The FunOrb logo
FunOrb is a website run by Jagex, dedicated to small, Java-based browser games. It earns money with a "freemium" model: most players play for free, and Jagex earns money by displaying advertising to them, and some pay a monthly subscription for various benefits.

FunOrb was launched on 27 February 2008 in English and German with 18 games, a small number of which were updated versions or sequels of games from the original Jagex website. It was initially aimed at the "time-pressed" gamer market and updated every 14 days. Jagex have since moved towards having less frequent updates and larger, more complex, new games aimed at time-rich players. Brazilian Portuguese and French have been added to the language line-up, and work is ongoing to launch the site in some other European languages.
