Available on browser, Infinite Craft allows you to combine words to get more and more words. The possibilities are endless and you quickly find yourself spending hours generating increasingly improbable results.
When you open the site Infinite Craft for the first time, you find yourself in front of a blank page. On the right is a column with four elements: “Water”, “Fire”, “Wind” and “Earth”. You start by taking a first word, then a second to combine it with the other, placing it on top. “Earth” and “Water” together? This will give you “Plant”. “Water” and “Fire”? “Smoke.” And so on. Infinite Craft is described as “ an infinite crafting game » by its creator Neal Agarwal. Free, it has been available since January 31, 2024.
We quickly understand that the aim ofInfinite Craft lies in… the absence of purpose. The idea is to play with multiple combinations, looking for the new element with which we can then have fun. The gameplay is simple (you just move words), the principle ultra-addictive. You don’t really need to think, just let yourself go until you realize that you have just spent 30 minutes filling your right column, sometimes with improbable associations. Thus, “Book” and “Wine” gave “Bible”, while “Christian” and “Volcano” allowed me to unlock “Hell”.
Infinite Craft is a bottomless pit
Infinite Craft encourages experimentation, which makes you want to give it your time even more. Sometimes it comes to nothing. From time to time, we come back to a previous result. Often, we navigate from discovery to discovery. Some results are logical (“Fire” + “Wind” = “Smoke”, “Water” + “Lava” = “Stone”), others are reminiscent of trolls or funny winks. For example :
- “Leonardo” and “Raphael” will unlock “Teenage Murtant Ninja Turtle”
- “Lion” + “Book”? “Narnia”
- “Park” + “Rich”? “Disney”
- “Lion” + “Disney”? “Simba”
- “Trump” + “Hell”? ” President “
The viral potential ofInfinite Craft is real and is based in particular on the pioneer principle. We can actually be the first to discover an association, which will reward us with a “First Discovery” button if applicable. This race for exclusivity motivates even more to launch into Infinite Craft.
On social networks, we already see users sharing incredible combinations, like this internet user which got “iPhone” and a bunch of iterations that will never exist (“iPhone 13107200”). “ Someone managed to get ‘Peter Griffin’ a minute after launch », even rejoiced Neal Argawal, who is also the man behind The Password Game — an atrocious password simulator. On February 5, he announced that he had added new features, such as the possibility of searching in the column of elements to go faster. We warn you anyway: Infinite Craft can be a real drag on your productivity.
