Everything you need to know about using Pixlland — playing games, accounts, privacy, ads, devices and working with us.
Playing Games
How do I save or restart my progress?
Most games autosave to your browser storage. To restart, look for an in-game menu option (usually gear icon or Esc menu). Progress is tied to the device + browser unless you are signed in, in which case it syncs across devices.
How do I play Pixlland games?
Just click any tile. The game loads inside your browser — no download, no install. Use keyboard + mouse on desktop, or touch controls on mobile and tablet. Gamepads are auto-detected where supported.
How do I control sound in a game?
Use the speaker icon in the action bar below the game frame to mute or unmute. Some games expose their own volume sliders inside a settings menu.
How do I go fullscreen?
Click the expand icon in the action bar below the game. Some games also respond to F11 or their own in-game fullscreen button. Fullscreen is unavailable on a few titles that scale internally — the button is hidden on those.
How can I report a bug or issue with a game?
Click the flag icon in the action bar, or email us at hello@pixlland.com with the game slug and a short description. Screenshots help a lot.
Why isn't Pixlland loading?
Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R). If that does not help, check your internet connection, disable your ad blocker temporarily, or try a different browser. Our status page is linked in the footer.
Safety & Privacy
Is Pixlland safe for kids?
We curate every game on Pixlland. Our Kids section is extra-filtered, ad-lite and ships no external tracking. Parents can read the full policy in our Privacy Center (linked in the footer).
Can I get a virus from playing on Pixlland?
No. Games run inside a sandboxed browser iframe served from an isolated subdomain. They cannot access your files or install software. We also scan every build before it ships.
How does Pixlland handle privacy and data?
We collect only the minimum needed — an anonymous session id for analytics, and your email only if you sign in. No third-party trackers. Read the Privacy Center for specifics, or email privacy@pixlland.com for data access requests.
Are my favorites shared with anyone?
No. Your favorites live in your browser storage (and your account, if signed in). They are never sold, shared or used for ad targeting.
What cookies does Pixlland use?
We split cookies into Functional (required — session, language), Analytics (opt-in — aggregated usage) and Ads (opt-in — for personalized ads). Manage preferences via the cookie banner any time.
Accounts
Do I need an account to play?
No. Every game runs anonymously — you only need an account if you want your favorites, progress and avatar to sync across devices.
How do I create a Pixlland account?
Click the profile icon in the top-left pill, then pick Google, Apple or Passkey to sign in. It takes under 10 seconds and we never ask for a password.
What are the benefits of a Pixlland account?
Cross-device favorites and recently played, custom avatar, progress that travels with you, and early access to new features like leaderboards and achievements.
How do I delete my Pixlland account?
Email privacy@pixlland.com from the email tied to your account. We honor deletion requests within 30 days and confirm when complete. You can also request a full export of your data at the same time.
Why can't I sign in?
Try clearing cookies for pixlland.com and retry. If you still hit an error, email hello@pixlland.com with the provider you used (Google / Apple / Passkey) and any error message shown.
Apps & Devices
Does Pixlland have a mobile app?
Not yet — the web experience is the primary product and works great on any mobile browser. A native wrapper is on the roadmap for players who want a homescreen icon and offline support.
Can I play Pixlland games offline?
Most games need an active connection to load and, for multiplayer titles, stay connected. Once loaded, many single-player games keep working offline until the tab is closed.
Which devices does Pixlland support?
Any modern browser released in the last 3 years — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Samsung Internet. Works on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. Older browsers may miss WebGL or WebAudio features.
Ads & Experience
Why are there ads on Pixlland?
Ads keep every game free and fund the hosting, curation and developer payouts. They are the only revenue source — no paywalls, no in-game purchases, no paid accounts.
Can I block or skip ads?
Video ads can be skipped after a few seconds. We do not penalize players who use ad blockers — the site still works, but please consider whitelisting us to support the developers.
Why is the ad not loading?
Ad inventory varies by region and device. If an ad slot is empty, we simply skip it — your gameplay is never blocked. Rewarded ads that fail will not grant the reward but will let you continue the game.
How do you pick which ads to show?
Via Google Ad Manager and AdSense for Games, filtered through our content policy. We never show gambling, crypto scams or sexually explicit content. Report any inappropriate ad via hello@pixlland.com.

Pixlland is a worldwide portal for free HTML5 games. Open, play, done. We curate every title, pay developers fairly and refuse to lock gameplay behind logins, subscriptions or downloads.
Are Pixlland games really free?
Yes — 100% free, forever. The only thing we ask in return is that you disable your ad blocker or let us show a single ad between sessions so we can pay the developers.
How many games are available?
Right now, hundreds of curated titles across 24 categories, with new games added every week. We intentionally grow slowly — quality over quantity.
Who runs Pixlland?
