🎯 Our Mission
Weekly Arcade is a free browser gaming platform that releases a new original HTML5 game every week. Every game is playable instantly on any device — no downloads, no installations, no accounts, and no ads.
We believe gaming should be accessible to everyone. The browser gaming market is projected to reach $35.1 billion by 2027 (Mordor Intelligence), and we're building for that future: instant-play games that work on any device with a web browser. Learn how we build a new game every week.
📊 By the Numbers
⚙️ How It Works
Every game on Weekly Arcade follows the same principles:
- Instant play — Games load in under 1.5 seconds. No loading screens, no splash pages.
- Mobile-first — Touch controls, responsive layouts from 320px to 2560px, and 44x44px minimum touch targets following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
- Accessible — WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast,
prefers-reduced-motionsupport, and keyboard navigation. - Offline-capable — Every game works offline via Service Worker caching. Install as a PWA for app-like access.
- No account required — Guest play has zero restrictions. Optional Google Sign-In unlocks leaderboards, cloud saves, and achievements.
🛠️ Our Tech Stack
