Hackathon POC — Tom Angles, 06/05/2026
Focus Island is a multiplayer productivity game: stay focused on your work, earn coins, unlock animals, and decorate your virtual island. Join a lobby with your teammates, get to work, and compare islands at the end of the session.
The idea is not to spend time in the app — it's to work, let the app detect your focus automatically, and come back at the end of the day to see who built the best island.
- Open the web client and enter your name.
- Create a lobby or join one with a friend's code.
- Work. The app automatically detects whether you're focused based on the active browser tab.
- Every second of focus generates coins — spend them on animals and decorations in the shop.
- At the end of the day, visit your teammates' islands and compare your progress.
