Playground is a curated directory of 700+ independent browser games built with AI, gathered in one place for discovery and play. Listings display a cover, creator credit and a link that opens the creator’s playable build in a new tab; many games run directly in the browser while some require local setup. Games can be filtered by genre, device compatibility, controller support and by AI model (examples listed include GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5.5), and a “three at random” button surfaces fresh picks. Play counts are tracked by outbound clicks (one per browser per game per day), and users can rate games with star reviews that publish immediately; cookies limit repeat counts and remember ratings. A visible example highlights a web-swinging project that needs local setup and shares source code.
Creators can submit games for free through a structured form requesting play links, a cover image, model details, device compatibility and optional build logs; submissions are reviewed manually before publication. Listings link back to source evidence and model attributions follow creator claims. The collection is maintained by Rich Leigh, who accepts tips and messages; moderation tools, a review queue, private contact storage and Cloudflare Web Analytics (no tracking cookies) support site operations and privacy.
