Install the app
You can add Ember Games to your home screen, dock or desktop so it opens like an app, full screen and without the browser's address bar. It's still the same free site: nothing extra is downloaded, there's nothing to pay for, and you'll need an internet connection to play.
You're already using Ember Games as an installed app. Nothing more to do.
Your browser can install Ember Games straight away.

- right-click the Ember Games tab and choose Pin Tab so it stays open.
For a proper app window, open this page in Chrome or Edge and follow the steps for that browser.
Another browser
Most browsers can add a site to your home screen or desktop. Open the browser's menu (or its Share button) and look for an option called Install, Add to home screen, Add to Dock or Create shortcut.
If there isn't one, open this page in your device's main browser (Chrome on Android and Chromebooks, Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, Edge or Chrome on Windows) and pick it above.
Good to know
- Your scores and settings stay on your device. On iPhone and iPad, the home screen app keeps its own copy, separate from Safari, so progress you made in the browser won't show up in the app (and the other way round).
- Games update by themselves. There's nothing to download when we add or improve a game.
- To remove the app, delete it like any other: on a phone, press and hold the icon and choose remove or uninstall. On a computer, open the app, click its menu (three dots) and choose Uninstall, or drag it out of the Dock on a Mac.
