Made-for-Me Arcade
Free beta · 10 families

A video game where your kid is the star.

Tell us their name, their pets and the things they love. We'll make them their very own game for a tablet or phone, narrated out loud, with no ads and nothing to buy.

Sample game: a girl in a purple climbing helmet climbs a rocky mountain while her orange cat climbs beside her.

How it works

Three steps, no app store.

Every game is built from scratch around one kid. A racer gets a race, a climber gets a climb, a fruit fan gets dancing fruit.

  1. Tell us about your kid

    Their name and how to say it, their age, their pets (photos help), and what they're into right now.

  2. We build their game

    You get a sample of the narrator saying their name and a link to try, usually within a few days.

  3. Add it to your home screen

    It sits on your tablet or phone like any app, with its own icon, and plays offline in the car.

In every game

Made for them, down to the cat's whiskers.

  • Right for their ageSlide a finger to move. Big targets, gentle speed, no losing, no timers.
  • No reading neededTap the "?" and the narrator explains how to play, picture by picture.
  • No ads, no purchasesNothing to buy, no links out, and the game doesn't collect anything from your child.
  • A big finishEvery round ends in a celebration: confetti, a dance party or a rocket launch.

Sample games

Tuned to their age

Every round lasts about a minute, a bit longer for older kids, and every round plays out differently. Here's how that changes as kids grow.

Maya's Big Climb

Maya is 4, loves climbing, wants to be an astronaut and has an orange tabby named Pickles. She taps to climb a treehouse, a snowy mountain or a space tower that ends in a rocket launch. One simple move, a safety rope so nothing can go wrong, and a big finish. (Maya is a made-up example kid.)

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to download anything?

No. The game opens from a link in your browser. On an iPad or iPhone, tap Share, then "Add to Home Screen." On Android, open the browser menu and tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app." Either way it gets its own icon and opens full screen like an app, and after the first play it works offline.

Can it star their favorite TV or game character?

We can't use characters from shows, movies or games, but we can capture the idea. A kid who loves a racing game gets a racing game; a dancing-fruit fan gets dancing fruit, all as our own originals.

What happens to the details I send?

We only use them to make your kid's game. We never ask for last names or photos of children, and we delete the form details and pet photos after your game is done. The game itself doesn't collect anything. See the privacy policy.

Can we change something after we play?

Yes. During the beta, small changes like speed, colors or who they play as are included. Feedback like that is exactly what we're looking for.

How long is a game?

Each round takes about a minute (a little longer for ages 6–9), so it's easy to play again, or to stop when it's time. Every round is laid out differently, and older kids can chase their own best score and unlock new things as they play.

What ages is it for?

About 3 to 9. We tune the controls, speed and challenge to their age. A 3-year-old's game practically plays itself when needed, while older kids get jumps, stars and things to unlock. See the two samples above.

The short version
  • A parent fills in our form. We use the details only to make that child's game.
  • We never ask for a child's last name or photo. Pet photos only.
  • The games have no ads, no tracking, no purchases, and they don't collect anything from your child.
  • We delete the form details and pet photos after your game is delivered, and sooner if you ask.

Who we are

Made-for-Me Arcade makes personalized games for kids. You can reach us at hello@madeformearcade.com.

What we collect, and from whom

We only collect information from parents and legal guardians (18+), through our order form. We don't collect information directly from children, and our games don't ask children for anything.

How we use it

Only to design, build, deliver and update your child's game, and to email you about it. We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Who helps us

A few services handle information on our behalf, only for the purposes above:

The game itself

Your child's game includes their first name, a cartoon version of them, and any pets or people you asked for. It's shared with you through a private, hard-to-guess link that isn't listed in search engines. The game has no ads, analytics, trackers, chat, links out or in-game purchases, and it doesn't send any information anywhere while your child plays. Settings like hair color are saved only on your device.

How long we keep things

We delete the form details and pet photos within 30 days of delivering your game. We keep your email address and the game itself so we can support you and make changes you request. Ask us any time and we'll delete everything, including the hosted game.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you gave us, or to take your child's game down, by emailing hello@madeformearcade.com. We'll respond within a reasonable time.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for meaningful changes, email families who've ordered.
