12 o'clock
Every day at exactly 12:00:00, one krone is drawn from every active player. One winner takes 90% of the pool. Facts only.
- Gold
- Ink
- Paper
At exactly noon, one krone leaves every active balance; one player takes ninety percent of the pot. That's the whole game.
The random draw is externally audited — the RNG audit report is part of the repo, not a marketing claim.
Balances and draws update live over Supabase Realtime; the noon tick is the product's heartbeat.
No streaks, no leaderboards, no push notifications begging you back. The design brief was to build the smallest possible game and stop.
Case study
The problem
Every product in this category is engineered to maximise time on device. The question was whether one could be engineered around a single second a day and still be worth opening.
What I did
Concept, design and build — including the restraint, which is most of the work. The feature list is largely a record of things deliberately left out.

Architecture
- At exactly 12:00:00 Copenhagen time, one krone leaves every active balance and one player takes ninety percent of the pot. That is the entire game.
- Supabase Realtime for live balances and draws — the noon tick is the product's heartbeat.
- The random draw is externally audited, and the RNG audit report lives in the repository rather than in the marketing copy.
- IBM Plex Mono head to toe. No streaks, no leaderboards, no badges and no push notifications begging anyone back.
Outcomes
- The smallest game the brief would allow, with a specification that reads mostly as a list of refusals.
Status
In development.
In the ecosystem
The outlier. It connects to nothing else in the index, on purpose.
In development. The clock, the pool, the winner — and deliberately nothing else.
Same time.
Every day.
Why it exists
The strangest room in the house: a countdown, a pool, a winner. The detail page becomes a live clock counting to the next noon.
One krone, one draw, one moment a day — everything else was deliberately left out. The room here is as quiet as the game itself.
Facts only
Every gambling product in the world is engineered to maximize time-on-device. This one is engineered around a single second per day. Whether that restraint is a feature or a philosophy — probably both — it's the only game whose entire pitch fits in its name.
