About PocketArcade

PocketArcade is a small, honest arcade: original browser games that load in seconds, respect your attention, and never ask for an account.

Most game portals are 90% ads around 10% game. PocketArcade inverts that: eight games we built ourselves, plus three legendary open-source classics (2048, Hextris, Clumsy Bird) hosted unmodified under their own licenses — each page loads instantly and plays immediately.

Every game page carries a real how-to-play guide, strategy tips, and an FAQ — because "figure it out" is not documentation. High scores and best times live in your own browser via local storage; there are no accounts because there's nothing to sign into.

We make games for the moments between things: the five minutes on the train, the pause between tasks. Load fast, play hard, close the tab feeling better than you opened it.

What makes PocketArcade different

  • Your numbers never leave your browser. Every calculator on PocketArcade runs entirely on your device. We never see, store, or transmit the figures you enter — there are no accounts and no server-side processing of your inputs.
  • Published methodology. Each calculator page explains the exact formula it uses and the assumptions behind it, so you can check our work or reproduce it in a spreadsheet.
  • Free, forever, without a paywall. PocketArcade is supported by advertising. There is no premium tier, no email gate, and no upsell.
