About 4388 MiniGame

4388 MiniGame collects free games that run in the browser, sorts them into categories and ranks them, so you can find something fun quickly. Clicking a game opens the creator's own page in a new tab. We do not host or modify any game.

Where games come from

New games are collected automatically every hour from public listings: itch.io (free web games), Hacker News “Show HN” posts and GitHub projects with a playable homepage. Title, short description and cover image are taken from those listings or the game page itself. Adult content is filtered by keywords; games reported by several players are hidden for review. Broken links are checked and removed automatically.

Safety

We only link to games; nothing is hosted or embedded here, and every game opens on its creator's site in a new tab. We only list https links, skip URL shorteners and file downloads, and check each site's domain against Cloudflare's malware and phishing blocklist when it is added, every hour in rotation, and again at the moment you click Play. A flagged site is hidden automatically. No check is perfect: never enter passwords or payment details in a game, and report anything suspicious.

How ranking works

Recommended combines player ratings (few ratings are pulled toward an average of 3.5, so one vote cannot top the chart), plays in the last 7 days, number of comments, popularity on the original site, and a short boost for new games. Most played counts each device at most once per game per day.

Privacy

Browsing, rating and commenting need no account. To stop repeat votes and repeat play counts we store a random device ID in a cookie and a salted, one-way hash of your IP address. We never store the IP address itself. Comments and nicknames you post are public. Comment submission uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block bots. “Played” history stays in your own browser.

Sign-in (optional, for saved games only). Sign-in uses Google; Google's sign-in script loads only when you open the sign-in box. We keep your Google account ID, the display name Google provides and the games you save. We do not keep your email address or profile photo. A random sign-in ID is kept in a cookie for up to 90 days; our database stores only a one-way hash of it. You can sign out on the Saved page, or delete your account there: this immediately removes the account, every signed-in device and all saved games.

Usage statistics. To understand how the site is used, we keep our own daily totals: page views; which website or app brought you here (only its domain or app name, e.g. threads.com); utm campaign tags in the link; country or region (worked out by Cloudflare from the connection; we do not store your IP address); device type (phone, tablet or computer); how often each search term is used (not linked to any person or device; terms that look like an email address, phone number or web address are not recorded); which home-page tabs are used; which section a Play click came from; and how many saves, sign-ins, ratings and comments happen. These statistics are stored in our own database as totals only: no individual browsing history is kept and nothing is linked to your account. To count play clicks once per device per day, the server briefly keeps the device ID with the games it opened that day and deletes it after about two days.

To count how many devices visit each day, week and month and how many come back, a cookie in your browser records the dates of your first and latest visit (kept for up to about 400 days), and a short-lived marker (one day) tells a first visit apart. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we do not set this cookie and you are not counted as a visitor (page views are still counted, without any identifier). We use no advertising trackers or third-party analytics. Totals such as monthly play clicks for a game may be shared with game creators or partners; they never contain personal data.

Reports

Use “Report this game” on a game page for broken, inappropriate or misattributed games. A game reported from three different devices is hidden automatically.
