iPad

Open the game in Safari and play with touch: tap to walk, tap things to use them, and hold for more options. Use Share, then Add to Home Screen, for a full-screen icon. A keyboard and trackpad work too.

Chromebook

Open it in Chrome. On a Chromebook you can play with a mouse and keyboard: click to walk, right-click for options, use the arrow keys to turn the camera, and press Tab to switch to WASD movement.

Why a browser game

School and work devices often block installs, and tablets fill up fast. A browser game needs no space and no permissions, and your character is saved on the server, so you can pick up where you left off on any device once you’ve added a password.

How to start

  1. Open Play now in your browser.
  2. Pick a name, choose how your character looks, and you’re in Millhaven, the capital, across the market square from the King’s castle.
  3. Talk to the Guide by the fountain for your first task.
  4. To keep your character, add a password in Settings, then Account.
