About
A modern, free-to-play arcade with retro roots and games that keep improving.
One arcade, nine games
Pixel Vault is a free, browser-based arcade with Chess, Checkers, Tetris, Star Defender, Neon Snake, Pong, Oregon Trail, Minesweeper, and Retro Racing. You can play solo, challenge computer opponents, or use local two-player modes in selected games.
Records, fairness and progress
The site stores personal records and settings in your browser. Global leaderboard entries use a short name or initials (up to three characters). Global submissions use automated verification and anti-cheat checks; protection is still being improved.
Retro Racing credits and unlockable cosmetics are fictional in-game rewards; they are not real currency.
Made to keep growing
Pixel Vault is an evolving independent browser-arcade project. Features and game balancing may change as the site is updated. Have suggestions or accessibility feedback? See the Accessibility page or email pixelvaultarcade@gmail.com.
The project is not affiliated with the original publishers of classic games or with the Chess.com service. Stockfish and Stockfish.js are independently developed open-source projects and are credited separately.
