Since 2006, a simple red button has been sending bored but curious minds to the most entertaining corners of the web.
The early internet was a strange and playful place—dancing hamsters, pointless games, bizarre experiments. But it wasn’t just weird, it was interactive. You clicked, played, explored, and stumbled onto websites you didn’t expect.
The hard part was finding them.
So we built Bored Button: a simple way to discover delightful, interactive websites and waste a little time. No login. No algorithm. No endless feed optimized for maximum anxiety—just one good thing after another.
We’ve been doing this since before the iPhone. Since before social media swallowed the internet and AI spit it back out. Back when people built weird little websites just because they could. That spirit never disappeared—it just got harder to find. That’s why we’re still here, doing the same thing, as simply as ever.
Every site is handpicked by a real human. If it’s in the rotation, it’s worth your click, whether it makes you laugh, play, or just wonder what you just found. Don’t like where you land? Just click again.
Press the Bored Button and be bored no more.
Hundreds have come and gone over the years, but the current count is exactly 150.
No, but you’re welcome to press the button 150 times.

Because it works. And believe it or not, when Bored Button first launched, it won a design award.
Yes, the original was a real button from the founder’s favorite red jacket. It didn’t quite hold up on modern high-definition screens, though, so we upgraded it.
