Overview
Play 38,000+ free browser games from Chrome's side panel, in a floating window over any page you're on. No sign-up. Alt+J to open.
Play free browser games without leaving your tab. Sidecade puts a 38,000+ title arcade in Chrome's side panel, a sidebar you can open on any site: pick something and it opens in a floating, picture-in-picture-style window right over the page you're on. No new tabs, no downloads, no account. Puzzle and word games, solitaire, mahjong, sudoku, chess, 2048, snake, bubble shooters, match-3, racing, sports and more, all free to play. WHAT YOU GET • 38,000+ free titles across 20+ categories, with search by name • A Game of the day and the newest arrivals on the Home tab • A floating mini window you can drag, resize and stack. Play two at once if you like. • Alt+J opens Sidecade; Alt+W instantly closes every floating window in the current tab • On pages Chrome doesn't let extensions draw on (like Chrome's settings or the Web Store), it opens in a small popup window instead. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pin Sidecade to your toolbar (puzzle-piece icon, then the pin). 2. Click the Sidecade icon or press Alt+J. The arcade opens in the side panel. 3. Pick anything and press Play. It opens over the page you're on. 4. Press Alt+W to close them all. Change either shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. OPTIONAL: SIDECADE TAB ON EVERY PAGE Turn on "Show Sidecade tab on every page" in Sidecade's settings (the gear icon) for a small tab on the edge of each page that opens the arcade in one click. It's off by default. PRIVACY • No account needed. Sidecade's site access is used only to open its floating windows over the page you're on; it doesn't read or collect your browsing or page content. • Free to play, supported by ads inside the games. Privacy policy: https://sidecade.com/privacy NEW IN 1.9 • The arcade now lives in Chrome's side panel • Alt+W now closes the floating windows (it no longer redirects the tab) • The on-page Sidecade tab now opens the side panel, and is off by default Questions or ideas?
