Bored.com, one of the early internet's best-known boredom-killing websites, is back with a fresh design and new browser games.

The domain originally went live in the late 1990s as a simple directory with links to online Flash games. Though it suddenly went offline in early 2021 (likely due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash in December 2020), it seems to have bounced back.

The new Bored.com positions itself as a human‑curated directory that organizes sites into categories such as games, art, science, and music. The team says it built the updated version out of frustration with repetitive "things to do when bored" listicles and a desire to create a single place where users can discover unusual, creative, lesser‑known corners of the internet. And the best bit is that every listed destination is hand‑picked and tested, according to the site's About and FAQ pages.
