Free browser games: 10 to play right now
Every game on Playpit is a free browser game that runs in a tab. Nothing to download, no launcher, no account and no app store. You click a link and you’re playing, on a laptop or a phone.
Here’s everything, sorted by what you’re in the mood for.
Free browser games that teach something
Wheelabout — a learn to drive game. Roundabouts, traffic lights, give-way lines and oncoming traffic, marked the way a driving test marks you.
Swivelhead — a crossing the road game where you turn your head to look. Swipe on a phone, or move the mouse. Look both ways, judge the gap, cross. It marks the decision you made, not whether you got away with it.
Free browser games for building
Bloomstead — a calm block building game where you dig, farm and decorate. Worlds come from a number you can share, and your best view becomes a postcard whose link drops a friend into the same spot.
Stackpark — a sunny island and a box of oversized toy parts that never runs out. Stack, paint, walk around what you made, and send a link that rebuilds it exactly.
Free browser puzzle games
Loomlight — an element combination game. Water and earth make mud, and 180 hand-drawn things open up from four. A new target every day and a score you can share without spoiling it.
Glasswort — a colour sorting puzzle. Pour colours between bottles until each one holds a single colour, except the bottles don’t all empty the same way.
Butterslip — a slide puzzle game. You’re a pat of butter on a griddle: slide until you hit something, butter every pancake, serve in the fewest moves.
Starskip — golf in space. Flick a star past planets into a ring, in as few shots as you can. A new course every day.
Free browser action and strategy games
Kryve — a browser-based first person shooter with no launcher and no 50GB download. The squad uses cover properly and only sees what it can actually see.
Korveth — a browser RTS. Collect crystals, build an army, and knock down the rival base before it knocks down yours.
Emberfell — an adventure across dark highlands, carrying the last spark to a beacon that’s been out a long time.
Frequently asked
Do I need to download anything? No. Every game runs in the browser.
Do I need an account? No. Nothing here asks you to sign up, and progress saves in your browser.
Are they really free? Yes. Nothing to buy, nothing to unlock, no paywalls.
Do they work on a phone? Most of them do, including the parking game and Swivelhead, where you turn your head with a swipe. The shooter, the strategy game, the two building games and the driving game still need a mouse and a keyboard. Every game card says which it is.
Is there chat? No. There’s no way for players to message each other, which makes these safe to leave a child playing.
