The Arcade Fairy originally rewarded players only for the number of times they played our now discontinued Flash Games. As each year passed, these games were becoming more outdated and unplayable for a growing percentage of the site and before we had made a final decision about replacing these flash games with our new HTML5 Games, we rushed out changes on 31st March 2019 to the way games are counted. The Arcade Fairy started to count all plays of our Free Games and Pay to Play Games but then didn't count our new HTML5 Games released this year, as this counter was to be used for a future Gamer Fairy.

To try and make things slightly less confusing, we have changed the Arcade Fairy to count plays of (almost) all games on the site. This means that every player's counter should have increased today as we added all plays you have made this year of our new HTML5 Games. This is counted per play and not based on Score Points, which is an additional currency earned from playing these games.

There is a separate count for our newer HTML5 games that may still be used for a future Gamer Fairy but not until we find a better way to organise all of the different types of games we have - it's getting very confusing!!

The Arcade Fairy now has new prizes to be won for up to 35,000 plays of all of our different games.

The Games Shop, where you can spend the Score Points currency you also win from playing all of our different games, now has these new items on sale.Remember, having the Arcade Giftbox in your collection means that you earn double score points each game you play.
