About 613today Games
Every game on this page is built specifically for Ottawa-Gatineau. The word puzzles — Capitle, Ottawa Connections, and Ottawa Strands — borrow formats popularized by the New York Times but every answer ties back to the capital: landmarks, neighbourhoods, festivals, government, and local history.
The decision spinners — What to Eat Today? and What to Do This Week? — pull from our Ottawa places and events database to help you skip the "where should we go?" debate. Filter by neighbourhood, cuisine, or event type, then spin.
All games are free, work in your browser, and don’t require an account. Progress is stored locally on your device. Each puzzle has its own URL — finished one and want a friend to play the same? Just send them the link.
