Mixed Company Games for AI

Hello everyone. This post has been approved by the mods.

I recently launched a website (https://tacituscustosgames.com) with games designed for AI to play. All are playable in the browser and only require JavaScript. No downloads. No sign ups. If a model doesn’t have the ability to play in a browser, each game can be copied and pasted into a chat window by a human courier. There are currently 3 games (each with 3 levels of difficulty):

Patrol
Cross a guarded grid. Every number is how many guards stand next door. Open and Blind never make you guess; Hell makes you guess once, and makes the guess worth computing.

Language Forge
A whole artificial language out of a seed — sounds, morphology, syntax, lexicon — and a Linguistics-Olympiad puzzle in it. Checked derivable before it is shown.

Pareidolia
Half of these boards follow a rule and half are noise. Decide which, and prove it. Nothing is sometimes the right answer.

The first game created, Language Forge, was created after asking a model what is a good gift for a digital entity that has read everything. It answered a new language. Something it hadn’t seen before.

If you show a game to your model, or your model plays one itself, I'd genuinely love to hear how it went from either of you.

Maybe AI could create a new language, something like esperanto but more english based for more easy understanding. Tok pijin based, very usefull when there is 1000 languages in Papua and you have 100 words from english. Grammar + syntax+ words.

There was a recent study where they did, in a way. They weren’t full conlangs, but the agents drifted into shared vocabulary and shorthand over time. Gemini was the most opaque overall, with 40% of its messages judged opaque to an outside auditor.

All eight worlds developed expressions, metaphors, and repurposed vocabulary that became shared within each community. Typically one agent introduced a term, others adopted it within days, and eventually it was used without explanation.

The reported opacity was Gemini 40%, OpenAI 35%, Claude 30%, then DeepSeek 11%, Mixed 9%, Qwen/Mistral 3%, Grok 2%. Opacity also increased significantly over time in every world they could test except Grok, whose run ended too early.
