About the template
About Arcade
Arcade is the only template in the gallery that is dark in both modes. Orbitron headings, neon purple and cyan on a near-black background, and a hero with room for a tip, like asking players for their ID, match the energy of a game community.
Articles bring the community in, with comments (held for your approval by default), share buttons, a rating and “More like this” suggestions, and the sidebar keeps a “Recently played” list of what each player has read. The header comes with links for guides, troubleshooting and your community.
Best for
- Games, esports and gaming communities
- Player support for accounts, purchases and bugs
- Brands with a dark, high-energy look

Make it yours
Start from Arcade’s settings. Change any of them.
These are the settings Arcade ships with. Each one is a control in the visual editor, and changing it restyles every page at once. Add your logo, use your own fonts, and add custom CSS when you want full control.

Is the Arcade template free?
Arcade is included in every HelpCenter.io plan at no extra cost, like every template, and you can try it free for 14 days with no credit card needed.
Can I change Arcade’s colours and fonts?
Yes. Arcade starts with Orbitron and Exo 2 and #a855f7 as its primary colour. Both are settings in the visual editor, along with your logo, the rest of the palette, the corner radius and the spacing, and changing one restyles every page.
Does Arcade have a dark mode?
Yes. Arcade is dark in both modes: even its standard palette is dark, so every visitor gets a dark help center. You can edit the dark palette separately from the light one, and add a logo made for dark backgrounds.
Can I switch from Arcade to another template later?
Yes, whenever you like, from the theme gallery in the editor. You compare the new template with your current design and choose which parts of it to apply. Your articles and categories are never touched, and nothing changes for visitors until you publish.
Does Arcade work on phones?
Yes. Arcade is built to reflow on screens as narrow as 320px, and the editor previews desktop, tablet and mobile sizes before you publish. The phone screenshot on this page shows its home page 390 pixels wide.
