For parents
Made for kids, built for peace of mind
Hoops & Hues is a small family of basketball-themed browser games for kids aged 4 and up, built around hand-drawn player characters. Everything runs right in the browser: there is nothing to install, no account to create, and nothing to pay to play.
Progress and artwork stay on your own device. A game never asks for an email or a real name — the most it ever wants is an optional nickname for the leaderboard. Analytics are minimal and consent-based, and we never build profiles of children.
The project is funded by our printable coloring book on Etsy — that one link is how everything else stays free.

Yes — every game is completely free to play, with nothing locked behind payments. The project is supported by our printable basketball coloring book on Etsy.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. Every game runs right in the browser — no downloads, no app store, no sign-ups, no passwords.
Which devices do the games work on?
Any modern browser on desktops, tablets and phones. The games are designed touch-first, and the play area always fits the screen without scrolling.
Do you collect my child’s personal data?
No accounts exist and no game ever asks for an email. Progress and artwork are saved on your own device; leaderboards store only a nickname your child chooses and the score. Analytics are minimal and consent-based.
What ages are the games for?
Roughly ages 4–10. Every game has difficulty divisions — from relaxed Rookie rounds to genuinely tricky All-Star challenges — and the coloring game has no time pressure at all.
Can we play offline?
You need an internet connection to open a game. Progress saves on your device, so a dropped connection won’t lose your child’s work.
When is the next game coming?
New games join the roster regularly — there’s always one warming up in the locker room. Join the newsletter above and you’ll hear the buzzer first.
Who makes the games and the art?
Every player character is hand-illustrated by Tom Miller (TomMillerART), the artist behind the Hoops & Hues coloring book — the games are built around his artwork.
About
Made with love by TomMillerART
Hoops & Hues started as a hand-illustrated basketball coloring book and grew into a family of free browser games. Every player character is drawn by Tom Miller — and there's always a new game in the works.
The lineup speaks English, Spanish and French, plays as happily on a tablet as on a classroom desktop, and sticks to one simple idea: screen time that feels like crayons and a driveway hoop — creative, playful and kind to young players.
