Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Indoor-Games.com really a free online games site?

Yes – 100 % free. Every title in our library of free browser puzzle games, online FPS shooting games, soccer simulators and tower-defence classics launches instantly with no paywalls, no trial limits and no credit-card pop-ups.

2. Do I need to download or install anything to play your puzzle, shooting or stickman games?

Not at all. All content is pure HTML5 / WebGL. Hit “Play” and your chosen match-3 gem puzzler, 2-D stickman fighting game or browser FPS like Merc Zone loads right inside Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on laptop, PC, MacBook, Chromebook, Android or iOS.

3. Which devices and screen sizes do you support?

We optimise every title – from Wordle-style word puzzles to Bloons-style tower defence games – for desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile. Responsive layouts, tap-ready buttons and optional game-pad support mean Rocket Soccer Derby feels as good on a phone as on a 27-inch monitor.

4. My game lags while playing a free browser FPS or a tower defence marathon. How can I fix that?

  1. Close background tabs and bandwidth-hungry apps.
  2. Switch to a stronger Wi-Fi or 5 G signal.
  3. Lower graphics in the in-game settings cog (where offered by Venge.io, Shell Shockers or similar titles).

5. Are your online games safe for kids – especially the puzzle and soccer sections?

Absolutely. We curate each free online soccer game (e.g., Penalty Shooters 2, Football Masters), every logic puzzle, and all stickman shooters against PEGI/ESRB guidelines. COPPA/GDPR-K ad filters keep content kid-friendly. See our Information for Parents page for details.

6. How do I save progress in long-form games like Bloons Tower Defence, Idle Breakout or career-mode soccer managers?

Many titles auto-save in your browser’s local storage. Games with cross-device cloud saves show a little cloud icon – sign in with Google or Apple and you can finish your tower defence campaign on mobile after starting on laptop.

7. Can I plug in an Xbox / PS5 controller for your racing and shooting games?

Yes! Bluetooth or USB game-pads work on most PC racing games (Madalin Stunt Cars), 3-D shooters (Mini Royale 2), and some mobile-friendly titles. Pair the controller first, refresh the page, then headshot or drift away.

8. What if I spot an inappropriate ad or a game that isn’t family-safe?

Click the Report flag below the game window or email [email protected] with a screenshot and URL. We review reports within 24 hours and remove anything that violates our safe free online games policy.

9. Why does a browser game sometimes link to an external store or Steam page?

A handful of demos (e.g., Kingdom Rush Origins, Moto X3M Bike Race) offer optional full versions on Steam, Google Play or the App Store. These buttons are clearly labelled “External Link – Parent Approval Suggested.” We never force you off Indoor-Games.com.

10. How often do you add new games to the Trending Games carousel?

Fresh picks hit the site daily at 12:00 UTC – from the latest trending word puzzles to hot battle-royale shooters and new stickman parkour games. Follow @IndoorGames on TikTok, X or YouTube for instant alerts.

11. I’m an indie dev – can I submit a game in the puzzle or tower defence genre?

We love indie talent! Email a short pitch plus a playable link to [email protected]. If your free online puzzle game or tower defence prototype meets our quality and performance checklist, we’ll feature it to thousands of daily players.

12. Is my data private while I play free online sports games like Soccer Skills World Cup or math puzzle games?

We log anonymous analytics only (page views, load times) and serve ads via Google AdSense with family-safe filters. No names, emails or geolocation are stored without consent. Read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
