Turkey Roundup NewA farmyard buried in fall leaves: clear them with your leaf blower, find the hiding turkeys and send them trotting to the warm barn before the battery runs out.Spider Solitaire NewTwo decks, ten columns: build King-to-Ace runs of one suit to clear them. One, two or four suits, with Undo and hints.Mahjong NewMahjong solitaire with picture tiles: match free pairs to clear 48, 96 or the classic 144-tile turtle. Every deal can be won.Chess NewReal chess against a computer that thinks: easy, medium or hard. Or two players on one screen, with a hint when you're stuck.Solitaire NewClassic Klondike: seven columns, four foundations, one card at a time. Tap to move a card, or drag it.Checkers NewClassic checkers against a computer that thinks: easy, medium or hard. Or two players on one screen. Jumping is up to you.8-Ball Pool NewA full 8-ball table: break, claim solids or stripes, sink the 8. Against the computer or two players on one screen.Maze MuncherMunch the dots, grab a power pellet to turn the ghosts blue, then hunt them down — eat every ghost to clear the level. Eaten ghosts don't come back.Bug BlasterAlien bugs swoop in, form up, and dive-bomb your ship — strafe and blast them out of the sky before they overwhelm you. Clear each wave to face faster swarms.Neon SnakeEat, grow, and don't bite your tail. The classic — with a neon glow and a speed that never lets up.Stack AttackSteer the falling blocks, spin them to fit, and clear full rows before the stack tips over the top.Brick BusterBounce the ball and smash every brick — catch power-ups: grow paddle, slow ball, multi-ball, extra life.Astro BlastRotate, thrust through the drift, and shatter the rocks before they hit you. Big splits into small — clear the field for the next wave.Star DefenderSlide your ship along the bottom and blast the marching alien formation before it steps all the way down to you — dodge the bombs.Paddle BattleClassic paddle tennis. Drag your paddle, angle the ball off its edges, and out-rally the computer — or a friend — to 7.Neon PinballThree balls, two flippers, glowing bumpers and a bonus for lighting every target. Keep it alive and rack up the points.Lunar LanderThrust, tilt, and set the module down gently on the pad. Smaller pads and rougher ground each landing — how many can you make?Missile GuardMeteors are falling on six cities. Tap the sky to burst an interceptor and catch them before they land — waves get faster.Twenty48Slide the tiles, merge matching numbers, and chase the 2048 tile — then keep going for a higher score.Gem CrushSwap adjacent gems to line up three or more, set off cascading combos, and chase a high score.Bubble BurstAim, fire, and match three — clear the colored bubbles before the ceiling pushes them down to the bottom line.Mine HuntClear the field without hitting a mine. Tap to reveal, read the numbers, and flag every mine you can sniff out.Tricky QuizThe obvious answer is almost always wrong. Read every question twice, beat the timers, and outsmart 16 lateral-thinking traps.Tower StackTap to drop each block dead-center — a perfect drop keeps its full width, an overhang gets sliced off. How high can you build?Simon PopFour pads, one growing pattern. Watch, remember, repeat — and see how many rounds your memory can hold.Pair UpFlip two cards, find the pair. Boards grow from 4×4 to 6×6 and the flips are counted — clear each one before they run out.Sudoku KidsSudoku with six digits instead of nine. Every row, column and box holds 1 to 6 once — clashes turn red so you never get lost.Box PusherPush every crate onto its target. You can push but never pull — so don't shove one into a corner. Ten levels, undo included.Pipe RushLay the pipe before the water gets there. The next piece is never the one you want — plan the bend, fill the quota, beat the spill.Flood ItTurn the whole board one colour in 22 moves. Every pick spreads your corner — choose the colour that grabs the most.Slide 15The classic sliding puzzle. Get 1 to 15 back in order — fewer moves and less time mean more points, and every solve shuffles harder.Drop FourDrop your discs and line up four in a row — across, down, or diagonal — before the yellow AI beats you to it.Rooftop RunnerHold to run the rooftops, double-jump the gaps and crates, and grab the coins — you only move when you press.Hop AcrossHop the road dodging traffic, then ride the logs across the river — one lane at a time. Reach the top, again and again.FlapOne tap keeps you airborne. Thread the gaps between the pipes and try to beat your best by just one more.Sky HopperBounce ever higher from platform to platform. Steer left and right, catch the sliding ledges, and don't fall.Helix DropSpin the tower to drop the bouncing ball through the gaps — dodge the red danger segments and dive as deep as you can.Dirt DashGas up the hills, launch off the ramps, and lean so you land with the slope — three wipeouts and the ride is over.Stick ClashMine gold and build a stick army — miners, swordsmen, archers, mages and giants — and overrun the enemy base before they crush yours.Sniper StrikeLook down the scope, drag the crosshair onto the stick-figure soldiers popping up around the outpost, and tag them before they duck — or before the red ones fire.Prison BreakPick the clever escape at each step — most choices get you caught. Bust out through all eight scenes to win.Mole MashTap the moles the instant they pop up — they get faster and faster. How many can you mash before the clock runs out?Dino RunJump the cacti, duck the low birds, and see how far the desert goes. One life, one more go.Tank DuelTwo tanks, one arena, shells that bounce. Play the robot or hand the arrow keys to a sibling — first to five rounds.Beat JumperA cube that never stops. Tap to jump the spikes, land the blocks, hit the pads — and go again the instant you crash.Jetpack RunHold to fly, let go to drop. Thread the zappers, sweep up the coin trails, and see how far the lab goes.Color FlipOne tap flips your ball through four colors. Match the middle of each gate rushing down at you — pass on your color, crash on the rest.Fruit FrenzyFruit arcs up across the screen — swipe your blade through it to slice, chain multi-slice combos, and never, ever cut a bomb.Word BlasterWords fall from space. Type them to blast them before they reach your ship — the typing game that feels like an arcade shooter.Five LettersGuess the hidden five-letter word in six tries. Green, yellow, grey — then tap Next word and go again. How long can your streak go?Word HuntSixteen letters, ninety seconds. Drag through touching letters to spell words — the longer, the more they score.Hoop ShotDrag back and release to launch the ball. Sink the sliding hoop — swishes score extra — before the clock runs out.Balloon SiegeBuild dart, tack, bomb, ice and sniper towers, upgrade them, and pop the balloon waves before they break through.Splat LaunchDrag back the slingshot and fling goo blobs into crate towers — topple the crates, crush the goo-monsters, and save every blob you can.Mini GolfNine holes of mini golf. Pull back, let go, bounce off the walls and drop it in the cup — the fewer strokes, the more points.BowlingTen frames, real scoring, pins that actually scatter. Line it up, add some hook, and go for the strike.Penalty KickPick your spot, stop the power bar, beat the keeper. Every goal adds to the streak — one save ends it.Air HockeyYou at the bottom, the robot at the top, first to seven. It gets faster every game you win.DartsNine darts, a real board, a crosshair that won't hold still. Trebles, doubles and the bull — max 540.

Every game: players, scoring and how to play

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Maze Muncher	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Steer with the arrow keys / WASD, the on-screen D-pad, or a swipe. Dots score points, but the level is cleared by eating every ghost: grab a flashing power pellet to turn them blue, then chomp them before the blue wears off. Eaten ghosts stay gone for the level. A touch from a ghost that isn't blue costs a life; you have 3.
Bug Blaster	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Move left/right with the arrow keys / A-D or the on-screen buttons (or drag), and fire upward with Space / the Fire button. Shoot the bugs in formation and the ones diving at you — divers score more — dodge their bombs, and clear every wave. A hit costs a life; you have 3.
Neon Snake	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Steer with the arrow keys / WASD (or swipe). Eat the glowing food to grow longer. Don't hit the walls or yourself.
Stack Attack	1, or up to 4 online	pts	← → move, ↑ rotate, ↓ soft drop, Space hard drop. Fill a whole row to clear it. It speeds up as you level.
Brick Buster	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Move the paddle with the mouse or arrow keys, launch with tap/space. Catch the falling power-ups. It's forgiving — a slow ball and a wide paddle.
Astro Blast	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Arrow keys / WASD (or the on-screen buttons) rotate and thrust; Space (or the ✦ button) fires. Shatter big rocks into smaller ones, clear the field, and survive ever-faster waves on 3 lives.
Star Defender	1, or up to 4 online	pts	← → move your ship (or hold the on-screen buttons), Space / Fire to shoot. Clear every alien to spawn a faster wave. Bombs and aliens reaching the bottom cost a life — you have 3.
Paddle Battle	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	wins	Drag on the board (or Up/Down arrows, or W/S) to move your paddle. The ball speeds up on every hit and angles off where it strikes. First to 7 wins. Pick 2 Players on the start screen to play a friend on the same screen: W/S for the left paddle, ↑/↓ for the right, or each player drags their own half.
Neon Pinball	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Press Space (or tap the plunger) to launch. Z or ← flips the left flipper, M or → the right; on a phone, tap the left or right half of the table or use the pedals. Bumpers score 100, side targets 250, and lighting all five targets pays 2,000. Three balls.
Lunar Lander	1, or up to 4 online	pts	↑ / W / Space fires the engine, ← → tilt the module (on a phone: the sides of the screen tilt, the middle thrusts, or use the pedals). Land on the green pad slowly and level to score; the gauges turn green when you are slow enough. Crash or land off the pad and the mission ends.
Missile Guard	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap or click in the sky to fire an interceptor that bursts where you aimed (the arrow keys and Space work too, but the keyboard aim point isn't drawn, so a mouse or finger is easier). Meteors caught in the burst are destroyed; one that lands knocks out a city. Shots are limited per wave, and a cleared wave pays a bonus for every city and shot left and rebuilds one city.

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Twenty48	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Arrow keys / WASD to slide every tile (or swipe / use the D-pad). Two equal tiles merge into their sum. Reach 2048 — then keep going!
Gem Crush	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a gem then tap an adjacent gem to swap them (or drag between two). Line up 3+ of one color to clear them; gems fall and cascade for combo points.
Bubble Burst	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Aim with the mouse or ← →, then tap / Space to shoot. Match 3+ of the same color to pop them; clusters cut off from the top fall too. Don't let the bubbles reach the bottom.
Mine Hunt	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a cell to reveal it; the number is how many mines touch it. Long-press, press F, or use the flag toggle to mark mines. Your first tap on each board is always safe. Reveal every safe cell to clear the board and move to a bigger one — hitting a mine ends the run.
Tricky Quiz	1, or up to 4 online	cleared	Tap an answer (or press 1-4). The obvious pick is usually a trap — think laterally about puns, literal wording and double meanings. Some questions are timed, and a few hide the real answer in the scene. You have 3 lives; clear all 16 to win.
Tower Stack	1, or up to 4 online	blocks	Tap (or press Space) to DROP the sliding block onto the stack. Land it dead-center for a perfect stack + combo; any overhang is sliced off and the block shrinks. Blocks speed up as you climb — miss completely and it's over.
Simon Pop	1, or up to 4 online	rounds	Watch the pads light up in order, then tap them back in the same order. Each round adds one more pad to the pattern. Tap the pads, or press 1 2 3 4 (the numbers printed on the pads) or Q W / A S, which sit like the pads.
Pair Up	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a card to flip it, then another. A matching pair stays face up and scores 20; a miss flips back. Every board has a budget of flips (one flip = two cards) — clear all the pairs before it runs out for a bonus and the next board.
Sudoku Kids	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a square, then tap a digit (or press 1–6; Backspace clears). Every row, every column and every 2×3 box must contain 1 to 6 exactly once. Digits that clash turn red. Solve it for points that shrink with time; each new puzzle has fewer clues, down to 12.
Box Pusher	1, or up to 4 online	levels	Move with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe on the board, or use the d-pad under it. Walk into a crate to push it one square; you can't pull, and you can't push two at once. Get every crate onto a dashed target to finish the level. Z (or Undo) takes back a move, R restarts the level.
Pipe Rush	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a square to lay the next pipe from the queue (you can lay over a dry one). Water starts from the green tap after a countdown — press ▶ to start it early — and flows one square at a time. Fill the round's quota of squares before it spills to reach the next, faster round.
Flood It	1, or up to 4 online	boards	You own the top-left corner. Pick a colour — tap a button, tap any square of that colour, or press 1–6 — and every square touching your region in that colour joins it. Make the whole 12×12 board one colour within the move limit to clear it; every second board takes one move away, down to 18.
Slide 15	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Slide tiles into the empty space until they read 1 to 15 in order. Tap any tile in the gap's row or column and the whole run slides, or use the arrow keys. Tiles in their home spot turn green. Points reward speed and few moves; each solved puzzle is shuffled harder.

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Solitaire	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap a card to send it where it fits, or drag it: up to a foundation (Ace first, then the same suit in order) or onto a column, one rank lower in the other colour. Tap the deck (or press Space) for the next card; when it runs out, tap it again to turn the pile over. Only a King takes an empty column. Hint shows a useful move, and End game stops the round.
Spider Solitaire	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Build down one rank at a time on any suit, but only a run of one suit moves together. Tap a card to send its run where it fits best, or drag it. A King-to-Ace run of one suit leaves the table; clear all eight to win. When you're stuck, tap the stock for ten more cards (every column needs a card first). Undo takes back a move; Hint suggests one.
Mahjong	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap two free tiles with the same picture to clear them. A tile is free when no tile lies on top of it and its left or right side is open; blocked tiles look darker. Clear the whole table to win. Hint shows a pair (5 points), Shuffle mixes the tiles (20 points), and if no pair is free the tiles shuffle themselves for free.
Chess	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	pts	You are White and move first. Tap a piece, then one of its green dots; a ring marks a capture. Castling, en passant and promotion all work (a pawn on the far row picks its new piece). Arrow keys and Enter work too, and H or Hint shows a good move. Checkmate the king to win; Resign ends the game.
Checkers	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	pts	You are red and move first. Tap a piece, then a green dot to move it one square diagonally forward. Jump over an enemy piece to capture it if you want to (jumping is never forced), and when one jump leads to another you keep going, tapping each landing square. Reach the far row to crown a king, which moves and jumps both ways. Arrow keys and Enter work too. Take every piece, or leave the other side with no move, to win.
Drop Four	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	wins	Tap a column to drop your red disc; the yellow AI answers. Line up four in a row — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — to win the round. Or pick 2 Players on the start screen and take turns with a friend on the same device.

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Rooftop Runner	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Hold → to run (you only move when you press it). ↑ / Space / tap to jump (double-jump!), ↓ dive. Clear gaps and crates, grab coins.
Hop Across	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Arrow keys / WASD (or the on-screen D-pad) hop one lane at a time. Dodge the cars on the road, ride the logs over the river, and reach the top row to score. It speeds up each crossing.
Flap	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap the screen, click, or press Space / Up to flap upward. Fly through the gaps in the pipes — don't hit a pipe or the ground (the ceiling just stops you).
Sky Hopper	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Steer left and right with the arrows / A-D or the on-screen buttons — you bounce automatically. Climb as high as you can without falling off the bottom.
Helix Drop	1, or up to 4 online	depth	Drag left/right (or arrow keys) to SPIN the helix tower. Steer a gap under the bouncing ball so it drops to the next ring — but avoid the red danger segments. Chain clean drops to charge a SMASH that blasts through rings. Deeper = faster = higher score.
Dirt Dash	1, or up to 4 online	pts	↑ / W gas, ↓ / S brake, ← → lean (or the on-screen buttons). Ride the rolling hills, launch off the ramps, and lean in the air so you land with the slope — a bad landing costs one of your 3 lives.
Stick Clash	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Spend gold on the buttons below the field: ⛏ miners walk to the vein and boost your income, ⚔ swordsmen fight up close, 🏹 archers and 🔮 mages attack from range, 🛡 giants soak up damage. Your fighters march on the red base as soon as they appear. Upgrade to toughen your whole army, and fire Rain of Arrows when its meter fills.
Sniper Strike	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag to aim the scope (or use the arrow keys); tap / click / Space fires, or the ◎ FIRE button. Stick-figure soldiers pop up behind cover for a moment — tag them before they duck. A hit on the helmet scores extra. A soldier glowing red is about to fire: tag it first or lose a life. 6-round magazine (R or ⟳ to reload), 3 lives, ten waves.
Prison Break	1, or up to 4 online	steps	Read each scene and tap the smart escape (or press 1/2/3). Wrong moves get you caught and cost a life — you have 3. Clear all eight steps to break free.
Mole Mash	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap or click each mole the moment it pops out of a hole — or press the number pad (7 8 9 over 4 5 6 over 1 2 3) or Q W E / A S D / Z X C, which match the 3×3 holes. A mole is +1 and a golden ★ mole +5; a ⏰ mole adds time, and a 💣 costs points and time. Every 8 hits the moles pop up faster and stay up for less time. The round lasts 30 seconds.
Dino Run	1, or up to 4 online	m	Tap, click, or press Space / ↑ to jump over cacti. Hold ↓ (or the Duck button) to slide under the low birds. The ground speeds up as you run, up to a top speed; score is distance in metres.
Tank Duel	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	wins	Blue is you: W A S D to drive and turn, Space to fire (pedals on a phone). Red is a robot — or tap “vs robot” to switch to two players and a second person uses the arrow keys and Enter on the same keyboard. Shells bounce once off walls and blocks. First to five rounds wins the match.
Beat Jumper	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Tap, click, or press Space / ↑ to jump. The cube slides right on its own; clear the white spikes, land on top of the black blocks (their sides are deadly) and use the orange pads for a boosted jump. One hit ends the run. Score is distance plus 10 per obstacle passed.
Jetpack Run	1, or up to 4 online	m	Hold Space / ↑ / W — or hold your finger on the screen or the pedal — to fly up; let go to fall. Dodge the pink zappers (straight, tilted or upright), collect coins for +10 m each. The lab scrolls faster the further you go. Floor and ceiling are safe; a zapper ends the run.
Color Flip	1, or up to 4 online	gates	Tap the screen, press Space / ↑ / F, or hit the Next colour button to cycle your ball through 4 colors (pink → blue → yellow → green) — or jump straight to one with the keys 1–4 or the colour swatches. Each scrolling gate's middle segment — the one on your dashed lane — is the color you must be before you touch it. +1 per gate; it speeds up every 8 gates.
Fruit Frenzy	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag the mouse or swipe a finger across the flying fruit to slice it — one smooth stroke through several fruits scores a combo bonus. On a keyboard, move the blade with the arrows / WASD and hold Space to slice. Don't slice the 💣 bombs and don't let fruit fall unsliced: either costs a life, and you start with 3. Glowing extras are worth chasing — ❄️ slows the fruit down, ⚡ doubles points, 🛡️ blocks one bomb, 💖 is an extra life and 🍏 is worth 50.
Turkey Roundup	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Move your leaf blower with the mouse, a finger or the arrow keys (WASD too). The turkeys hide under the leaves and only their heads peek out; keep the blower on one until its ring fills and it trots into the barn. Shy pale turkeys run from the noise, golden ones are worth the most and leave if you're slow. Find batteries the same way: the roundup ends when the blower runs out.

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Word Blaster	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Type the first letter of any falling word to lock onto it, then keep typing its letters — every keystroke fires a laser and the last one blows the word up. A word that reaches your ship costs one of three lives. On touch screens use the letter keys under the game.
Five Letters	1, or up to 4 online	streak	Type or tap a five-letter guess and press Enter. Green tile: right letter, right spot. Yellow: right letter, wrong spot. Grey: not in the word. Solve it within six tries to keep your streak, then press Next word for a fresh one — no waiting for tomorrow.
Word Hunt	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag through touching letters — sideways, up, down or diagonally, never the same tile twice — to spell a word, and lift your finger to submit. Or type the word and press Enter. Three letters or more, from our kid dictionary, no repeats. 90 seconds. 3–4 letters score 10, 5 score 20, 6 score 30 and 7 score 50.

Game	Players	Scored in	How to play
Hoop Shot	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag back from the ball and release to set the arc and power (mouse or finger). The hoop slides faster over time. A clean basket is +2, a swish is +3. Score as much as you can in 45 seconds.
Balloon Siege	1, or up to 4 online	rounds	Press Send Round to start — new towers unlock as the rounds go by. Pick a tower from the shop, drop it on open grass beside the path, and it pops balloons in range on its own. Earn money per pop, upgrade your towers during or between rounds, and send the next round when you're ready.
Splat Launch	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag BACK from the slingshot and release to set angle and power — a dotted line previews the arc. Smash the crate towers and pop every goo-monster before you run out of blobs. Keyboard: ↑↓ aim, ←→ power, Space to launch. 4 blobs per level, 8 levels.
Mini Golf	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Press on the course, pull back away from the ball and release to putt — the further from the ball you let go, the harder it rolls. Or aim with ← →, set power with ↑ ↓ and press Space. The ball bounces off walls and only drops when it reaches the cup slowly. Nine holes; the most points for par or better.
Bowling	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag the ball left or right to line it up, then swipe up to bowl (a sideways swipe adds hook). Or ← → to move, ↑ ↓ for hook, Space to bowl. Ten frames with real scoring — strikes and spares carry forward, and the tenth frame has bonus balls.
Penalty Kick	1, or up to 4 online	goals	Tap or click where in the goal you want the ball to go — your tap also stops the swinging power bar. Too little power and the keeper reads it; too much and it sails over the bar. Or move the target with the arrow keys and kick with Space. Goals in a row are the score.
Air Hockey	1, or up to 4 online	wins	Drag your red mallet around your half of the table (or steer it with the arrow keys / WASD) and hit the puck into the robot's goal. First to 7 wins. Beat the robot and it comes back a little faster; games won in a row is your score.
Darts	1, or up to 4 online	pts	Aim with the mouse or the arrow keys — the crosshair wanders around your aim and wanders more each round — then click or press Space to throw. On a touch screen, a tap throws straight away at the spot you touch, give or take the wander. Nine darts, standard scoring: singles, doubles, trebles, outer bull 25 and bull 50.
8-Ball Pool	1 or 2 on one screen, or up to 4 online	pts	Drag back from the white cue ball and let go to shoot: the further you pull, the harder the shot, and the dotted line shows where the first ball will go. The first ball you pocket decides your group, solids or stripes; pocket all of yours, then the 8. Sinking the white or hitting the other group first is a foul, and the other player gets the ball in hand. Arrow keys aim and Space shoots, too.

More about the arcade: every shelf, safety and questions

Classic arcade games

The retro arcade hall, rebuilt for the browser — a ghost-hunting maze chase, two alien space shooters, neon Snake, falling blocks, brick-breaking, space rocks, paddle tennis, a glowing pinball table, a meteor-defence game and a lunar lander.

Puzzle & brain games

Quick-thinking games kids can pick up in seconds: slide-and-merge 2048, match-3 gem swapping, a bubble shooter, a hidden-mines logic puzzle, a trick-question quiz, a light-and-sound memory game, pairs, 6×6 sudoku, a crate-pushing warehouse puzzle, pipe-laying, colour flood, the sliding 15-puzzle and a one-tap tower stacker.

Card & board games

Table classics with nothing to set up: Klondike and Spider solitaire, Mahjong tile matching, chess and checkers against a computer that thinks (or a friend on the same screen) and four-in-a-row.

Action & reflex games

Fast, one-more-go challenges: endless runners including a T-rex desert dash and a jetpack lab, a road-and-river hop, a one-tap flyer and a platform bouncer, a cube jumper, a helix drop, a dirt-bike ride, a stick-army strategy battle, a two-player tank duel, a color-flipping gate runner, a sniper-scope target game, a choose-your-escape story, mole whacking, fruit slicing and a turkey roundup in a leaf-covered farmyard.

Word & typing games

The arcade games that happen to be typing practice: a typing shooter where falling words explode as you spell them, a five-letter word guesser with a streak to keep, and a letter-grid word hunt against the clock.

Sports & strategy

A 45-second basketball shootout at a sliding hoop, nine holes of mini golf, ten-pin bowling with real scoring, a penalty shootout, air hockey against a robot, a dartboard, an 8-ball pool table, a balloon-popping tower-defense siege and a slingshot demolition game — aim, time it right and climb the board.

Yes. Every arcade game is touch-ready and works on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and computers — no keyboard required. On-screen controls appear automatically on touch screens.

What kinds of games are in the arcade?

There are 59 free games spanning classic arcade (a ghost-hunting maze chase, two space shooters, snake, falling blocks, brick breaking, space rocks, paddle tennis), puzzle and brain games (2048, match-3, bubble shooter, hidden mines, trick questions), card and board games (solitaire, spider solitaire, mahjong, chess, checkers, four-in-a-row), action games (endless runners, a road-crossing hopper, dirt-bike riding, a sniper-scope target game, a turkey roundup under the fall leaves and more), sports and strategy (8-ball pool, mini golf, bowling, tower defense and more) and word games.

How does the high-score leaderboard work?

Play any game while signed in with a verified email and your best score is saved automatically (a demo run isn't saved). Each game has its own leaderboard, and a combined Champions board ranks players across the whole arcade — so there's always a top spot to chase.

Why does unlimited play need an account at all?

Because scores post to a public board, and a board with no accounts is a board full of fake numbers within a week. Tying a score to a verified email makes it expensive to flood the leaderboard with junk, which is the only thing that keeps the rankings worth looking at. The account also gives the score somewhere to live, so a run survives closing the tab. That is also why a demo run, which needs no account, saves nothing. If you want something playable with no account and no limit, the keyboard playground on the home page and the fifteen free-tier learning games all qualify.

What age is the arcade for?

Kids. Nothing in the games sets an age: what a player needs is to work the controls, take in a one-line instruction and shrug off losing a life. Plenty of five-year-olds play them cheerfully, older kids chase the leaderboard, and several are a single button or a single tap. For a toddler, the keyboard playground and the early-learning games are built for exactly that stage.

Can another player reach my child here?

No — there is nothing to reach them through. The arcade has no chat window, no inbox, no microphone and no friend list, so one player has no route to send another player anything whatsoever. In an online room, players see each other's nicknames and live scores and nothing else. A leaderboard nickname does have a public player page, but it shows only that nickname’s scores, points and badges, with no way to send it anything. A nickname and a score are the entire extent of what passes between two children. Uploads are absent for the same reason: no custom levels, no avatars, no comment threads. The only words from another family a child can see are leaderboard nicknames, which pass a word filter when a parent sets one and are replaced if anyone reports one.

Can kids play the arcade online with friends?

Yes. Every game has Play online: a child joins everyone playing that game right now, up to 4 a round, or a private room that friends join with a 4-character code. Everyone starts together and the highest score wins; bots, marked as bots, hold empty seats until people arrive. It needs the same free, verified parent account as unlimited play, and there is still no chat: players see only nicknames and scores.

Will my child see ads while playing?

Not on a game's page: it carries no ad units and requests no ads, so nothing sits beside the canvas the game draws on, between levels or between a child and a retry. Ads appear on our other pages, such as the arcade list and the guides. Outside the blog, which is written for adults, every ad request asks for non-personalised ads, and our units carry the child-directed flag, which limits them to contextual fill — matched to the page itself. Nothing is personalised, and nothing your child does is gathered into a profile. That revenue is what keeps this half of the site costing nothing.

Are these copies of the games I remember?

They are original builds in the same genres, not ports and not emulated ROMs. Nobody else’s characters, artwork, sound or code appears in any of them, which is why the names are ours and the art is ours. Practically, that means the arcade will not vanish one day over a rights claim, and there is no emulator warning screen for a child to click through.
