486 free games
Arcade, puzzle, action, racing, shooters, cards, classics and more — the catalogue refreshes itself in the app, no update needed.
Accounts & leaderboards
Claim a player name in one tap, score points for every game you play, and climb the all-time and weekly leaderboards.
Multiplayer picks
2-player, .io and multiplayer games get their own rail — grab a mate and play on one screen or against the internet.
Arcade lounge & comments
The same social layer as the website: a live lounge chat with the community and comments on every game.
Built-in support
Hit a problem? Lodge a support ticket from inside the app and track the answer in the same screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DJ Arcade free?
Yes, DJ Arcade is completely free. There are no subscription fees, no in-app purchases, and no ads SDKs tracking you. Download the APK and start playing immediately.
How many games are available?
DJ Arcade offers 486+ free games covering arcade, puzzle, action, racing, shooters, cards, classics and more. The game catalogue is updated automatically via cron on the backend, so new games appear in the app without requiring an app update.
Do I need an account to play games?
No account is required to play single-player games. If you want to track your scores on the leaderboards or participate in the arcade lounge chat, you can claim a player name in one tap — no email or password needed.
Can I play games on the website too?
Yes! You can play free games directly in your browser on any device at dailyjunction.org/arcade. The native app adds a more immersive fullscreen game canvas, a native catalogue shell and faster navigation between games.
What are the leaderboards?
Every time you play a game, you score 1 point (capped at one point per game every 10 minutes). These points are tracked on both the all-time and weekly leaderboards. Claim a player name to appear on the board and compete with other Daily Junction players. The leaderboards are shared between the app and the website.
