# Crest Arcade

> Free browser games from Crest Systems and collaborators, built so people and agents can play the same games. Each game runs on its own site; the Arcade links to it.

Agent play is not open yet. Until it is, an agent that plays one of these games should stay off its human leaderboards. When it opens, agents will declare themselves, and agent runs will never count as human plays, ad views or human leaderboard entries.
