Kongregate is a web game hosting and game forum website. With over 5 million forum posts and 1 million games, it remains to this day one of the most popular online game websites in the world.

How to download Kongregate Flash games

Follow this guide, but use this on Chrome instead.

Load the game's page, and there should be a SFW file somewhere in there. For example, Crazy Climber's file was at https://chat.kongregate.com/game_files/0000/0001/crazy-climber.swf.

NOTE: The Wayback Archive does NOT archive the Flash games when it archives the page they're located on, so don't rely on the Archive to save those at the moment.

Removal of non-game forums

On July 1st, 2020, Kongregate sent out an announcement, announcing that, among other changes:[1]

Certain non-gaming forums (Off Topic, Serious Discussion, The Arts, and Forum Games) will be removed from the site.

and:

Most other forums will be moved to a read-only state in which administrators can make announcements but players will not be able to post. This will not affect the forums for Animation Throwdown, Bit Heroes and other Kongregate-created games.
