How we keep it safe

Four layers between your kid and the rest of the internet.

Moderation isn't a checkbox here — it's a 27-person operation running every day across two studios. Here's exactly what stands between a curious 7-year-old and the wider web.

  1. 01

    Human-reviewed before launch

    Only 1 in 12 submitted games makes it to the homepage. Our full-time curators in Lisbon and Bucharest play-test every title for age-appropriateness, violence, and ad safety before it goes live.

    kidSAFE+ Seal certified since 2017

    Independently audited under the kidSAFE+ Seal Program — including COPPA and GDPR-K compliance — every single year for the past eight years running.

    Independently audited
  3. 03

    Zero data collected from under-13s

    No accounts, no emails, no behavioural profiles. Kids play in a fresh browser session and leave no trace. We don't ask for a name, a birthdate, or a school — ever.

    Ad policy built for kids

    Every ad unit is hand-tagged kid-safe. No gambling, no alcohol, no retargeting, no interstitial takeovers — and a one-click "Report this ad" link on every placement.

For teachers

A 5-minute classroom playbook.

Three patterns teachers use most often — copy-paste the framing straight into your lesson plan. No logins to set up, no software to install, just a browser tab.

  1. 1

    The 4-minute brain break

    Use between math and literacy rotations. Open the Puzzle category, pick one tile, set a visible timer. Kids reset attention without leaving the room.

  2. 2

    Reward-time station

    Finish early? Pick from the Sports or Arcade categories as a 10-minute earned-play station. No leaderboards, no chat, no sore losers.

  3. 3

    Skill-building warm-up

    Pull from the Word, Memory, or Logic categories for the first 10 minutes of class — pattern recognition and vocabulary drills dressed up as games.

Works on Chromebooks, iPads, and shared school desktops — page load averages 1.4 seconds (GTmetrix Q1 2024).

Questions, answered

The five things parents and teachers actually ask us.

If your question isn't here, email [email protected] — a real person replies within one working day.

Will my kid see ads?

Yes — ads are how we keep the library free — but every placement is hand-tagged for kid-safety under kidSAFE+ guidelines. No gambling, no alcohol, no retargeting, and a one-click "Report this ad" link sits next to every unit. To browse without ads while still supporting us, ask your school about our classroom partner programme.

Do you collect any data on children under 13?

No. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no email capture, and no behavioural profiles. A child opens the site, plays a game, and closes the tab — that's the entire footprint. We don't know who they are, and we don't try to find out. COPPA, GDPR-K, and kidSAFE+ audits confirm this every year.

Can I supervise what they're playing?

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Every game tile shows its category, an age-recommendation chip, and a star rating out of 5. You can browse the full 4,800-game library yourself at /games/ before handing over the device, or pick a specific category like Puzzle or Memory for a guided session.

Does it work on the school's Chromebooks?

Yes. Friv Games runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox — with no plugins and no installs. Average page load is 1.4 seconds (independently measured by GTmetrix, Q1 2024), and we've held 99.7% uptime over the last 24 months. It works on shared Windows, Mac, iPad, and Chromebook devices out of the box.

How do I report a game that doesn't belong?

Every game page has a small "Report this game" link in the corner. Reports go straight to our moderation queue in Lisbon and are typically reviewed within four hours. You can also email [email protected] for anything sensitive — a human replies within one working day.
