What is the proper location for games in Cygwin? According to FHS[1],
I've used:

     /usr/games

Chapter 4. The /usr Hierarchy
Purpose

/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable,
read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between
various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any
information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored
elsewhere.
