How can we help?
Answers about playing, saving your progress, leaderboards, ads and publishing games.
Playing games
A game will not load or stays black
Refresh the page first. If it still does not start, check your connection, update your browser (the latest Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge) and pause content blockers for YoHU.io, because they can block game files. Still broken? Press the flag button under the game to report it and we will look at it.
How do I play in full screen?
Press the full screen button under the game. On iPhone the game covers the whole browser window instead, because iOS limits full screen for web pages. Adding YoHU.io to your Home Screen gives the most app-like view.
Can I play on my phone or tablet?
Yes, almost every game works with touch. A few games need a keyboard; their page says PC · keyboard under “Works on”.
There is no sound
Browsers only allow sound after your first tap or key press, so tap inside the game once. Also check the game's own sound button and your device's mute switch.
Is everything really free?
Yes. Ads around the games keep YoHU.io free. There are no paywalls or locked levels.
Can I install YoHU.io as an app?
Yes. In Chrome or Edge use Install app in the menu; in Safari on iPhone use Share → Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen like an app.
Saving & your account
Do I need an account?
No. Without one, your favorites, recently played games and best scores are saved on this device automatically. An account keeps them on every device and puts you on the leaderboards.
What happens to my guest progress when I sign up?
When you sign up or log in on the same device, your favorites, ratings, quest progress, play history and scores move into your account automatically.
I forgot my password
Use Forgot password on the log-in page. We email you a link to choose a new password; it works for one hour.
How do I change my email or password?
Open Account settings from the menu under your avatar.
Can I change my username?
No. Usernames stay fixed so your leaderboard history always belongs to you.
How do I delete my account?
In Account settings, scroll to Delete account and confirm with your password. This permanently removes your account, favorites, history, scores and reviews.
Leaderboards, cups & quests
Why am I not on the leaderboard?
Only registered players appear on the boards. Log in before you play; guest scores you set earlier on the same device move to your account when you log in. The weekly board resets every Monday.
How does the weekly cup work?
Each week one YoHU Original is in the spotlight from Monday to Sunday night. Play as often as you like; only your best run counts. See the current cup on the leaderboards.
What are daily quests and XP?
Three small quests appear every day and reset at midnight. You earn XP for each finished quest plus 10 XP for every new game you play. Every 500 XP is a new level, and your streak counts the days in a row you played.
A score on the board looks impossible
Tell us through the contact form with the game and the username. We remove scores that break the rules.
Ads & privacy
Why do I see ads?
Ads pay for the servers and new games. They stay in marked spaces around the game, never inside it, and some games show a short break between rounds at most every few rounds.
How do I change my cookie choice?
Press and the cookie banner opens again. More details are in the cookie policy.
What data do you keep about me?
Only what the site needs to work: your shelf, scores and, with an account, your username and email. Data of guests who stop visiting is deleted after 24 months. The privacy policy has the full list and your rights.
Is the site suitable for children?
Every game is reviewed for a general audience before it goes live. If you see anything inappropriate, report it with the flag button on the game page.
For developers
How do I publish my game?
Send it through the submission form. We test every game on phone and desktop and reply within 7 days.
How do developers earn money?
You get a share of the ad revenue your game's page makes. The revenue share page explains it and has a calculator.
How do I connect scores and ad breaks?
With a few postMessage calls. The Developer SDK guide has a copy-paste bridge.
