Small games, no fuss

QuackGames.net is a little arcade of browser games: a daily crossword, reflex tests, an idle clicker, a virtual pet, a physics puzzle, Pokémon trivia, a tier list maker and two arcade games you can play online. No downloads, no accounts.

Privacy

There are no accounts, no ads and no analytics or tracking scripts on this site.

  • Your browser keeps your progress. Crossword streaks, saves, best scores, tier lists (including any pictures you add to them), texts you paste into Duck Type and settings are stored in your browser’s local storage on this device. They never leave it unless you post a score to a leaderboard. Clearing your site data resets them.
  • Online games. When you play a game online (Neon Cycles, Quad Pong, Chess, Smoothie Spin, Big Apple Tycoon, Ludo or one of the party games), your browser connects to our game server with the name you type. The server keeps that name, your room, your moves (in party games that includes votes and anything you type for the game, like a lie in Two Truths) and your IP address in memory only while the room is open, so we can run the game and block abuse. Nothing is written to disk, and a room is gone an hour after its last use.
  • Leaderboards. Posting a score is up to you. When you do, our game server saves the name you type, the score and when you posted it, and shows the name and score to everyone. Your browser also sends a random ID it made up, so you can improve your own entry later; it isn’t linked to you. We don’t save your IP address with it. Please use a nickname, not your real name. We remove names that are rude or look like someone’s personal details, and daily boards are deleted after two weeks. In Duck Type only your speed is sent, never what you typed; texts you paste in yourself never go on a board.
  • Bug reports and suggestions. When you send one, we save your message, the kind of message, the page you sent it from and when. For a bug report you can also include your browser’s name and version and the window size. We don’t ask for your name or email and don’t save your IP address, so we can’t reply; please leave personal details out of the message. Only we can read them, and we delete them once they’re dealt with or no longer useful.
  • Fonts are served from this site, not from Google.
