What if the game will not start?

Refresh the page and press Play again. If it still does not load, make sure the browser is up to date and try another tab.

Can two children take turns?

Yes. There is no account or profile, so passing a tablet back and forth works fine. Most stages are short enough that turns come around quickly.

The guide

Overview

Unleash chaos in Tarcat, a laugh-out-loud adventure where you wield a cat's paw to smash targets with speed and precision. Perfect your taps to evade traps and reign supreme as a master of feline havoc.

What it's like to play

Young children do not need complicated rules to have fun, and the games here know it. Each stage asks for one simple thing: tap this, drag that, find the matching one. The reward is immediate and cheerful. Over a session, which might be five minutes or twenty, a child works through a handful of these small tasks with a parent or on their own.

Why it's worth a go

Tarcat gives a young child a safe, simple thing to do on a screen. It is free, runs in the browser with no download or account, and parents can see the whole game at a glance. The gentle pace suits short attention spans and does not wind anyone up.

Who it's for

Suits children aged roughly three to eight. The youngest will need an adult to start the game and read any prompts; older children will manage alone after a stage or two.
