Raid Waiting Arcade

**Five to twenty minutes between "I'm in" and "pulling".**

You can't leave the client: you'd miss the invite and the voice call. Alt-tabbing to a browser means missing both. Raid Waiting Arcade fills that time inside the game — twenty short games, and every one of them can be dropped mid-move.

Open it with `/arc` or the minimap button.

## Twenty games

Apothecary, Arkanoid, Bubbles, Checkers, Chess, Chests, Construction, Invaders, Jumper, Match Three, Merge, Mines, Pairs, Recipe, Slide, Snake, Solitaire (Klondike, FreeCell, Yukon), Storekeeper, Sudoku, Tetris.

Games are dressed in items and icons from the client itself, so the board looks like a part of the game rather than a browser tab on top of it.

## It stays out of the raid's way

- **Enter combat — the game pauses** and the window hides itself ("Hide in combat" option). It never pops back up on its own.
- **Ready check and group invites pause the game**, the window stays so you see what is going on.
- **Your chat stays yours.** The window never grabs the keyboard: Enter opens chat, Esc closes the arcade. Games only use the arrow keys and Space, only during a round, and the keys can be rebound. Most games are mouse-only.
- **A closed window does nothing.** No background loop, no frames eaten while you are not playing.
- A round is saved on Esc and survives `/reload`.

## Play with a friend

Chess, Checkers, Pairs and Chests (a Go Fish card game) are two-player.

1. Both of you have the addon.
2. One invites, the other clicks "Yes".
3. Play. Ran out of time — finish later.

You need to be in the same zone, layer or instance.

## Commands

- `/arc` — open or close the window (`/arcade` works too)
- `/arc chess` — jump straight into a game: `apothecary arkanoid breaker checkers chess gems gofish invaders jump merge mines pairs recipe slide snake solitaire stack sudoku tetris tower`
