About PlayPendium

A free arcade of original browser games.

PlayPendium is a large, growing collection of original browser games — more than 800 of them — that you can play instantly, free, with no downloads, installs, or accounts required. Everything runs right in your browser, on desktop and increasingly on phones and tablets.

What makes it different

Every game on PlayPendium is built in-house. Rather than re-hosting other people's games, we design and program each title ourselves — original mechanics, original art, original names. Some are fresh ideas; others are respectful, reimagined takes on genres people love, from maze chases and falling-block puzzles to ancient board games and trick-taking card games.

What you'll find

Arcade & action — fast reflex games, runners, shooters, and classic-arcade homages.
Board & strategy — checkers, chess variants, and dozens of ancient and modern abstract games, many with a computer opponent and online play.
Cards & dice — solitaire, rummy, trick-taking, and dice games against the computer or other people.
Puzzles — sudoku and the full family of logic-grid puzzles, plus word and tile puzzles.
Brainteasers — hundreds of math, logic, word, geography, and knowledge puzzles that give your brain a real workout.

Free and player-friendly

PlayPendium is supported by advertising, which keeps the games free for everyone. We aim to keep ads unobtrusive, the games quick to load, and the catalog easy to browse. Optional accounts add saved progress and leaderboards, and an ad-free option is planned for players who want it.
