Overview
Directory Dash is a free, single-page browser game built as a satirical launch-week toy. Enter your own startup's domain and it becomes a cube that has to run, jump and dodge its way through a row of fictional startup directories to get listed. Founders know the drill: submit to a directory, wait, get a form-letter rejection, resubmit somewhere else. Directory Dash turns that into a one-button rage game where dying and reading the snarky rejection messages is the point, and finishing clean feels like a miracle.
Key Features
- One tap or click to jump, hold to keep jumping. Works on desktop and mobile.
- Fake red spikes for outright rejections, 1-star review stars, captcha blocks, cookie and newsletter popups, and slow "pending review" zones.
- Checkpoints are on by default for an easier, forgiving run. Turning them off is the deliberate hard mode, and finishing that way gets special treatment.
- Every run, finished or given up, gets a permanent shareable link and a result card.
- A live public leaderboard of the Most Rejected Startups, plus best runs with and without checkpoints.
- Share buttons for X and LinkedIn, plus a plain copy-results option.
Use Cases
- A quick break during launch week, when you are waiting on directory reviews anyway.
- Sharing your rejection card with the maker and indie hacker crowd.
- Anyone who has submitted a product to Product Hunt or startup directories and will recognize the jokes.
Getting Started
Open the game, type your startup's domain, and tap to jump. There is no login and no install. All directories in the game are fake, and the game says so on the page: nothing is actually submitted.
Pricing & Plans
Free, forever, no account required.
About
Directory Dash is made by Blastra, an AI tool that submits real products to real directories. The game is the joke version of the same grind, not a real directory itself.
