Rootbox Games · the games division of Rootbox
3D games for the browser, made to last: open a link and play right away, on phone or computer. Nothing to download, nothing to install.

Every game gets its number, in release order, and keeps growing after launch. They all open with a link.
Found a holding company, open businesses in ten cities around the world and use the profits to buy a third-division football club. Then take it to the top, one week at a time.
Cross roads, rivers and railways hopping from tile to tile. The further you get, the more points you score. The path is generated forever, so no two runs are the same.
Skeletons versus adventurers across three lanes. Jump the low barrier, duck under the bar, switch lanes in front of blocks. Coins, magnet and shield along the way, and worlds to unlock with stars.
The next game is already on the bench. We are not saying what it is yet: for now it has a number and not much else.

They apply to every game that leaves this place.
No stores, no installs: open the page and the game starts. Updates arrive on their own.
Taps and swipes on the phone, keyboard on the computer and, where it fits, a gamepad. Same game, same address.
You get how to play straight away, then discover how much is underneath: in Empire, a holding to grow across ten cities and a club to take to the top, season after season.
Daily challenges have leaderboards checked on the server: a score only counts if the run was actually played.
Anonymous statistics and no more data than the game needs. If ads or purchases ever arrive, we will say so clearly.
Every game starts from the same battle-tested 3D kit: the time we don’t spend rebuilding the foundations goes into rules, balance and detail.
Level map
Five levels, always the same route. None gets skipped, and the last one is never the end.
Level map 1-1
A rule you can explain in one sentence. If it needs a paragraph, back to the table.
Level map 1-2
A playable version straight away, on phone and computer, on the same engine as the other games.
Level map 1-3
Real runs and real numbers: where people lose, where they get bored, where they hit “Retry”. Fix, replay, repeat until it works.
Level map 1-4
The game lands on rootbox.games with its own address. And from there it keeps growing: updates, worlds, seasons.
Level map 2-1 · Next
Back to the first level, with an engine that has learned something new.

Jump with Space, ↑ or a tap on the screen. P pauses.
For brands
We also make branded games and gamification for companies: the same engine and the same care as our own games, built around your audience and your goals.
A game with your colours, your characters and your products, opened from a link: in a campaign, on a website, from a QR code.
Challenges, points, leaderboards and rewards to engage customers, users or colleagues, with scores verified on the server.
A game for your booth or event, on the phone of whoever walks by, with the day’s leaderboard on the big screen.
Questions
No. The games run in the browser: open the link and play, on phone, tablet or computer. If you like, you can add them to your Home screen like an app.
It depends on the game. Rana and Bone Rush are played in runs of a few minutes, with daily challenges, records and worlds to unlock. Empire is a management game to play for weeks: a holding to grow across ten cities and a club to take to the top, season after season.
Today they are free to play. If a game ever has ads or optional purchases, we will say so clearly on its page.
An up-to-date one: Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. The games use the browser’s 3D graphics (WebGL); on very old devices they may run slower.
In your browser. In daily challenges your score goes to our server, which checks the run before putting it on the leaderboard.
