Pocket Arcade: 100 games, no download required

Pocket Arcade started from a simple idea: a game should be one tap away. No store page, no install, no account. Open the site on a phone or a computer, pick something, and play.

A hundred games, thirteen moods

Pocket Arcade holds 100 original 2D games made by Intellara Labs. They are grouped into 13 categories, including classic arcade, puzzle, board and card games, sports, strategy and rhythm, so you can pick by mood rather than scrolling through a long list.

The home screen features a game, such as Brick Blast, alongside quick picks and a ‘Pick a mood’ grid. Every game has a short quick guide that explains the goal and the keyboard and touch controls before you start.

Something new every day

Daily challenges bring a new word puzzle, word wheel and sudoku every day, plus three spotlight games. They give regular players a reason to come back and give new players an easy place to start.

Favourites, achievements and best scores are saved on your device. There is no account to create, so the first game starts as soon as the page loads.

Play it now

Pocket Arcade is free to play in the browser, with no sign-up, downloads or purchases. It works on desktop and on phones, with touch controls where a game needs them.

Open it, choose a category, and see how many of the hundred you can beat.
