Games with no Arcade point entry cost can be played as a guest. A game with a point entry cost requires a signed-in account; its cost is shown before starting. Signing in also gives access to account features such as linked login providers, game history, and an Arcade points balance.

Each game has device and phone orientation advice. Phone friendly games suit touch play; some larger boards, precise controls, or shared-device matches are more comfortable on a computer. The game guide explains those limits and the available controls. Recommendations do not hide games or force you to rotate your phone.

The current two-player modes share one device. Some games also offer a computer opponent. Check the game's guide to see whether it supports local play, AI practice, or both.

Several board puzzles, including 2048, Sudoku, Solitaire, and Ten Drops, save an unfinished board in the same browser. Jelly Tactics saves its campaign and resolved battle outcomes locally. Adventure progress can save unlocked routes or upgrades rather than every moment of a run. Clearing browser data removes local saves, and local saves do not automatically transfer to another device.

No. Water drops in Ten Drops and coins earned inside an adventure are game resources. Arcade points belong to your account and can be used for a configured game entry or an available continue offer; the site shows that cost before use.
