About the Arcade

Where all of this came from.

Made by Henry

Henry designs and builds games. Every cartridge in this arcade is one of his — the art, the rules, the jokes, the physics that mostly works.

The first one was Drop Zone. Then there were a few more, and then there were enough that they needed somewhere to live. That somewhere is this page.

0Games

Drop ZoneThe first one
v1.0Arcade version

Your Arcade Card

Every player gets a membership card — a member number, badges, coins, and whatever hat Fred is wearing for you — and it lives right here in this browser.

Who is Fred?

Fred is a turkey. He cannot really fly, which has never once stopped him trying — see Fred’s Flight, where that is the entire plot. He lives in a log in a bog in Fred’s Bog, and he keeps turning up in games until eventually he was made the mascot of the whole place.

He greets you at the top of the page, shrugs when a search finds nothing, and wears whatever hat you have unlocked for him.

Meet the cast

Fred is the mascot, but he is not the only one who keeps showing up.

The Hero

Fred

A turkey. Cannot fly. Will not stop trying. Wears whatever hat you give him.

The Sidekick

Joe

A stick figure who loves two things: shovels and ’Merica. In that order, most days.

The Villain

The Shnooble

Pineapple body. Top hat. A tail with peanut butter on the end. Nobody knows why. Nobody asks.

How it works

Every game is a single page of HTML that runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is installed, nothing is downloaded, and no account is needed to play.

Your badges, coins, favourites and arcade card live in your own browser and never leave your device. The arcade collects no personal information whatsoever — no email, no password, no name beyond the three initials you choose for yourself.

A few games are affectionate parodies of games Henry likes, made for fun and not for sale.

Install it as an app

Put Henry’s Arcade on your home screen or desktop. It opens full-screen with its own icon, and any game you’ve already opened keeps working even when the wi-fi drops.

Works in Safari, Chrome and Edge. Tap the button and it shows the steps for your browser.

Stay on one page

There’s a version of the arcade where every game opens inside the page. The top bar and your place in the list are still there when you close a game, and the back button brings you home.

🖼️ Open the frame version

Take it with you

The whole arcade — every game, the store, the badges — also comes as one single file that works with no internet at all. Save it once and it plays from a laptop on a plane, a school computer, or anywhere else the wi-fi is bad.

💾 Download the offline arcade

One HTML file, about 3 MB. Open it in any browser.

What’s changed

The arcade gets updated often. Every change is written down.
