phpBB is software that you have to download and install onto your server or web host. That being said there are a lot of hosts that will take care of that for you for a fee. Just search for "phpBB hosting" or something like that. However, you will be responsible for maintaining the software.
Alternatively, you can use a free forum host like ActiveBoard.com. It works very much the same way as phpBB but ActiveBoard.com hosts the forum for you for free.

To create an online forum from scratch, first choose a platform or content management system (CMS) that supports forum functionality, such as WordPress with a forum plugin or specialized software like phpBB or Discourse.

To determine what forum software a specific forum runs, you can typically check the page source or footer for any mentions of the software, or use tools like BuiltWith or Wappalyzer, which can analyze the site. Common forum software includes phpBB, vBulletin, and Discourse, among others. If the forum has a specific branding or logo, that can also indicate the software used.
Different web forums usually utilize different "out of the box" software. Common scripts are phpBB, vBulletin, and iBulletin. So first you need to find out the brand of forums you're running and then determine if it is modular. Many forums allow for plugins or modules which are third party scripts which can be integrated into your forum. You can usually find a list of plugins or modules on the forum development site, such as on phpBB.com. An easy way to find the scripts you're looking for is to type "Flash Arcade" with your forum's brand name. For instance, I just googled phpBB Flash Arcade and returned this script which could easily be integrated into phpBB's forums: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=543835&start=0
