So, you show her the steps again and hope she pays attention and remembers them.

But deep down in your subconscious, you know she won’t.

And you have every right to think this. Kids are manipulative and evil. Never trust them.

How to Help Kids with Homework

When I was a kid (maybe in the second grade), I had trouble doing basic subtraction.

I would do horribly on quizzes. But it wasn’t because I didn’t understand subtraction, I just didn’t know the process.

I also didn’t practice enough, which was why I didn’t remember the steps. I’d rather go outside and play or play video games.

Recognizing this, my dad found me a subtraction video game on the computer (this was a thing in the 90s) and told me to play it.

At first, I had trouble and kept losing -remember, I didn’t know the right steps.

So, he showed me how to subtract and some tips and tricks for solving these math problems. Then, I applied these steps to the challenges in the game.

I immediately did better, albeit slowly. But as I continued to play the game consistently, I got quicker and quicker.

I was also answering more correctly, which helped me beat the levels. And defeating each level boosted my self-esteem.

This led to me understanding the process and improving my grade in school.

And this method that my dad used to teach me math is called gamification.

What is Gamification?

Gamification is a productivity (or learning) hack that gets you to turn any task into a game.

It helps a lot of people accomplish tasks and meet goals because it allows them to, in a way, stack up points to win challenges.

This creates a sense of accomplishment because as they complete assignments, for instance, it feels like they are winning a game (or defeating a level).

How to use Gamification to Help Kids with Homework

There are many ways to use this method to encourage your kid to do homework (and to do it properly).

You can use education apps, workbooks (which you can find here ), or create your own learning games.

For example, you can get your kid to do a math worksheet and for every question he gets right that would equal one point.

If he scores a certain amount of points, let him know that he just won the prize of fulfillment and knowledge.

And this is important.

Make sure you don’t give an actual gift. This will lead to your kid learning for the sake of receiving material things and not for the sake of being more knowledgeable.

Other than that, make sure that the games are fun and encouraging.

This is the only way that your kid will continue to participate.

Give gamification a try and see how it helps your kid in school.

What are some games that i could play while studying or doing homework (pc only).

A lot of people are going to instantly suggest runescape, that's just not my type of game. Maybe a game that i wont get sucked into while playing, just something I can relax and play and doesn't require much attention. Thanks in advance.

Just Like Homework

Test your spatial abilities! Guess the 3d shape based on the 2d views.

Why do your homework when you can be playing this game instead?***

How to play

• Click on the smaller boxes in the control area (the lower right of the screen) to toggle cubes on or off. You can see the shape you're forming in the preview.
• When you're done building the shape, hit [SPACEBAR] to check your answer
• Hit [ENTER] to get a new random puzzle

PAQ (Possibly asked questions)

Q: Why didn't you just make the larger cube/preview area clickable?

A: I tried! But the front-most cube at the top layer completely covers the back-most cube of the bottom layer. There's no way to easily access them via mouse-pointer, short of rotating the cube. This also explains why the control area's top and bottom layers were split away from each other. See the image below :(

(If you have a solution or preferred other way of controlling the blocks, please feel free to comment!)

Q: The game says my answer is wrong, but I'm sure it's right.

A: Oops! Unfortunately, I couldn't test all the possible combinations. If you remember the question, please send a screenshot of the views and the correct/incorrect answer.

Future plans

This game was made for the Minimalist Game Jam . (Limitation: you can only use basic geometric shapes for your game.) It's probably buggy, so comment away and I'll try to clean it up!

In my dev wishlist are:

• Sound and music
• A scoring system or timer, for that authentic "school is so difficult" feel
• Introducing a difficulty curve to the problems
• Made in GameMaker Studio 2
• Tecnico font by Cristhian Gomez

***This game was actually based on one of my subjects in school!  Very homework-like.

Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.

This exercise was, no joke, my favourite in technical drawing subject. So weird doing these after many years and still enjoying it :P

Thank you for playing. I feel honored. And you just reminded me I should clean this up. I wanted this to work as a fun intro/reviewer for people taking the class.

A Good Idea but I felt it was a bit hard. I think maybe a few easy shapes in the beginning would've helped a bunch. A bit of sound and music would've also bettered the game

Otherwise a good game, visuals were on point.

Thank you for the comment. Difficulty curve sounds like a good idea :D I'll add it to my wishlist.

Great Concept! I loved playing it! However, there are a few bugs/suggestions:

• Sometimes the game is just stuck and I'm not able to press any key.
• Add an undo option. In case I misclick, I have to start a new game.
• Some sound effects/music would be good.

Apart from these, everything is cool.

Thank you. This is super helpful. I'll work on making the controls more responsive and intuitive!

A story about a guy undergoing a very tough time in his life, due to an incident that literally changed him forever. Fortunately, he lives together with two girls, and he focuses on trying to break the bad cycle he has fallen into.

Double Homework is organized in episodes. Each episode is a stand-alone game, but all of them share the same data and keep your progress. The game is made using HTML5 and therefore it runs well on any platform with proper WebGL hardware acceleration support, including Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

Supported browsers: Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Mobile support is currently in beta and issues can potentially appear. The only supported browsers for mobile is Chrome (Android). To get full screen, open the game, tap the options button of the browser (“…”) and select “Add to Homescreen”. This options is also available on iOS under the share icon (Safari). Due to limitations imposed by Apple, the game may not run well on iOS devices.

Important: do NOT minimize the game while playing on mobile, as your system may kill it and you will lose your progress. Make sure to save before you leave the game.

Please email any potential issues you might encounter to [email protected] or preferably on our Discord channel (bug-report section). Note that you might see a black window for a while until the game loads. Consider closing your other browser tabs before playing. If the game feels laggy on desktop computers,  make sure your system GPU drivers are up-do-date and that “hardware acceleration” is enabled in your browser settings.

Double Homework has a variable editor that allow players to easily change previous chapter’s choices. It is also useful in case of data lost.

ABOUT TETRIS ®

Tetris ® is the addictive puzzle game that started it all, embracing our universal desire to create order out of chaos. The Tetris game was created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984—the product of Alexey’s computer programming experience and his love of puzzles. In the decades to follow, Tetris became one of the most successful and recognizable video games, appearing on nearly every gaming platform available. This page is the official destination for free online single-player Tetris. Click PLAY to start playing one of the world’s most popular puzzle games now!

The goal of Tetris is to score as many points as possible by clearing horizontal lines of Blocks. The player must rotate, move, and drop the falling Tetriminos inside the Matrix (playing field). Lines are cleared when they are filled with Blocks and have no empty spaces. As lines are cleared, the level increases and Tetriminos fall faster, making the game progressively more challenging. If the Blocks land above the top of the playing field, the game is over.
