Method
How we pick the six.
A short list, a public number for each game and a date on every check.
What gets on the list
Every game must start free in a browser tab, with no download and no account. Each one on the list today also holds a player rating of 8.2 or higher on CrazyGames, from at least 200,000 votes.
Six is a deliberate limit. A short list leaves room to say what each game asks of you: which keys it uses, whether two people can share a keyboard, and whether you play against strangers online.
Where the numbers come from
The rating and vote count on each card are the ones CrazyGames shows for that game, copied on 21 October 2026. CrazyGames players vote on each game they try; we do not adjust the figures or add our own score.
We do not run performance benchmarks. CrazyGames lists all six as playable on phones as well as desktop, and the cards say so for that reason.
How the order is set
Highest rating first. Bloxd.io and Basketball Stars share 8.4, so Bloxd.io, with almost 8 million votes, goes ahead. Cubes 2048.io and Getaway Shootout share 8.2 and are ordered the same way.
Links and money
Play buttons open the game's own page on CrazyGames. The links carry no referral code, and Arcade Orchard receives nothing when you follow them. Games on CrazyGames show ads, which are run by CrazyGames, not by us.
Corrections
Ratings move every day. If a figure on a card looks out of date, write to hello@arcadeorchard.com and we will update it with the new date.
