About Zaki Games
Last updated: November 13, 2026
Zaki Games is a small, independent browser-games site. It has two very different parts: a curated library of free games supplied by partner platforms, and a set of games built here from scratch. This page explains what we actually make, what we only host, and what happens to the few bytes of data your browser keeps.
1. What we build ourselves
The games under Zaki Originals are written by us in plain JavaScript and canvas, with no game engine, no account system and no installer. They are deliberately small: one-screen rules, a single input, and a run you can finish in a couple of minutes. Each one is designed to work with either a touch screen or a keyboard, and each one keeps its own high score in this browser.
The current line-up includes Penalty Duel (a two-phase shootout), Puck Clash (same-screen air hockey), Stack Up (one-tap tower building), Flip Tunnel (a gravity runner), 512 (the sliding number puzzle), Grid Clues (a clue-driven mine puzzle), Picross (nonograms) and Neon Catch (a falling-object arcade). Two longer RPG Maker projects, Oneiroi Mysteries and Guardian of the Demon Village, are also ours and are hosted on their own subdomains and on partner platforms.
2. What we only host
The rest of the catalogue comes from game distribution partners. Those games are embedded, not rewritten, and the short descriptions on their pages come from the provider feed. Because that text appears on many other sites, we keep those pages out of search results entirely. They remain fully playable; they simply are not submitted for indexing.
3. Progress stays on your device
There are no accounts and no player database. Finishing a round of one of our own games sends a score from the game frame to this page, which turns it into XP, badges, daily-challenge progress, per-game best scores and a small local leaderboard. All of it lives in this browser under a handful of storage keys. Nothing is uploaded, nothing identifies you, and clearing site data wipes it. The local data page lists every key and exactly what it holds.
4. How we write about games
Every guide on an in-house game page is written from the game itself: the rules as implemented in the code, the scoring formula, the difficulty steps and the questions we actually get asked. When a rule changes, the guide changes with it and the correction is noted on the changelog. Our editorial policy spells out the standard in detail.
5. How the site is funded
The site is supported by advertising: display ads on some pages and advertising served inside third-party games by their providers. There is no payment, no pay-to-win mechanic and no premium tier in any Zaki Original. Advertising partners may use cookies, which is covered in the Privacy Policy. Ads never change which games we recommend or what a guide says.
