The problem

Web games are usually one-offs: a single page, no identity, nothing that carries between them. Building a lineup means solving identity, state and multiplayer once — properly — instead of fifteen times.

The approach

PlayBy1st is a platform first and a set of games second. A shared SDK handles accounts, profiles, scores, achievements and party state, so each new title plugs into an arcade that already knows who you are and who you're playing with.

What got built

  • 15 original games — cards, dominoes, pool, hoops, dice, puzzle, poker and party titles, each written from scratch.
  • One account across the arcade — profile, avatar, games played, high scores and achievements follow the player between titles.
  • Real-time parties and lobbies with live presence, so friends can move from game to game together.
  • Instant play — browser-based, zero downloads, keyboard quick-launch, and mobile-friendly controls.

The result

Fifteen games live under one roof, playable in a browser with no install.
