Frequently asked questions

Are the games free? Do I need an account?

Yes. Dynamic Arcades games are free to play, with no subscription or app installation needed. An account is optional and free. There are currently no ads.

How do I start a game?

Choose a game from the games catalogue, open its page and press Play. The game downloads into your browser after you press Play, so the first load may take a little time. You need an internet connection to load the site and game files.

Can I play on a phone or tablet?

Device support varies by game. Check the game's page for its supported inputs and Controls before playing. A game that needs a keyboard or mouse may not be suitable for a touchscreen. Browser and device capabilities also affect performance; we do not guarantee every game on every device.

Why does a game say Coming soon?

It does not have a playable build available yet. Coming soon entries cannot be launched. Choose an available game from the catalogue to play now.

Where can I find the controls?

Look for the Controls section on the game's page and any instructions inside the game. After loading, click or tap inside the game so it can receive your input. Keyboard, mouse and touch support vary by game.

What should I do if a game will not load or freezes?

Check your connection and allow time for the first download. If the player shows an error, select Try again. For a frozen game, try Restart or reload the page; this may lose your current run. If the problem continues, try an up-to-date browser or another device, and close unused tabs to free memory.

Avoid clearing site data as a first troubleshooting step: it can erase saved progress and preferences.

How do I turn music and sound effects on or off?

Use Music: on/off beneath the game for background music. Sound effects are controlled separately inside the game. Your music preference is remembered in this browser when storage is available.

Audio starts after you interact with the page. If you cannot hear it, check the music button, the game's sound setting, your device volume and whether the browser tab is muted. If Retry music appears, use it to retry the soundtrack download. Background music pauses while the tab is hidden.

Can I make the game fullscreen?

After the game loads, use Fullscreen in the player bar. Use Exit fullscreen to return, or Escape on a keyboard where supported. Fullscreen availability depends on your browser and device.

Is my progress saved? Can I continue on another device?

Saving varies by game; a saved best score does not necessarily mean an unfinished run is saved. Where saves are supported, they stay in the browser and device you used. A few games can also keep their progress in a free account, so it follows you to another device when you sign in.

Why have my scores or preferences disappeared?

Check that you are using the same browser, browser profile and device. Clearing site data can remove records and settings. Private browsing or blocked browser storage can prevent records from lasting after a session. We do not keep a cloud backup to restore deleted local saves.

Can I turn analytics off?

Yes. Analytics is on by default and helps us see which games people enjoy. Use Analytics settings in the footer, when available, to turn it off; every game plays exactly the same. See our privacy page for details.

How can I share a game with a friend?

Use Share game on the game's page, or copy its page address from your browser. Sharing a link does not transfer your saved progress.
