I need some games that schools don’t block
Do your homework.
And show your work.
If you think of school as a video game and your GPA as a high score or championship ranking, everything is a game!
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
There’s a fun one at many schools called “tenure or bust”. It’s kinda like a lootbox for your life. Either you get gud and impress your team or they turn on PVP and eat you alive.
Tic tac toe is another good one. Many desks come with a playing board.
All you need is an X-Acto Knife! Or the sharp end of a compass.
Wouldn’t that depend on the school? Or is there some common list that schools share?
Anyway, I’ve seen high school students playing games like Wordle and Set. You can’t get lost in them, but you can kill a few minutes that way.
My kid is in middle school and has a website of nominally educational games that he plays on his school-issued Chromebook. I’m sure some are obvious edu-tainment but others are physics based puzzlers or simulation style games that hold up on their own merits. He also has a tablet, Switch, retro emulator handheld and a PC so at least SOME of the school-laptop ones must be pretty entertaining if he’s spending time on them over his other options.
Back in the day, we’d get around the school’s blocking by connecting to the websites via IP address rather than the domain.

Learning to get around your school’s blocking can be a pretty fun game!
What age group; primary, middle, junior high?
Speaking as a teacher: why?
In my state, it costs a little north of 70 bucks for one kid for one day in school. And my state is at the bottom of the list. It almost certainly costs more than that for you to attend school for one day.
Is your school so bad that there is literally no way for you to get an education there? Even if you have teachers who are slack, are there any resources you can use in your school to spend that day getting smarter instead of screwing around on mid games whose only virtue is that they haven’t been blocked?
If you struggle with focus, who can you ask for help with that?
You do you. But looking for games that haven’t been blocked sounds like a massive waste of time. Better to spend the school day well, and then play actually good games when you’re at home.
I understand where you’re coming from, but getting the opinions of people in education is more valuable. Most K-8 schools draw from a nucleus of apps that are designed to help hone the skills the state requires and, even more importantly, tests. If he has a primary age child, he can give that child a leg up by exposing him or her to some of those apps.
I used to play a game of seeing how many locks in the school I could bypass with various improvised tools, e.g. a Bic pen cap, springs taken out of various hinges, a metal shim from a ruler, et cetera. (The answer was most of them,) I am not, of course, recommending breaking any laws, but if the o.p. is going to fuck around and not do schoolwork, at least be industrious and learn a skill.

Well, high school is a different world from K-8. If a P-K through 2nd parent walked up to me and asked me that question, I would endeavor to give her a helpful answer. If a freshman through senior parent walked up to me in high school and asked me that question, I might answer, “You haven’t figured that out yet over the last decade of your child’s education?” Well,okay, I would think it. LOL
Well, speaking as an old man- Blindman’s bluff, truth or dare and such are games that have yet to be equalled by any app,
Now, get off my lawn!
