Pick a game. Start with the guide.

The catalog is organised two ways. The shelves group games by the kind of decision they ask for, so action collects games built around an incoming threat, puzzle collects games built around patterns and planning, racing collects games built around a moving line, and casual collects lighter sessions. The new shelf gathers the most recently written guides when you would rather browse by freshness than by type.

A first visit is easiest in one of two ways. If you already know the kind of game you want, open the matching shelf and compare a pair of cards before choosing. If you do not, start on the new shelf, pick whichever cover looks interesting, and read the opening section of that guide. Either route leads to a game page, and active game guides link to the player.

The guides are written to be read once, quickly. The first paragraph states the objective, the next one gives the control that carries the most weight, and the sections after that cover the sticking points that come up most often. Reading the first two before you start is usually enough to make the opening attempt go the way you intended.

ZooGame is a guide site for browser games. The games themselves are not hosted here. What the site provides is a written note for each title in the catalog, and that note is the part worth reading before you play. It explains what the game is asking of you, which input matters most, and what a sensible first step looks like.
