What parents need to know

Educational value:
The site's Brain Games section contains math and word games.
Violence:
Although some games do involve shooting people and minor blood, games with excessive violence (tons of blood, guts, and body parts flying across the screen) aren't allowed on the site.
Sex:
The site has a few dress-up games that feature women in underwear, but promises its games will show no more exposed skin than you’d see at the beach.
Language:
Users are told not to use bad language in comments or user names.
Consumerism:
The site has some Yahoo text ads.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
Privacy & safety:
You don't have to register to use the site and don't have to provide any personal information. However, once you post a comment, your user name is visible -- and other users can email you using the site's internal email system.
Parents aren't given any specific notification when kids register and also aren't given any special way to monitor their account.
