Aurora Hunt

Arcade

Guide a glowing marker through shifting aurora ribbons and sweep up star clusters worth 15 to 35 points. Staying inside the light keeps your score climbing every frame.

Desert Quest

Reflex

Scarabs, urns and amulets pop up across the dunes for about a second. Tap them for 8 to 18 points each, but leave the sandstorms alone: every one costs 45.

Acorn Stash

Puzzle / Reflex

Acorns, mushrooms and pine cones fall in three sizes. Tap only the size the forest is calling for, watch for the call to change, and make your 15 acorns last.

Stay in the light

In Aurora Hunt every moment inside a ribbon adds points, so a steady path through the aurora beats chasing every star. Pick a slow ribbon near the clusters and ride it.

Check before you tap

In Desert Quest and Acorn Stash one careless tap costs more than a missed item. Look at the icon or the requested size first — misses are free, mistakes are not.

What Aurora Arcade is

Aurora Arcade is a small collection of original browser games built for short sessions: a coffee break, a bus stop, a minute between meetings. Each game fits on one screen, explains itself in a sentence and finishes in about a minute, so you can play a round and get on with your day.

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your best score is saved on your own device, nothing is sent to a server, and there is nothing to buy or unlock. Read more about the project.
