Celebrating the creativity, craft, and everyday joy of daily games.
The Playlin Awards celebrate excellence in daily games: the short-form interactive experiences that millions of people make part of their everyday routine.
Presented by Playlin, the awards recognize the talented creators pushing the boundaries of daily play. From word puzzles to logic challenges, daily games provide moments of joy and mental stimulation while fostering communities of players everywhere.
Every free, no-account daily game that was live on Playlin by October 5, 2026, is already in the running for a nomination. There's nothing to enter. The Playlin editorial team selects the nominees, a jury and player vote decide the winners, and results will be announced in December 2026. How it works
