I made a little website you can only visit when your phone is in airplane mode. Enjoy that short moment of disconnection.

Curious if it is easy for you to get there?

Very nice. One little bug report: maybe delay the appearance of the instructions until the data for the background music finishes loading - else only a short part of it gets played, which is taking away from the experience and the message.

That's a good one! Fixed with a preloading :)

I couldn't work out how to enter it on Firefox on Android.

I went to airplane mode, then I noticed I still had WiFi on, then tried to load the site again, the only difference was it said it had 0 visitors.
