About TRENDCADE

TRENDCADE is a tiny independent arcade with one rule: when a story takes over the internet, there should be a game about it while people are still talking about it. Every title here is built in days, runs free in your browser, and needs no download, account, or install.

How it works

A headline breaks. We design a small game around the part everyone is actually arguing about — the succession vacuum, the meltdown, the impossible job — and ship it as a self-contained web game. Games are parodies and commentary, built on public reporting, with the fiction clearly labeled as fiction.

The games

NO SUCCESSOR — Interim CEO Simulator: the first drop, built on the week's biggest story — between Nov 8 and Nov 12, 2026, Jensen Huang admitted an affair in an internal letter, a second relationship was reported, and he resigned as president, CEO and director of the world's most valuable chip company, ending 33 years with no successor ever named. You get the corner office, four meters that can each kill you twice, and 33 days to survive.

More titles land here as new stories break. Older games stay playable — the arcade keeps its cabinets.
