How does Lester's Arcade work?
Lester's Arcade brings original browser games, a shared jukebox, and wallet-based player profiles into one arcade. Start with Free Mode. Sign in with a wallet when you're ready to play Ranked on the LitVM testnet.
Find your first game →
Walk in. Pick a cabinet.
Every active game has Free Mode. Try a survival run, a quick escape, or a puzzle session. Keyboard, mouse, and touch controls are supported.
Sign in with your wallet.
Choose your wallet and sign one message. Signing in costs nothing and sends no transaction. Each Ranked run then costs 0.102 testnet zkLTC, confirmed once in your wallet.
Put your name on your runs.
Choose a display name and avatar on chain; each change is a small transaction you pay for. Your public profile shows your best scores, verified Ranked runs, and the achievements recorded for your wallet.

03 / Chase your next best
Every run gives you something to beat.
Each game has global Weekly, Monthly, and All-time leaderboards that rank the best verified Ranked score of each wallet. Revisit a run, change your approach, and come back for another try.
Ranked runs are checked by the arcade server and published on the LitVM LiteForge testnet, and each leaderboard row links to its transaction. Weekly boards reset on Monday at 00:00 UTC and monthly boards on the 1st at 00:00 UTC.
Sign in with a wallet to play Ranked and follow your runs on your profile.
Sound on, when you're ready
The jukebox is part of the ritual.
Queue up the Lester's Arcade playlist. Skip tracks, shuffle the mix, and set the volume from the shared music player. The games bring their own rhythm; you choose the soundtrack.
Do I need a wallet to play?
No. Free Mode is always free and needs no wallet. Browse the cabinets, choose a game, and start playing in your browser. You need a wallet only for Ranked.
What does signing in with a wallet do?
You sign one message to prove the wallet is yours. Signing in costs nothing and sends no transaction. Your wallet address is your player identity, so your profile, Ranked runs, and achievements follow you to any device.
Are profiles and leaderboards online?
Yes. Each game has global Weekly, Monthly, and All-time leaderboards that rank the best verified Ranked score of each wallet. Weekly boards reset on Monday at 00:00 UTC and monthly boards on the 1st at 00:00 UTC. Every wallet has a public profile with its best scores, verified runs, and the achievements the arcade server recorded for it. You choose your display name and avatar on chain, with a small transaction you pay for. Names that break the arcade's rules are hidden on its pages by moderation.
Does Ranked cost money or pay prizes?
Ranked costs 0.102 zkLTC per run on the LitVM LiteForge testnet: a 0.1 zkLTC entry, split 85% to the game's developer and 15% to the arcade, plus a 0.002 zkLTC settlement reserve that pays the arcade's relayer to publish your result. Testnet zkLTC has no value, and there are no prizes. Testnet entries are not refunded. Free Mode is always free.
How are Ranked runs checked and published?
When a Ranked run ends, the arcade server checks it. Chikun's Escape and STACKED runs are replayed on the server from their recorded inputs. Hard Money Heroes runs are plausibility-checked against the game's limits; they are not replayed. The arcade's relayer then publishes the result on LitVM, and your results screen links to the transaction. If publishing fails, it retries automatically, and you can retry it from your profile.
Can I play on my phone?
The three active games support on-screen touch controls as well as desktop input. A current browser is required. Performance varies by device; the games include settings for controls, audio, and visual effects.

Level 1 // Into the Forked Frontier
Level 1: The Crypto Wasteland
The relay has gone silent. Beyond it lie broken roads, overgrown settlements and the Liquidator's yard. Your approach changes each run. Follow glowing supplies, find stronger weapons and keep moving as the horde closes in. The run ends when your hero falls. The next screen prepares your hero and the world while you review your insertion point and field tips.
Collect pickups as you move. Walk near machinery to activate it. You can change supported keyboard bindings in Settings.
