Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 10–13

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
  • User-created content:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    A focus on fighting and killing in some of the games could send the wrong message to youngsters.
  • Violence:

    A few of the games depict cartoon-style violence (dismemberment and splattering blood), and some have the player take on the role of assassin. Also, the site displays links and portals to other sites where you have to be 18 or older to play the games because they contain graphic violence.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    There's a link to an online store, where you can purchase T-shirts with the site's logo. Also, a rotating banner at the top of the home page occasionally hawks products or services, and a banner (often advertising other game sites) appears below the game you're playing.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

How safe is it?

  • Personal privacy:

    Not an issue.
  • Online interaction:

    Not an issue.
  • Parental controls:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About CrazyMonkeyGames

Parents need to know that although there are games on this site that are completely appropriate for younger kids, most of them are best for older tweens and teens, as several feature various types of combat and cartoon-style violence (dismemberment, splattering blood). There's no categorization of the games by age and no guide for age-appropriateness. Also, the site displays links and portals to other sites where you have to be 18 or older to play the games because they contain graphic violence. Parents should also be aware that the more entertaining games -- not surprisingly -- can be quite addicting, so you may want to monitor the amount of time your child spends on the site.

    I rate this title on for age 10 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    little innapropriate but fun if used correctly

    I think crazy monkey games has some games that r violent some that has innapropriate language but if u can be mature and steer away from that it is a pretty fun sight

  2. I rate this title on for age 10 and give it 3.0

    Not a lot to say here. They have some alright games, but the best is Pandemic 2. I don't like the Bingo Cafe link that looks dodgey.
