The games on these pages are free to play and don't involve real money, but any game can take over more of your day than you planned. We want play to stay relaxed and under your control.
- Adults only. You must be 18+ and in the UK to enter.
- Nothing to buy. We never ask for payment.
- Take breaks. Stand up and stretch at least once an hour.
- Set a time limit before you start, and stick to it.
- Don't play when you are tired, upset or in a rush.
