🧠How to Use Claude to Build Mini Apps with One prompt
Game on with Claude!
Hello There 👋
We’ve all seen what AI can do — write essays, create logos, and even plan your next vacation better than you can. But here’s what really hits:
What used to take a full dev team and weeks of coffee-fueled chaos… now takes just you and a clever prompt.
So why just scroll through ideas when you can actually build them?
Today, we’re bringing one of Netflix’s most chaotic challenges to life — as a mini web app.
Let’s play a little game… Tukuretumm.. 🎶
Claude helped us bring Squid Game’s Glass Bridge game to life! 👇️
🎮️ How to Build a Mini Web App Using Claude – Full Workflow
📌Note: Anthropic latest Claude update lets any user (yep, even free) build and publish interactive web apps — just from a prompt. View, edit, host, and share — all in one place.
Here's how to bring your idea to life:
1.Create a Claude account
Go to Claude.ai and sign up or log in.
2.Access the Artifacts panel
On the left, you’ll see an “Artifacts” section. You might get a prompt asking for access — just hit "Yes".
3.Head to the Artifacts section to browse community-built apps — from calculators and AI chatbots to mini games and productivity tools.
Then, click “New Artifact” (top right)

Claude AI: Click on the “new artifact”
4.🎯 Choose Your App Type
When prompted, simply choose the type of app you want to create.
For this tutorial, we chose "Games" to recreate the iconic Squid Game: Glass Bridge.

Note: we chose Games
5.Enter your Super Prompt
Describe your app idea in natural language.
Example: "Build a mini-game inspired by Squid Game’s Glass Bridge. There are 10 steps. At each step, the user picks Left or Right. Only one is safe per step. If they choose wrong, the game ends. If they get to the end, they win."
(Or use Prompt Genie to whip one up instantly!)
6.Answer Claude’s follow-up questions
It might ask for game rules, UI ideas, or preferred frameworks (you can keep it simple). Once you answer, Claude will generate live code on the fly.

7.Test your game
Try out the inputs! Miss a step? Fall off the bridge. Make it to the end? Claude will throw some confetti.

8.Fix bugs? Easy. Just click “Try fixing with Claude”
Claude handles those annoying errors in one click.
9.Share your creation
Click “Publish,” copy the link, and boom — your app is live for the world to see. Open it in a new tab or check it anytime in My Artifacts.
Wanna see the one we built?
Access the game. Play it.
And let us know… did you survive the bridge or fall flat? 😈
(Spoiler: You only get 50% odds. Choose wisely.)
