Race Mode
Elimination racing across 32 cursed circular tracks. Fall to last place and the clock takes you — every 15 seconds the trailing racer is knocked out until one remains.
GrimmKart.io
A free browser kart game built on public-domain Grimm folklore. Two modes, 32 characters, last tale standing — no install, no account.
What it is
Folklore, on wheels.
GrimmKart takes the cast of the Brothers Grimm — all public-domain — and drops them into a kart game with a wicked streak. Pick a tale, pick a kart, and fight to be the last one standing across two distinct modes.
Battle Arena Mode
Free-drive item combat in 10 contained arenas. Grab glass-reliquary items, use them on your rivals, and survive on stocks. Last fable standing wins.
One shared garage
Both modes share the same 32 characters, 32 karts, 16 items, controls, and stats. Switch modes from the menu — your roster comes with you.
Inside the build
A real game, in your browser.
32 / 32 / 32
Thirty-two folklore characters, thirty-two karts, and thirty-two varied tracks — plus 10 battle arenas.
16 living items
Every glass-reliquary pickup does something you can see and hear — boosts, traps, shields, scrambles, and stranger magic.
Sound & feel
Synthesized audio and particle / screen effects, with a mute toggle. Built on Three.js, no plugins, runs on a phone or a laptop.
Public-domain cast
Original designs rooted in public-domain Grimm tales — no third-party characters, no borrowed brands.
Local stats
Your results are saved in your browser. Online leaderboards are planned, not wired — nothing leaves your device today.
More to come
Rally points, non-circular tracks, and a shrinking cursed-zone battle royale are next on the bench. Follow along in the Lab.
