A Curated Browser Gaming Platform

Free Browser Games. No Downloads.

YoyoArena is a library of 23 original arcade, puzzle and strategy games, built by YoyoArena and played in your browser. Pick a game and press play; a free account is optional.

Three Simple Steps

From Click to Play

1. Pick a Game

Browse the library by category: arcade, puzzle or strategy. Every game has its own page with a description, the controls, tips and a few FAQs, so you know what to expect before the first round.

2. Press Play

The Play button on a game page opens the game in the same page, and an account is not needed. Touch works in every game, and many also take a mouse or keyboard keys; each game page lists its controls.

3. Beat Your Best

Many games keep your best score or progress in your browser, on the device you play on, so you can come back and beat it. A free account adds a dashboard and a profile page; it does not store your scores.

How the Games Are Made and Played

Built by YoyoArena

All 23 games were made by YoyoArena and are hosted on this site. None is licensed from another game provider or embedded from another site.

Portrait-First, Any Device

The games are laid out for a phone held upright and also run in a desktop browser. They load inside the browser tab, so there is nothing to install.

Your Best Stays on Your Device

Many games keep a best score or progress in your browser's storage. The games do not send scores to our servers, so there are no shared leaderboards, and clearing your browser data removes the saves.

Free to Play

Playing and registering cost nothing, and the site sells nothing. Ads, where they appear on the site, are meant to cover the running costs.
