Nine holes. One shot at the day.
Play Daily Links — free, in your browser
A daily mini-golf puzzle that runs in your browser. Everyone plays the exact same nine-hole course each day, rolling over at midnight UTC. Drag back from the ball and release to putt — slingshot aim with a power ring and a line that shows your first bounce — then bank shots off walls, ride the lively bumpers, dodge the sand that kills your speed, and steer clear of water hazards that cost a penalty stroke. Every course is checked before it goes out: the cup is always reachable without going through the water, and each hole's par is set by how many strokes the hole actually takes. Your round saves as you play, so you can put it down and come back. Sink all nine, keep your streak going, and share an emoji scorecard that gives nothing away.
Each day generates one nine-hole course, identical for every player worldwide, and it changes at midnight UTC. Your goal is to sink the ball on all nine holes in as few total strokes as possible.
To putt, press down and drag backward — like pulling back a slingshot. The farther you drag, the more power; a ring around the ball fills as you pull and turns red at full power. The dotted line shows your line and where it would bounce first. Release to launch.
Every hole has its own par, from 2 to 6, set by how far the ball actually has to travel and how much is in the way — so a short open green and a long double-barrier hole are scored differently.
Walls bounce the ball at an angle and the pink bumpers are extra bouncy, so a deliberate carom can curve you around an obstacle a straight shot cannot reach. Sand slows the ball down fast. Water resets the ball to where you shot from and adds a penalty stroke.
Your round saves after every stroke. Close the tab, lock your phone, come back later — the same course is still there at the hole you were on.
Finish all nine to see your scorecard, your streak and a 35-day calendar of past rounds, then copy an emoji card to share. The squares say how you did against par on each hole and nothing about the course itself.
No mouse? Aim with the left and right arrows, set power with up and down, and putt with Space. Hold Shift for fine adjustments.
Daily Links is a free browser-based daily mini-golf puzzle. Everyone plays the exact same nine-hole course each day, and it changes at midnight UTC. You drag back from the ball and release to putt, banking shots off walls and bumpers while avoiding sand and water hazards, and try to sink all nine holes in as few strokes as possible.
Yes, Daily Links is completely free to play in your browser. No download, no signup, no paywall.
Press down and drag backward like a slingshot — the farther you drag, the more power, and a ring around the ball fills as you pull. A dotted line previews your line and the first wall you would bounce off. Release to putt. Walls and pink bumpers bounce the ball, sand slows it down, and water resets your shot with a one-stroke penalty. Sink all nine holes to finish the round.
A new nine-hole course is generated every day at midnight UTC and is identical for every player worldwide, so scores are directly comparable on the daily leaderboard. The same course stays up all day — refreshing, closing the tab or coming back in the evening will not change it.
Yes. Daily Links is built for touch — drag back from the ball and release to putt, with the same controls on phone as on desktop. The board is sized for the screen it is on rather than being a shrunken desktop layout.
Yes. Aim with the left and right arrow keys, set power with up and down, and putt with Space. Hold Shift for fine adjustments, press Space again to advance after sinking a hole, and Escape to pause.
Nothing is lost. Your round is saved after every stroke, so you can close the tab or lock your phone and come back to the same course at the hole you were on. Only your first completed round each day is ranked.
Par is set from how far the ball actually has to travel — the route around the barriers, not the straight line from tee to cup — along with how tight the gaps are and how much water, sand and bumper trouble is in the way. It ranges from 2 on a short open green to 6 on a long double-barrier hole, and it is calibrated against a bot that plays every hole through the real physics before the course is published.
Yes, and it is checked rather than assumed. Before a course is published, every hole is flood-filled over the space the ball can physically occupy to prove the cup is reachable and that there is a route to it that does not pass through water, and a bot plays all nine holes through the real physics. A hole that fails any of that is thrown away and regenerated.
Yes. It keeps your current and longest streak of consecutive days, rounds played, best and average score against par, total holes-in-one, and a 35-day calendar coloured by how each round went. Replaying a day you have already finished does not inflate any of it.
