Terms & Conditions Speedrun: a free game about fine print
400 pages of terms, a few seconds to read them. Somewhere on page 212, you just gave away a kidney.
What is Terms & Conditions Speedrun?
Hundreds of pages of terms and a few seconds before you have to tick “I agree”. Among the boring pages hide the clauses worth refusing: auto-renewals, data sold on, exit fees, and one kidney on page 212. Tap them, or search like a pro.
Terms & Conditions Speedrun is a free satire game about the fine print nobody reads. Up to 400 pages of terms scroll past, and you have seconds before you tick “I agree”.
Hidden among the boring pages are the clauses worth refusing: plans that renew at triple the price, contacts sold to partners, a goodbye fee, and one kidney on page 212. Tap them, or use the search box: that's the real skill.
