Almost never. Every game on the cartridge wall is free to play right here in the browser: no download, and no account needed. A few sealed cartridges in the Members only room are for Members, and Members pay for new games.

Your scores on the high-score boards under your username, a profile with a pet robot room, coins and a daily reward. Your progress is saved in your browser.

Member is $5 a month. It pays for new games and opens the members-only games, unlocks every pet creature and colour on your profile, members-only shop items and a Member badge, and lets you change your username once every 30 days.

Membership belongs to an account, so log in or create one first.

The coin drops into the Donate robot's box, and the support page opens in a new tab. There you tap the amount again and pay, so nothing is charged on this page.

A donation is a one-time payment toward new games. It needs no account and adds no perks beyond a thank-you badge if you are logged in.

Membership renews every month until you cancel. Cancel any time in Account settings: Manage billing opens Stripe, where you can change your card, see invoices or cancel.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details never reach the arcade.

Not yet. The Workshop plan is not on sale, which is why its card is taped shut. It is planned as Member plus downloads from the Graveyard Arcade library: 3D models, animations, effects and music.

Today you can join as a Member for $5 a month.

New personal bests set on the score boards this month, strongest medal first. A new month starts on the 1st, Norway time.

Play logged in to post a score. Every game also saves your best in this browser.

You pick your username once, and after that it is permanent. Members can change theirs once every 30 days. No real names.

Your email confirms your account and resets your password. Other players never see it.
