Tips for Getting the Most Out of Quick Game Breaks

• Stick to one tab. Closing other tabs keeps older laptops and Chromebooks running smoothly, so games stay at a steady frame rate.
• Use the browser's full screen. Press F11 (or the fullscreen button in the game) to hide everything else and get more room to play.
• Let games save your progress. Most titles on Mochi Arcade remember where you were, so you can stop mid-level and come back later.
• Try a new category each week. Browse arcade games, action games, or racing games to find something you would not normally pick.
