About BoredKid.com

Free browser arcade. No download. No sign-up needed.

BoredKid.com actually started out in 2005 as an awesome hangout spot for people who loved playing online arcade games. Then, unfortunately, the domain was lost because it wasn't renewed on time. I thought I'd never get it back. One day, I saw that the domain was available for sale, and this time I said, it's time to bring BoredKid.com back. So here we are! I hope you enjoy all of the games on this site.

BoredKid.com is an independent online arcade for anyone with a few spare minutes and a browser. Pick a game, hit play, and try to beat the leaderboard. There is nothing to install and you never need an account (a free, optional one keeps your scores and game stuff safe), and the games run on desktop computers, phones, tablets, and even in-car browsers.

How the games are made

Every game on BoredKid.com is written using Claude Code assistance. This allows us to create the vision we have in mind without unrealistically going and coding each game by hand. While coding was where the original BoredKid.com came from, AI assistance allows us to bring real, raw, and amazing games to you every day from a creative mind that comes from a coding background. It's what allows our vision to become a reality. No slop. No garbage. Real games written with real vision and real heart put into every one of them. That is why they load quickly, work on almost any device, and need no plug-ins. Games are added and updated regularly, and the retro look is intentional: bright neon colors, pixel fonts, and the feel of a late-night arcade.

Leaderboards

Most games have a global high-score table. When you make the board you can enter a display name to go with your score. Names are public, so please pick a nickname rather than your real name. Scores that look automated or names that are offensive are removed. See our Terms of Use for the details.

Why the site is free

BoredKid.com costs real money to host and real time to build. To keep every game free to play, the site may show advertising from third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense. Ads are kept outside the game area so they do not get in the way of play. You can read how advertising and cookies work in our Privacy Policy.
