BizziBee Arcade

A free browser arcade of more than eighty original games — arcade, action, sports, puzzle, two-player and learning — that starts playing in a couple of seconds, installs to a home screen, and works with no connection at all.

The challenge

Free browser-game sites are a well-populated and mostly unpleasant category. The usual experience is an interstitial ad, a sign-up wall, a coin economy pushing you toward a purchase, and a game that takes fifteen seconds to load because it arrived through three ad networks first.

The premise here was the opposite one, and it constrains everything downstream: a player should be able to tap a game and be playing it, with no account, no currency and no interruption. That rules out the business model most of these sites run on, so the site has to earn its keep by being the one people come back to.

Our solution

Everything is HTML5 and runs in the page. No Flash, no plugins, no downloads — which in 2026 matters less as a technical claim than as a promise about what happens when you click: the game starts.

The catalogue is organised as three hubs rather than one long grid, because eighty games presented as a single list is a wall, not a choice. Each hub has its own identity and its own reason to exist.

What we built

• 37 arcade titles across action, sports, puzzle, strategy, casual and multiplayer — browsable by category or through search.
• Squish & Squash, a hub of 20 two-player mini-games — Tank Clash, Wizard Wars, Squish Fighter, Dragon Claw and more — playable solo against AI or against a friend on one keyboard, a gamepad or a touchscreen.
• SmartBeez, a learning hub of 27 educational games across science, language arts and chemistry: build circuits, launch projectiles, split light through a prism, assemble atoms, crack ciphers, and run a chemistry lab with 41 chemicals and 55+ reactions. Aligned to NGSS and Common Core, with progress tracking and a teacher view.
• Triviasaurus, a party multiplayer game with 1,000+ questions and modes including Draw Battle, Word Chain and Reaction Speed.
• MathLympics, ten mental-arithmetic mini-games covering addition, multiplication and geometry.
• A progressive web app: installable to a home screen, full-screen, with offline play and notifications when new games land.
• A category rail down the side — Popular, Action, Sports, Puzzle, Strategy, 2-Player, Learn, Squish & Squash, Trivia and Stats — plus search across every game, so eighty titles stay navigable instead of becoming a wall.

Technical decisions

Progressive web app rather than native. A games site distributed through app stores pays a revenue share and waits on review for every update. As a PWA it installs from the browser, updates the moment we deploy, and still gets a home-screen icon and full-screen play.

Offline by design, not as a fallback. The service worker caches the shell and the games, which is what makes the install genuinely worth doing — the arcade works on a plane or a school network that has blocked half the internet.

Local multiplayer over netcode. Squish & Squash puts two players on one device rather than building matchmaking and servers. It is a smaller engineering problem and a better fit for how people actually play a browser game together.

An education hub built to a standard. Aligning SmartBeez to NGSS and Common Core, with a teacher view and progress tracking, is what separates 27 educational games from 27 games with a maths skin.

What shipped

Eighty-four games across three hubs, all free, none behind a sign-up, and none requiring a download. The arcade installs as an app and keeps working with the connection off.

It is a working demonstration of something we tell clients: a browser is a serious delivery platform, and a PWA gets you most of what an app store does without the store.

Tech stack

HTML5, Canvas and WebGL game builds, service-worker caching for offline play, web app manifest for install, client-side search and progress tracking.
