Small games about where you're from

Home Ground Games makes quick, browser-based strategy games built around real places — a London borough, an Irish county, a nation at a World Cup. You take charge, make a run of decisions, and find out whether your instincts were any good. No installs, no sign-up, and each game is designed to be finished in a single sitting.

They run on judgement rather than reflexes. You build things, weigh events, take the odd gamble, and read between the lines of the reports that come back — then live with the consequences, some of which arrive years later. When you finish, you'll see how your run ranked against everyone else who led the same place.

How a game works

Common questions

Do the games cost anything?
No — every game is free to play. Ads on the page keep it that way.
Do I need an account?
No. Your progress and personal bests are saved on your own device, not to an account.
How long does a game take?
Roughly one sitting — long enough to feel like a proper run, short enough to finish over a coffee.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Everything works in a mobile browser as well as on a desktop.
