About this site

Viviana Arcade is a library of free browser games — 100 titles today, filed under 14 categories, with written descriptions being added title by title.

What we do ourselves

We decide which game belongs on which shelf, we build curated sets around real playing situations (one thumb on a bus, three spare minutes, no countdown clock), and we write every line of every description from scratch in both Thai and English. We do not display the promotional blurb that ships with a game catalogue: it is short, it repeats itself, and it already exists elsewhere on the web.

What we do not do

The games themselves are HTML5 titles built and operated by third parties. We did not develop them, we do not own the rights to the games or their artwork, and we do not control what happens inside a game. When you press play, the game is loaded directly from those providers.

Where we stand on content

The library ranges from gentle match-three puzzles to shooters and horror-themed games. We state the tone of a game plainly in its description and on its category page so you can choose before you press play. We do not attach age ratings, because we hold no verifiable rating data, and we will not display any number we cannot measure ourselves.

What this domain used to be

The address `vivianavl.com` did not start life as a games site. It previously belonged to a restaurant and bar called Vivian in Asheville, North Carolina; the `avl` at the end of the domain is that city's airport code. The restaurant used the address from roughly 2018 until 2026 and then let it go.

The domain has since changed hands and changed subject. It now carries a games site called Viviana Arcade, and the brand name was taken from the domain string itself — `viviana` sits inside `vivianavl` letter for letter. It was not inherited from the previous business and it does not continue it.

To say it as plainly as possible: we have no connection to that restaurant or to its owners. We are not the same business, we did not acquire it, and we are not a continuation of it. Every page of the old restaurant site has been retired with HTTP status 410, which states that the content is permanently gone. None of those old addresses redirect into a game page, because sending someone who was looking for a dinner menu to an arcade would mislead both readers and search engines.

We use none of the previous site's photographs, logo, menus or trading name here. The only thing kept from the domain's past is the sound of the word in it. Everything else on this site was written from scratch, for a games site.
