About Zapp

Zapp is a place to play free games in your browser and to make your own. Every game here runs right on the page: no downloads, no installs. Our own games sit next to games people made with Zapp's maker, where you describe a game in a sentence and it gets built, playtested and published.

There's also the Zapp app for iPhone: a feed of games to swipe through, play in a tap, and make on the go.
