How to Play Paper Toss
- Type what's bugging you, or tap one of the ready-made ones.
- Press and hold the button until the note crumples into a ball.
- Flick the ball toward the bin. It always lands, however you throw it.
- When the lid shuts, toss another or carry on with your day.
There's no score and no timer. Want a small challenge? Turn on Free aim and the throw is all yours. A miss rolls back to you.
Ready-Made Notes
Not sure what to write? Tap Deadline, Rude email, Traffic or Too much to do and the note fills itself in. You can also type up to 80 characters of your own.
How Free Aim Works
With Free aim on, the throw is all yours. Flick toward the bin: the direction of your flick sets the angle, and its speed sets how far the ball flies. There's a small nudge toward the bin, so most honest flicks land, and a miss rolls back to you so you can try again straight away. Turn Free aim off and every throw lands.
Playing Anywhere
Sound starts off, so you can play on a bus or in a quiet office. On a computer, press Esc and the game turns into a plain spreadsheet until you press it again.
FAQs
- Is what I type saved?
- No. It stays on your screen and is gone once you crumple it. Nothing is sent to us.
- Can I miss the bin?
- Only with Free aim on. Otherwise every throw lands, even a tap on the ball.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. Flick the ball up toward the bin with your thumb.
