I am looking for online games or puzzles which have a mathematical flavor and are suitable for general audiences. A classical example is the online version of Set Card Game. Or this game that has some aspects of graphs.

I'm very interested in these as well as physics games. I think they are accessible ways to get students or citizens involved in doing mathematics as mathematicians do it. The following are some of what I have found and collected online with eye towards encouraging reasoning. Stack Exchange wouldn't let me post too many links here, so I collected them in a Tumblr post: https://mathhombre.tumblr.com/post/45269554617/online-games-with-some-math-content
Traditional: Minesweeper and Lights Out.
New, in rough order of how much I like them.

- Refraction
- Loops of Zen

- Paths
- Stepping Stones
- Z-Rox
I'll also mention Robert Abbott's lovely logic mazes, https://www.logicmazes.com/

Poker has some serious mathematical aspects, so I think online poker qualifies.

This question was flagged as it can be a comment, but maybe it is of high quality to let it stay as an answer. – Тyma Gaidash Jan 27 '24 at 14:49

1@ТymaGaidash Actually, this was meant as a serious answer (not a comment). There are several places where you can play online poker, and it is a game of probability (and hence math). – azimut Jan 28 '24 at 18:03
