SHAX Games approached us with a vision to create a fully standalone, offline-first gaming platform that combines entertainment with purpose—connecting players to SHAX Charity's mission of supporting families facing poverty and homelessness in Dumfries & Galloway. The challenge was to build a platform featuring 13 diverse games—from action games like SHAX Delivery and SHAX Road Race to strategy games like SHAX Chess and SHAX Tower Defence—that works completely offline with all data stored locally, while maintaining fast load times, smooth performance, and an engaging user experience that appeals to players of all ages.

We developed a fully client-side gaming platform with user profiles, XP systems, achievements, and leaderboards—all stored locally in the browser. Players earn XP, unlock achievements, and climb leaderboards while learning about SHAX's impact through integrated game content, with all progress saved directly to local storage. The platform requires no API calls, works entirely offline, and features responsive layouts that work beautifully across devices, from desktop gaming setups to mobile phones. We implemented audio controls for background music and sound effects, along with smooth animations and interactive elements that enhance the user experience without compromising performance.

The result is a dynamic, fully standalone gaming platform that successfully engages players while raising awareness of SHAX Charity's vital work. With 13 diverse games including action, strategy, puzzle, and creative games (like SHAX Drawing Board and SHAX Coloring Book), complete offline functionality, and all user data stored locally, SHAX Games provides an exceptional gaming experience that matches the excitement of their game offerings while connecting players to a meaningful charitable purpose—all without requiring an internet connection or server infrastructure.
