Founders passes are our thank-you to the first players who join Fret Arcade, while there are only a few games and we're still building. They're free while they last.

What you get

• Lifetime access to every Fret Arcade game, including games we haven't made yet.
• Every paid feature, free. Founders get the Gold Cartridge (every game and feature, for good) without ever paying for it.
• A Founder badge and your founder number.

How it works

Claim a pass with your email address. We email you a code to confirm it's really you, and that logs you in: your pass goes on your account, and every game unlocks whenever you're logged in. You don't pay anything.

There is one pass per person and per email address (an address with a +tag counts as the same one), and a limited number of them. Once they're gone, they're gone.

The fine print

• Your pass is personal and can't be sold or transferred.
• We may cancel passes claimed with fake or throwaway email addresses, by bots, or by one person many times over.
• "Lifetime" means for as long as Fret Arcade runs. If we ever have to close, we'll give founders as much notice as we can.
• The games will change and improve over time. Your pass covers whatever the games become, not a particular version.

Your email

We use it to connect your pass to your account, and for the occasional big Fret Arcade announcement, like a new game. We never sell it or share it for marketing. It's stored securely with our database provider, Supabase. To remove it, or to give up your pass, email hello@fretarcade.com. See also our privacy policy.
