What parents need to know

Parents need to know that the privacy policy link is light gray against a sky blue background, so it's difficult to find. It should be clearly visible and accessible from the game gallery window as well as the home page, and it's not. Kids are asked for their names and addresses if they want to enter the coloring contest, and are asked for their email when they send an e-card to a friend. Kids should be reminded that when they send e-cards, they are giving up their friend's privacy too.

Is it any good?
 
The games are fun for youngsters, but it's impossible to ignore the many Chuck E. Cheese promos. Note that if you have pop-up blocking software installed, you can (and will probably have to) click on a special link on the home page to go to the pop-up–free version of the site.
