Persian Games Online
Five games, free, in the browser — no App Store, no signup, and no install. Hokm Royale is the centrepiece: a full four-player Iranian trick-taking card game against AI partners. Alongside it are four familiar classics: Neon Blocks, 2048, Minesweeper and Four in a Row.
Everything runs client-side, so once a game has loaded it keeps working even on a weak connection — useful on a commute or a patchy mobile signal. Your Persian radio station keeps playing in the background while you play, which is the reason the games live here at all: they are something to do while the radio is on, not a replacement for it.
All five work with touch on phones and tablets, and with keyboard on desktop. Games Hub also has a touch-size setting, so if the controls feel small on your device you can scale them up rather than fighting them.
Hokm Royale — the Iranian card game
Hokm (حکم) is the card game most Iranian families actually play. It is a four-player, two-partnership trick-taking game where one player becomes the hakem (ruler), sees their first cards, and names the trump suit. Teams race to seven tricks, and the first partnership to seven games wins the rubber.
Hokm Royale plays a full game against three AI opponents, with your partner sitting opposite as usual. There is no lobby to wait in and nobody to match with — you press play and the hand is dealt. For anyone who grew up with hokm but has nobody to play it with abroad, that is the whole point.
The classics
Neon Blocks, 2048, Minesweeper and Four in a Row round out the set. They load in well under a second, they work one-handed on a phone, and none of them require reading any Persian or English to understand — which makes them the easiest thing to hand a child while the news is on.
Playing while the radio is on
Audio keeps streaming while a game is open. Opening a game does not stop your station, and closing it does not restart it. On mobile you can lock the screen mid-game and the radio continues, because playback is owned by the page rather than the game.
If a game feels sluggish on an older phone, the particle and background animations pause automatically while a game is running so the game gets the frame budget instead.
