# About

> Sidekick Arcade is a free browser arcade with no tracking: fast games that play on any phone or computer, online or offline. Take a short break from life.

Free games that open in a second and play anywhere. A short break from life, for a minute or ten.

## Why it exists

Most free game sites are slow, packed with pop-ups and busy following you around the internet. We wanted the opposite: an arcade you open on a coffee break or a train, play a round, and close, with nothing following you out the door.

## What we promise

- **No tracking.** No ad networks, no tracking pixels, no analytics companies, no third-party scripts and no cookies. Your browser talks to our site and nobody else. The [privacy page](https://sidekickarcade.com/privacy/) has the details.
- **Fast.** Every game runs on one small engine your browser keeps after the first visit, so the next game starts almost at once. Nothing to download, nothing to install.
- **Responsive.** Made for a phone in your hand first, then the big screen. Touch, mouse and keyboard get the same speed and the same information, so a score means the same thing on any device.
- **Anywhere, anytime.** Open the site once while online and every game keeps working offline: on a plane, in a tunnel, on hotel Wi-Fi. [How offline works](https://sidekickarcade.com/offline-games/).
- **No sign-up needed.** Play right away. An account is optional, has no password, and is only there to carry your progress between devices.

## Take a break

A round of Snake while the kettle boils. A daily sudoku with your coffee. A long game you get better at for months. Your sidekick, the character you make in the [studio](https://sidekickarcade.com/avatar/), goes with you into every game. Then back to your day.

## How it stays free

A few ads that we sell directly, review by hand and host ourselves, plus plain shopping links to things we like (we may earn a small fee if you buy). No ad network ever sees who you are. Coins are earned by playing and can never be bought.
