Hi there, One thing that I don't think is clear. Do you control the games that are shown - like are they build by you or are these existing web games? I don't see how you can ensure that a game will work offline in the latter case, as the game may load resources depending on where you are in the game.
In the best case you would know the resources per game and actually cache (and potentially later update) using a Service Worker. Service Workers already work in a separate thread and can notify you when all resources are ready. What is missing would be an API to purge a game and its Service Worker fetched resources.
