About Game - Playground Prefect
You are the prefect on a school playground. About 20 students are on the field, each shown as an animal-style icon. Most stay near the edge; each round, a random group runs around the yard.
To stop a runner, move the prefect until you are touching them, then press Space. They then stop running. If you are not close enough, Space does nothing.
The round ends in success when every runner for that round has been stopped. You then get a short celebration and the next round begins.
Round 1 has 3 runners. Each later round adds one more runner, up to a maximum of 20. A full game has 10 rounds; clear round 10 to win.
Each round has a 60-second timer. If time runs out before all runners are caught, you lose HP and retry the same round. If HP reaches zero, the game ends.
Before you start, pick a mascot icon for your prefect on the title screen. The hint strip under the HP bar shows whether you are still hunting runners; when you touch a runner, "Press Space" appears beside that strip as a reminder.
Controls
- W A S D or Arrow keys - move the prefect.
- Space - when touching a running student, stop them.
- P - pause or resume.
On the canvas, Runners left shows how many students are still running in the current round.
Question - Common Questions
The game will not load, or I only see a blank screen.
Wait a few seconds on a slow connection. If nothing appears, refresh the page once. Try another browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). Turn off strict content blockers for that game tab, and pause VPNs or DNS ad blocking apps that can block game scripts or assets.
The game is stuck on "Loading..." forever.
Large games need time on the first visit. If it never finishes, your network may be blocking the game's host. Try mobile data versus Wi-Fi, disable download accelerators, and clear only the cache for that site if you recently updated the game.
There is no sound, or sound is very quiet.
Many browsers block audio until you interact with the page (tap or click inside the game once). Check system volume and the browser tab is not muted. On phones, make sure the silent switch is off where it applies, and that Bluetooth is not routing audio elsewhere.
The game lags, stutters, or feels slow.
Close heavy tabs and background downloads. Lower the game's quality setting if it has one. On laptops, plug in power so the GPU is not throttled. Very old devices may not meet the game's requirements even in a browser.
Touch or controls do not respond on my phone.
Tap directly on the game canvas, not the page margin. Rotate the device if the game expects landscape. Disable one-handed or floating assistive overlays that steal touches. If the page zoomed in, pinch to reset zoom so the hit area matches the game.
Fullscreen does not work or exits immediately.
Fullscreen must be started by a user gesture (a tap the game requests). Some embedded games cannot use true fullscreen on iOS Safari; use Add to Home Screen or play in landscape for a larger view. Corporate or school profiles sometimes block fullscreen APIs.
My progress or high score was lost.
Many web games save data in local storage in your browser. Clearing site data, using private/incognito mode, or switching browsers resets that data. Different subdomains count as different sites, so progress may not carry over between URLs.
An ad or cookie banner seems to block the game.
Accept or dismiss required consent dialogs so scripts can run. If an ad overlay is mis-aligned, try scrolling slightly or refreshing. For how we use ads and cookies on Homayho, see the Privacy Policy.
I use an ad blocker; the game still misbehaves.
Some games load assets or scripts from the same paths ad blockers target. Try disabling the blocker for homayho.com and the specific game subdomain, then reload. Strict privacy lists can break WebGL or audio on unrelated domains the game depends on.
The browser warns the connection is "Not secure."
Games should be served over HTTPS. If you see HTTP or certificate warnings, do not enter passwords on that page and try the official Homayho link. Mixed content (HTTP inside HTTPS) can be blocked by the browser and look like a broken game.
Which browsers are supported?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari generally work best. Internet Explorer is not supported for modern HTML5 games. Keep the browser updated for WebGL, Web Audio, and security fixes.
Private browsing or clear cookies broke my favorite game.
Private windows discard storage when closed. Safari's Private mode and strict prevent cross-site tracking options can also limit storage. Use a normal window for games you want to keep saves for, and avoid clearing data unless you intend to reset.
The game opened in a new tab; is that normal?
Yes. Games often run on their own page or subdomain so they get the right screen size, permissions, and updates. Your progress and settings apply to that tab's address. Bookmark the game URL if you return often.
Still stuck? If a specific Homayho title keeps failing after these steps, email us with the game name, your device and browser version, and a short description of what you see: garyshek1@gmail.com
About Us
Who we are
Homayho.com is an independent games hub for the web and for mobile apps. We collect approachable HTML5 titles you can play in the browser - no install needed on the site - and app games you can install from the app stores. There is no paywall to browse our online menu.
What you will find here
Quick sessions, puzzles, arcade-style challenges, and experiments from small creators. Games may live on our subdomains or partner pages; either way, the goal is the same: open a tab, tap or click, and play on desktop, tablet, or phone.
How we keep the lights on
Hosting and upkeep have real costs. We show ads and help fund the site. We try to place them so they support Homayho without getting between you and the game.
Privacy and safety
We care about clear expectations. For cookies, analytics, ads, and how third-party games may handle data, read our Privacy Policy. If something looks broken, unsafe, or misleading, please tell us so we can review it.
