Everything you need to know about BentoTiles - for players, developers, and curious minds.
BentoTiles is a curated HTML5 game portal where you can play hundreds of browser-based games instantly - with no downloads, no plugins, and no sign-up required. We organize games in a clean bento-box grid so discovery is fast and visual.
No. Every game on BentoTiles is completely free to play without an account. Simply click any game tile and it loads directly in your browser. No email, no password, no registration forms.
Every game on BentoTiles is 100% free to play. We sustain the platform through non-intrusive advertising. There are no premium tiers, no paywalled levels, and no in-game purchase prompts inserted by BentoTiles.
Yes. All games that pass our review are tested for mobile compatibility. That said, some games are specifically designed for desktop keyboards and mice. We indicate the recommended device type on each game's page so you always know what you're getting into.
Progress saving depends on how each individual game is built. Many HTML5 games use localStorage to save your state in the browser automatically. Your saved data will persist as long as you play in the same browser and don't clear site data. BentoTiles does not control game-level save functionality.
Use the category links in the sidebar or header navigation to browse by genre, such as Action, Puzzle, Sports, Racing, or Multiplayer. You can also use the search bar to find games by name or keyword.
The 'Recently Played' sidebar panel shows the last few games you played on BentoTiles. This list is stored locally in your browser and is not linked to an account, so it stays on your device and resets if you clear browser data.
Please use our contact form or email [email protected] with the name of the game and a description of the problem. We review all reports promptly and will take appropriate action - whether that means fixing the game embed, investigating the content, or removing the title.
Head to the 'Become a Developer' page linked in the footer, create a developer account, and use our submission wizard to upload your game as a ZIP archive or link an external hosted URL. Our team reviews all submissions and typically responds within 5–7 business days.
We accept HTML5 games as ZIP archives. The ZIP must contain an 'index.html' file at the root directory. All paths inside the game should be relative so they resolve correctly inside our Cloudflare R2 storage sandbox. We also accept external hosted URLs for games already deployed on your own server.
After you submit, your game enters a 'Pending' queue. Our moderation team reviews it for technical quality (load time, controls, responsiveness), content appropriateness, and accuracy of metadata. We may move it to a 'Beta' state for wider testing before full approval. You'll receive an email with feedback at every stage.
Games must not contain hate speech, excessive gore, sexually explicit content, gambling mechanics targeting minors, or any material that violates applicable laws. Games with mature themes must be accurately rated. Misleading metadata (title, description, screenshots) that misrepresents the actual game content will result in rejection.
Yes. We offer a lightweight JavaScript SDK that enables your game to communicate lifecycle events (loading complete, game over, score submitted) to the BentoTiles platform. This allows richer analytics and better integration with our UI. SDK documentation is available in our developer docs.
Currently, BentoTiles does not share ad revenue with developers - your games are published for free in exchange for distribution reach. We're actively building a revenue-sharing program and will announce it when ready. Developers benefit from traffic, analytics dashboards, and visibility to a global player base.
If your game is rejected, you'll receive a detailed reason explaining the specific issue. Common reasons include missing index.html, broken paths in the ZIP, content policy violations, or performance problems. You're welcome to fix the issues and resubmit. Rejections are not permanent.
The homepage displays a mix of the newest approved games and the most-played titles. Sorting by 'Home' shows newest first; sorting by 'Most Popular' shows highest-play-count games at the top. Featured placements are editorial decisions made by our team based on quality, novelty, and player engagement data.
No. BentoTiles requires an internet connection to load both the platform and the games. The games themselves are hosted on Cloudflare R2 (or developer-provided servers) and cannot be played offline through our platform.
BentoTiles serves ads through Google AdSense. Ads are clearly labeled as 'Advertisement' and are placed in designated, clearly separated zones on the page - never inside the game grid or in positions that could be confused with navigation or game tiles. We follow all Google Publisher policies.
You can reach us at [email protected] or through the Contact Us page. We respond to all messages within 2 business days. For legal and DMCA matters, please include 'LEGAL' in the subject line to ensure expedited handling.
