Number, Please

You're a 1950s telephone switchboard operator. Calls come in, callers tell you where they want to go, and you make the connection. Keep up as the pace increases. Don't drop the line.

How to Play

• Click a blinking light on your switchboard to answer an incoming call
• Route them to the right number
• Keep the board moving
• Try not to drop any calls

See how many callers you can connect in each shift (60 seconds). Your Shift Report will tell you how you did.

Click the gramophone icon in the bottom left corner to adjust the volume.

Built for the GameDev.TV Game Jam 2026.
