Gauntle is an online puzzle game built around a daily timed challenge. Each day, players can take on a gauntlet of eleven games, with a single timer tracking how quickly they complete the run. The site presents the challenge as a test of speed and skill, and connects individual results to a global leaderboard where players can compare their times with others. A daily leaderboard highlights the top five runs, while the site also reports the average time and number of runs completed that day.

Players can log in or sign up to participate, and the site offers practice options for those who want to play outside the daily challenge. An archive gives visitors access to past puzzles, extending the experience beyond the latest run. Gauntle also provides links to its Discord community and a donation option, along with settings and information on its terms and privacy practices. With a fresh puzzle gauntlet every day, Gauntle combines a repeatable solo challenge with a shared, competitive ranking experience.
