So you’ve got a website, and you want to add a few games to make it more fun or engaging—maybe for your blog, your students, or just because you can.
The good news? You don’t need to be a coding expert to pull it off.
Whether you run a personal blog, a school site, or a niche content hub, adding HTML5 games can give visitors a reason to stick around (and come back). And thanks to how browser games are built today, it’s easier than ever to embed them with just a few clicks.
Here’s a friendly, no-nonsense guide to help you do it.
Option 1: Use iframe Embeds (The Easiest Way)
If you’ve ever embedded a YouTube video, you can embed a game the same way.
Done. You’ve got a game running on your site.
Option 2: Upload the Game Files Yourself
If you’ve downloaded an HTML5 game (with permission to use it), you can host it directly on your site.
This gives you full control—just make sure the game is legal to use and not pulled from some shady source.
Where to Find Legal, Embeddable HTML5 Games
Stick with trusted platforms to avoid copyright headaches. Try:
Always check the game’s usage license before embedding. If it says “Free to use” or provides embed code, you’re probably good.
Tips for Making the Games Fit Your Site
Bonus: Can You Earn from These Games?
If the game allows it, yes. You can:
Just don’t throw ads inside someone else’s game unless the license explicitly says it’s okay.
Final Thought
You don’t have to build your own game from scratch to make your site more interactive. Embedding or hosting HTML5 games is totally doable—even if you don’t know a single line of code.
Pick the right games, make them look good, and your visitors will thank you with their clicks (and maybe a few high scores).
