PixelDen just added two new free browser games: Solitaire — the classic Klondike card game — and Spirit Snare — a ghost-popping arcade game set in a moonlit graveyard. Both are free, both have leaderboards, and both play instantly in your browser with no download.
Key Takeaways
- Solitaire is full Klondike with two modes — draw 1 for a relaxed game, draw 3 for the classic challenge — plus tap-to-auto-move, unlimited undo, a hint button, and a one-tap auto-finish when the board is won.
- Spirit Snare is a Pang-style arcade game: fire a spectral chain straight up to split bouncing spirit orbs across 10 moonlit-graveyard levels.
- In Spirit Snare, smaller orbs are worth more — and popping the same size back-to-back multiplies your score ×2, ×4, then ×8.
- Both games are free, browser-based, and mobile-friendly, playable in English, Spanish, and German, with a leaderboard on each.
Solitaire — Classic Klondike, Played Your Way
Genre: Card · Best for: unwinding, daily high-score runs
This is the patience game everyone already knows, dealt fresh onto green felt: seven columns on the table, a draw pile, and four empty foundations waiting for the aces. Stack the board in descending order with alternating colors — a red queen on a black king, a black jack on a red queen — uncover the face-down cards, and send each suit home from ace to king. Clear all four foundations and the game is yours.
What makes our Solitaire worth a daily visit is how smooth it feels. Tap any card and it flies to the best legal spot on its own; drag it instead when you want to place it exactly. Stuck? The hint button highlights your best move for free. Made a mistake? Undo is unlimited, so you can always back up and try another line before you deal again. And once every card is face-up, a single tap on AUTO finishes the game with a satisfying cascade.
You also choose your difficulty. Draw 1 flips one card at a time — the relaxed, beginner-friendly standard. Draw 3 flips three at once but only lets you play the top one, the harder classic from the original desktop game. Your choice is remembered between sessions, and a time bonus rewards fast, clean wins — so on the leaderboard it's not just about winning, it's about winning in style.
Spirit Snare — Pop Ghosts in a Moonlit Graveyard
Genre: Arcade · Best for: quick reflexes, combo chasing
You're a lantern-carrying ghost hunter trapped in a moonlit graveyard, and the only way out is up. Glowing spirit orbs drift overhead in long, looping arcs, and your weapon is a spectral chain you fire straight into the night. Every hit splits an orb cleanly in two — and you keep splitting until the smallest wisps pop out of existence and the graveyard falls quiet.
The catch is that a big orb never just disappears. Pop the largest will-o'-wisp and it bursts into two mid-sized ghosts; pop those and you get four small ones; and the small ones move fastest of all. A calm screen suddenly becomes a storm of bouncing light while you dodge arcs and line up the next shot.
Chain the same size for a bigger score
Here's the skill that separates a good run from a great one: smaller orbs are worth far more points, and popping several of the same size back-to-back builds a combo that multiplies your score ×2, then ×4, then ×8. Switch sizes and the chain resets — so the real art is herding a tier of orbs together and popping them in a row. Burst orbs sometimes drop powerups too: a twin-chain shot, a protective shield, a four-second freeze that stops every spirit dead, and the rare extra life.
Ten hand-tuned levels carry you from a single lazy orb to a finale crowded with platforms, a ticking timer, and a whole graveyard of spirits at once. Lives let you recover from a bad bounce, and your best run is saved so you always have a number to beat. Cleanse the graveyard, chase a perfect chain, and climb the leaderboard.
Two Genres, One Click Away
These two could not be more different — one is a slow, thoughtful card game, the other is a frantic test of aim and timing — but they share what every PixelDen game has in common. They're free browser games that load instantly, with no download and no account needed to start playing. Sign in only when you want your wins to count on the global leaderboard.
Both run beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops, and both are fully playable in English, Spanish, and German. If you like Solitaire, the card shelf also has Mau-Mau and the blackjack roguelite Dead Man's Hand. If Spirit Snare hooks you, try the harpoon-fishing score-attack Golden Hook next. You can find everything in the full games catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Solitaire and Spirit Snare free to play?
Yes — both are completely free, with no download and no payment. Open the page and the game is ready. You only need to sign in if you want your scores to appear on the leaderboard.
How do I play Solitaire online?
Build the four foundations from ace to king in a single suit. Stack cards on the table in descending order with alternating colors, move only kings into empty columns, and draw from the stock one card (or three) per tap. Tap a card to auto-move it to its best spot, or drag it to place it exactly — and use undo freely while you learn.
What is Spirit Snare?
Spirit Snare is a free ghost-popping arcade game in the style of the classic Pang. You fire a chain straight up at bouncing spirit orbs; every hit splits an orb into two smaller ones until the tiniest pop for good. Clear all the orbs on each of the 10 levels to cleanse the graveyard.
What's the difference between draw 1 and draw 3 in Solitaire?
With draw 1 you flip one card from the stock per tap and can play every card you see — the relaxed, casual mode. With draw 3 (classic Klondike) you flip three at a time but only the top one is playable, so you reach fewer cards per pass. You can switch modes in the menu and your choice is saved.
Can I play these games on my phone?
Absolutely. Both Solitaire and Spirit Snare work directly in your mobile browser — no app to install — and play well on any modern phone, tablet, or computer.
Do my scores save to a leaderboard?
Yes. Sign in and your best results land on the global leaderboard for each game. In Solitaire, faster clean wins earn a bigger time bonus; in Spirit Snare, longer same-size chains push your score higher.
