I've tried searching everywhere for this and I can't find anything that actually answers the question in detail.

Usually the place to look is the source.
Where are you getting this game; isn't there any documentation? There should be a couple packs of files to download along with a readme.txt.
If not, do some web searches using the game's title.

I can download the .zip of the game but it only contains .pak files? No clue what to do with those. I also tried adding an html5 game that had all the files (javascripts, .htmls, etc) but when I tried to play the game, the buttons and controls and everything were just displaying as text with no functionality.

Please do not post download links.
Go to itch.io, find the game's documentation. Contact the developer if need be.
That's what I meant by going to the source. That's where your answers are.

I'm missing something. If the game belongs to you (that is, it's your copyright), why do you need to download it from an outside source? And if it doesn't belong to you, why are you putting it on your website? If it's clearly identified as public domain, surely the documentation tells you what to do.

Don't know much about .pak files other than they're pretty common with games, but at any rate, check out this site and get something that will open them. Or google for a program to open a .pak file yourself. [fileinfo.com ] ~good luck

Lucy24, it's not my game. It's a freely available game that anyone can download and add to their website. The creator offers it for free. I've never added an html5 game to a website so I'm a noob at this and simply don't know what to do.
Sorry about posting links. Wasn't aware we weren't allowed to post them.

Thank you TypoManiac, I'll look into that and see if I can get it working. Appreciate the help.

One thing to do when applying something to your site from somewhere else...
Look at the code of the application. Find the references to the peripheral files (CSS, JavaScript, Images, etc.) Edit that code to point to where *you* are calling those files.
Example: the app code may have a link: /scripts/game.js
You may put all your JS in a folder named /j-scripts/
So change the code in the app to: /j-scripts/game.js

Aside: pak files are the equivalent of zip.
