Armor Games is a website based in Irvine, California, that hosts free Flash-based browser games across a wide variety of genres, including point-and-click adventure, arcade, puzzle, and MMO games. It was founded in 2004 by Daniel McNeely.[3][6] In addition to sponsoring certain browser games,[7] Armor Games has begun acting as a publisher for other titles. The company has released games for iOS and Android mobile devices and Steam, and others slated to launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Besides games, Armor Games also has online chat, the ability to comment on and discuss the games posted with other players, a wide variety of achievement-based "Quests" to unlock and earn badges for their profile, and a system that allows players to earn stars and merits for participating in the community. Contests are frequently held to win prizes such as free games for Steam, T-shirts, plush toys, and more. Each year a round of voting is held to allow the players to choose the best games in each genre released on the site.
