A game arcade that lives in your browser.

Open Arcade is a shelf of 174 free games that play the moment you land. No installs, no downloads, no launcher. You open the page and you are already playing.

Play first, read later

The first game loads right away, the dice shuffles you into a new one, and every game has its own page with how to play written in plain words. Sign in with Discord and your progress saves across visits. Friends online show up in the corner, and multiplayer games can pull them in with you.

Every kind of shelf

Explorable 3D worlds, the six two-player Duel games, classic puzzles, cozy oddities, and a growing Assets shelf of little 3D rooms and voxel pieces you can orbit and study. If a game can be remixed, it says so with a green Free to remix pill.

Makers welcome

The arcade is not just ours. Anyone we switch on can upload an HTML game, a folder, or a zip, and it gets its own page, its own cover, and a maker profile collecting everything they have made. Builders also earn from bounties: post good work in our Discord and Dave approves every payout himself.

Part of E2

Open Arcade is built by E2, the kinder corner of the internet, and its Studio cast of characters. The games here star our people, our places, and our stories, alongside the best free games we can find anywhere.
