About
Built for players who love a challenge
ArcadeSkill is a free collection of skill-based browser games with real leaderboards. No downloads, no subscriptions, no pay-to-win. Just you, your brain, and the clock.
What we're about
We built ArcadeSkill because we wanted a place to play genuinely fun, quick skill games without being bombarded by ads every 30 seconds or hit with paywalls. Every game on ArcadeSkill is completely free to play — forever.
The leaderboards are the heart of the site. Whether you're chasing a personal best or trying to knock someone off the top spot, there's always something to play for. Weekly leaderboards reset every Monday, giving everyone a fresh shot at the crown 👑
We're a small independent project, kept free by the ads you see on the site. We keep them as unobtrusive as possible — we hate intrusive ads as much as you do.

How leaderboards work
Every score you submit is saved to your profile. The leaderboard shows each player's personal best — so it always reflects your finest performance, not just your most recent game.
There are two leaderboards for each game: All Time (your best score ever) and This Week (your best score since Monday). Weekly leaderboards reset every Monday at midnight UTC.
The top 3 players on each weekly leaderboard earn a crown badge 👑🥈🥉. You need a free account to save scores — sign in with Google to get started.
Fair play
We take fair play seriously. Scores that appear suspicious or impossible are reviewed and may be removed. Accounts found to be cheating will be banned.
If you spot something that looks like a suspicious score on the leaderboard, you can report it to us at hello@arcadeskill.com.
Get in touch
We're always happy to hear from players — whether it's a bug report, a game suggestion, or just to say hello.
