Best Game to Play While Listening

Looking for a game that pairs perfectly with podcasts or audiobooks? Nodes is a calm, triangle puzzle game you can enjoy without disrupting your audio.

It includes gentle sound effects, but you can turn them off in settings for a silent experience.

How to Play

Start by connecting any two dots

  1. Each dot indicates the number of possible connections.
  2. Connect dots by drawing lines to form triangles.
  3. When you create a correct triangle, it will reveal its color.
  4. If the triangle is incorrect, double-tap or right-click to remove the lines.
  5. Continue forming triangles until the entire picture is revealed.
  6. You can turn sound effects on or off from the menu, making it perfect for any setting!

Why Nodes Works So Well with Audio

  • Optional sound — gentle audio effects that can be turned off entirely
  • No timers or cutscenes — progress at your own pace
  • Gentle visuals that won't compete for your attention
  • Quiet gameplay — great for unwinding or background play while focused on audio
  • One new puzzle every day — build a healthy listening + playing habit
