Free 1 Player Games Online: Solo Puzzles and Arcade

A one-player game is built for you alone, with no waiting for opponents and no pressure from anyone else. The tag is huge, which says something about how many browser games are solo experiences: puzzles like Dop Puzzle Erase Master, sports such as Mini Golf 2D, and quirky choices like Burger Super King Sim, Duck Shooter HD and Bus Jam Sort.

Solo play, your own pace

Without other people, you set the pace. You can pause to think, replay a level five times, or stop after one round. Puzzle, sports, adventure, arcade and casual are the usual companions, and golf shows up often. Some one-player games track your top score, so you can compete with your previous self instead of with strangers. Others include a computer opponent, which still counts as solo.

This tag suits short breaks and quiet evenings alike, and it is easy to find something at any difficulty. Children can try games without chat or strangers, though supervision still makes sense. If you like a title, check the other tags on it, such as puzzle or arcade, and follow them to similar games. Switching between a puzzle and an action game can keep a long session fresh, so do not feel you have to stick to one style.
