Free offline games you can play in your browser

How offline play works on crokocat

Every page on crokocat registers a small service worker, the standard browser feature that lets a site keep files on your device. When you play a game, its files are stored alongside your saved progress. The next time you open that game, the browser asks the network first, so online you always get the latest build; if there is no network, it falls back to the stored copy and the game starts anyway.

Two rules follow from that. First, a game has to be opened once while you are online, on the device and in the browser you plan to use offline; a game you have never played has nothing stored yet. Second, the copy lives in your browser's site data, so clearing site data or using a private window means starting over. If a game does not start offline, open it once more with a connection, play a level, and it will be there next time.

Put crokocat on your home screen

On Chrome, Edge and Android phones an install button appears in the top bar of crokocat when the browser offers it. Installing adds a crokocat icon that opens full screen, without the address bar, like an app. On an iPhone or iPad, open crokocat in Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. Either way it is the same site and the same games, just one tap away, and it takes no more space than the games you have played.

Card games for a long trip

Solitaire Blast is classic Klondike with draw one or draw three, unlimited undo, free hints and a deal of the day; your board and score are saved automatically, so a game interrupted at a station picks up where it stopped. Open Cells is FreeCell, with all fifty-two cards face up and every deal checked so it can be won, which makes it a puzzle you can think through rather than a gamble. Both are well suited to offline play: a deck of cards never needed the internet in the first place.

Puzzles that never ask for a connection

Tile Temple is mahjong solitaire: take free tiles off in matching pairs until the layout is clear, with undo, shuffle and a hint always on hand and no timer at all. Grid Zen is sudoku where every puzzle has one answer and can be solved by logic alone, with pencil notes, three hearts and one free hint per level. Flag Field is minesweeper made fair: the first dig is always safe and every field can be finished without a guess.

For something faster, 2048 slides and merges number tiles toward the 2048 tile and lets you keep going past it, and Block Crush is an 8×8 block puzzle in the spirit of Block Blast, with no timer and no rotation. Memory is the pairs game, growing from six cards to thirty, with no timer and no way to lose. Letter Sweep is a themed word search whose grids get trickier as words start running diagonally and backwards.

Board games against the computer, or with the person next to you

Pawnstorm is chess against a bot that starts friendly and gets sharper with every level, Crown Hop is checkers and draughts in four rule sets, and Flipside is reversi, the game also sold as Othello. The computer opponent runs inside the game itself, so it plays just as well with no signal. All three also have a two-player mode for two people passing one phone, tablet or laptop, which is about the most offline way to play there is.

What still needs the internet

Anything that talks to other people does. Cube Arena's public and private rooms are live multiplayer, like counts and leaderboards update only online, and a game you have never opened has nothing stored yet. Arrow Cube loads its 3D engine from a public library server, so it may not start offline unless your browser happens to have kept that file. Everything else on this page keeps your progress on your device and needs nothing from the network once it has been played.
