A free arcade you can actually trust
ArcadeHog is built for kids and designed for parents. We pick a corner of the internet that the big game sites donât serve well â one where every game is age-appropriate, the ads arenât creepy, and nothing is trying to trick your child into spending money or leaving the page.
Every game is hand-checked
Games are screened against a strict content filter before they ever appear on the site â and reviewed by a person. Anything with violence, weapons, scary themes, gambling, or mature content is automatically excluded.
No creepy tracking ads
We only ever show non-personalized, child-directed ads. That means no behavioral profiling of your child and no ads targeted using their activity â the legal standard for kids-directed sites (COPPA) and then some.
Games canât hijack the page
Every game runs in a locked-down sandbox. An embedded game cannot redirect your child to another website, open pop-up windows, or push them toward an app store or download.
Rewards, not loot boxes
Kids earn coins just by playing and can spend them on fun cosmetic hogs and badges. There is no way to buy coins with real money, and no gambling-style mechanics anywhere on the site.
Play without an account
An account is never required to play. Every game is free and instant in the browser â no sign-up, no email, no personal details needed to start having fun.
Privacy first
We collect as little as possible. If your child does create an account for coins and streaks, we never sell data, and you can ask us to delete the account and all its data at any time.
How we decide whatâs safe
Games come from trusted HTML5 game partners. Before a game is published, it must pass an automated screen that blocks any title, description, or category associated with violence, weapons, horror, gambling, or mature themes. Games that pass are then grouped into kid-friendly categories like Puzzle, Arcade, Racing, Sports, and Adventure.
No filter is perfect. If you ever see something that doesnât belong, every game page has a Report button â reports go straight to our admin team and we act on them quickly.
A note on accounts & age
Kids can browse and play everything without signing in. Accounts exist only to save coins, streaks, and cosmetic hogs. If your family is in the US and your child is under 13, we recommend you create and manage the account, as we follow COPPA guidelines for childrenâs accounts. You can request deletion of any account and its data at any time.
