A game shelf that knows your kid

Game Shelf is a small collection of gentle browser games — and a way to make them yours. Your child opens one bookmarked link and finds games that already know their name, their character, their pace, and the encouragement your family cares about.

Free. No ads, no trackers, nothing to install. Takes about ten minutes.

How it works

1 Tell us about your child
Their first name, a character and look, the tone that fits them, and the growth theme you'd like the games to lean into — kindness, patience, perseverance…
2 Get your private household link
Sign in with just your email — no password. Your family gets a long, random link. Anyone holding it can open the kid shelf, so treat it like a password and do not post or forward it outside your household.
3 Bookmark it. They play.
Your child opens the link and picks a game. No login, no settings, no reading beyond their own name. You can change anything, anytime.

Built for kids, answerable to parents

Made by a dad for his own kids first, and shaped by one rule: the games should feel personal, familiar, and meaningfully supportive — never sticky, never extractive.

No ads, no trackers, no third-party anything on your child's screen.
We keep hosted data small: the parent email, a shelf nickname, child first names or nicknames, selected preferences, and security records needed for sign-in.
Cloudflare hosts the shelf and database; Resend delivers requested sign-in mail.
Deleting your family is one button and immediately removes the active hosted account data. Browser-local game saves and recordings are cleared on each device.
