A VERY SMALL POSTAL SERVICE
Postboat Shuffle.
OnlineSteer the postboat in this browser, with moving mail or 24 untimed turns.
Little boat. Big postbag.
Steer a tiny postboat, scoop up letters and give the ducks some room. Try a one-minute delivery round, or take every turn at your own pace.
Collect the post. Dodge the ducks.
Choose one of three lanes before the post reaches your boat. Letters earn 5 points, with a bonus for a run of deliveries. Ducks cost up to 3 points; empty water earns none. Everyone gets to finish.
No scores are saved unless you choose this. You can clear them below.
Every route has 24 deliveries. The final stretch moves a little faster.
Tap a lane or use ← → and 1, 2, 3. P or Escape pauses an arcade round. In untimed play, choose a lane then send the boat.
Post delivered!
Shared links contain only the route and play mode, never a visitor ID or your score.
A minute on the water. Or a gentler detour.
Arcade play has three stretches of eight deliveries: gentle puddle, lunchtime rush, and special delivery. Move between lanes as often as you like; only your lane when the row reaches the boat counts. A long pause or a hidden browser tab stops the game until you choose Resume.
Prefer thinking time? Choose “At your pace.” Each lane tells you what’s waiting, and nothing moves until you send the boat. It uses the same routes and points, without a timer. Quiet water removes decorative motion; your device’s reduced-motion setting selects untimed play initially.
Deliveries in a row add a bonus of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5 points per letter. A duck or empty lane breaks the chain. The maximum is 225 points. No global rankings, lost lives, accounts or pressure to finish quickly.
Your current game stays in page memory. Optional personal bests store only scores and an expiry date in this browser, separately for the two modes. No score is uploaded. Privacy and optional measurement.
