What we host
Peabody's arcade has 17 games, and each one has to keep these promises. A game that cannot keep them is not built, or is taken off the shelves.
The learning is inside the world
A question is never a quiz that stops the game. It is a sign, a door or a creature in the game, and you answer with the game's own move. A new idea slows the game down and never stops it. A wrong answer costs a moment and never a life.
No ads, nothing to buy
No banners, no video ads, no pop-ups, no gems, no energy, no "upgrade" and no trial. Every game is free for every child.
No chat and no strangers
A child never types to another child. There are no comments, no usernames to share and no open rooms. Where friends play together, it is inside a family or a class, with preset phrases only.
No tracking by anyone else
We count how long a game is played, with our own counter, to learn which games are worth improving. There is no third-party tracking and nothing about a child is sold or shared.
Nothing is there for the fun of hurting someone
Where a game has fighting, it is cartoon fighting, and each game wears a rating and a youngest age on its card. A grown-up can switch whole categories off for a child.
No sign-up to play
Every game opens on the first tap, as a guest, on a school Chromebook or a phone. An account only saves things.
Three boxes, and easy first
Answers are always a choice of three, never typing. Every game starts easy and gets harder only as a child gets it right.
The families
- 🔢 Numbers (13): Count, add, multiply and divide inside the game.
- 🔤 Words (13): Sounds, spelling, sight words and vocabulary.
- 🧩 Puzzles (3): Think it through: blocks, matches, memory and logic.
- 🏁 Racing and running (3): Run, jump, race and dodge.
- 🧱 Building (4): Make worlds, parks, pets and farms.
- 🧊 3D worlds (10): Games you move around inside. They want a newer device.
For teachers
Every game page says what it practises and which standards it supports, what it needs (keyboard, mouse or touch) and whether it runs on a school Chromebook. See also games to play at school.
