💶 It is all play money — you never need real eurosThe arcade is completely free. Every amount in
the games is play money: bank account, loans, rent, profits — all
of it is part of the game. There is nothing to buy, you
cannot pay anything in, and there is no connection whatsoever
to real money or to a real bank account.
🎮 Just start playing
Try every game right away — no sign-up, no e-mail. You can create an account whenever you like; your progress comes with you.
Without an account your progress lives on this device only and can be lost.
A private collection of games. Only your nickname and saved games
are stored; an email address is optional — it is used only to get your
nickname or password back to you.
If an account is not used for a longer time, it expires in two
steps: after 170 days the bank collects the play money — the account
and its saved games stay. After 180 daysthe account and all saved
games are deleted. You are warned beforehand, and playing once resets
both deadlines. You can sign up again whenever you like.
Eleven games are waiting
Seven tycoon games sharing one current account, four classics for a quick round — and the Duel Corner, where you play against other people. Free browser games, without ads and without real money — on your computer and on your phone.
And they are set in a real place: the railway runs between real stations in the German Rhineland, the haulage firm starts from a yard in Leverkusen, and the farm can run on the actual weather there.
Three games right now: drop your pieces to make a line of four, a card game with a normal deck, and a hunt for hidden ships. You need an account or a guest pass to play with others — both are one tap away. More is being built — chess, further board and card rounds, and quiz and word games for larger groups.
Add to your phone as an app
The arcade then opens full screen, without the browser bar — with its own
icon on your home screen. 📴 As an app you can also keep playing
offline: games you have opened once run without a connection and
your progress syncs automatically. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed
that you cannot remove again with a single swipe.
In Safari, tap Share at the bottom (the square with the arrow).
Choose "Add to Home Screen" from the list — you may need to scroll.
Tap Add at the top right. Done.
On iPhone this only works in Safari.
Chrome, Edge and Firefox are not allowed to add anything to the home
screen on an iPhone — that is Apple's rule, not a problem with the
arcade. Open spiele.apartment-leverkusen.de in Safari
once and the instructions will appear here; it takes 10 seconds.
It works on a computer too:
in Chrome or Edge a small install icon appears at the right of the
address bar.
