About 9K Club

9kclubs.net is a one-game arcade. It exists so that anyone with a phone and a spare minute can play a fair, fast number puzzle without signing up, paying or being sold to. This page explains who is behind it and how it works.

What This Site Is

9K Club at 9kclubs.net hosts 9K Link Rush, an original puzzle in which you join touching tiles that add up to nine. The site also carries the rules, a tips guide, a home-screen app guide and help pages. It runs entirely in your browser: once a page loads, every tap, every tile and every score is handled on your own device.

Many sites use names with “9K” in them. This one is independent and is not connected to any other website, app or company using a similar name, and it does not link out to them.

Why a Number Puzzle?

Number puzzles reward attention rather than luck. Every board in Link Rush has at least one solution, every rule is public, and a better score always comes from playing better. That felt like the right kind of game for a site with no shop: it gives you a reason to come back that has nothing to do with spending.

The target of nine came first and the name followed. Nine is the sum of every link, and 9,000 points is the mark of a great run, so the “9K” in 9K Club is something you can actually reach.

Meet Niner

Niner is the small orange robot you see around the site, drawn in the same orange and gold as the 9K Club logo. Niner has no special powers in the game and gives no secret hints; it is just there to make the pages friendlier and to remind you to take breaks. All artwork on the site is original.

How the Tiles Are Drawn

Each new tile comes from the browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), using rejection sampling so that no value is favoured by accident. Small numbers are deliberately more common, as the game rules state, so long links stay possible. The draw never looks at your score, your streak, the time or anything else about you.

What We Will Never Do

How the Site Is Built

The pages are static files served from a global network, which keeps them fast on slow mobile connections. There are no accounts and no server-side database. Your best score and settings live in your browser's local storage, as the privacy policy describes in full.
