About Veranda Games
Veranda Games is a free site for the kind of game you sit down to: a hand of patience, a crossword, a game of chess against the computer. There are 132 of them, and they all open in an ordinary web browser. You install nothing and sign up for nothing.
Who runs it
Veranda Games opened in September 2026. Harsh Mittal runs it through AdrawTech, a studio based in India, and AdrawTech is the developer named on every game page. Nothing on the site is embedded from another games site.
What is here
The games are filed in five sections: Logic Games (49), Word Games (19), Memory Games (7), Card Games (33) and Board Games (24). Many are games people already know, such as Solitaire, Cribbage, Chess and Sudoku, in versions written to fit a phone screen as well as a desktop. Each game page has a description, notes on how to play and some tips.
How a game is built
A game here is a single HTML5 file that holds everything it needs. The rules, the drawing and any computer opponent all sit inside that one file, and it asks no other server for anything: no game engine, no fonts, no images. The largest of them is under 100 KB.
Every game also has a demo mode, in which it plays itself. That demo is the preview you see moving on a tile or behind the Play button, so what you are watching is the game itself and not a recording.
The "Last updated" line on a game page comes from the site's version history. It marks the day that game's file last changed, so publishing the site again does not move it.
What the numbers on a game page mean
A game's play figure rises by one every time its page opens, whether or not anyone presses Play. A reload adds one, and so does a visit from a search engine's crawler or any other bot, because the counter makes no attempt to tell them apart. Read it as page views, not as people. The moving previews do not add to it. The Most played row and the POPULAR badges, which mark about one tile in five, are worked out from this figure.
A rating is built from the two thumb buttons below the game. Within a visit a browser gets one vote per game, and changing your mind moves that vote instead of adding another. You will see a percentage only when a game has 10 or more votes and 60% or more of them are thumbs up. Below either line the page shows no percentage at all, so a game with no rating may simply be new, or it may be one that players have not much liked.
What it costs
Nothing. No game charges for anything, and the site shows no ads yet. If that changes, this page will say so.
No account is needed, because your scores, saved games and favorites stay in your own browser. The privacy policy sets out what the site and its analytics tools do record, and the terms of use cover the rest.
