What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about what to do if kids click on something that launches a barrage of pop-up windows. Do you want kids to ask for your help if this happens, or close the windows? Make sure kids know where to click to close them and know how to distinguish between ads and games. Do kids know how to use the pop-up blocker on their browser?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
While this is not a site you want your daughter visiting unsupervised, there are a few unique games that are fun to play: Roller Coaster Creator lets kids draw their own coaster tracks and Cooking Show lets you slice, dice, and add ingredients to a recipe. But these games are buried deep under pop-ups and banner ads. Worse, there are subtleties in the games that reinforce gender stereotypes that aren't good for girls. For example, emaciated and underdressed characters, battles to win a boy's love, and kissing contests. If your girls like games, there are way better choices.

Not approriate for 13 and under from the few places I've seen on it.
some of the games seem fun and innocent, but then we found them playing a kissing game witht the only purpose to kiss until found by someone hiding in the background. We then found this website that reviewed it and our suspicions were confirmed. It's hard to truely trust any website.

Ignore the OFF FOR "8+" rating, this site is amazing and the best for girls! But Make Sure Your Daughter plays the Clean Stuff.
even 9 year olds can play. look i did see Nothing Wrong! But Iffy for the Boys and On for the girls but 15+ won't care too much for this site.

It;s fun for girls--But extremely gruesome--With some mutilation of some body parts,Uses of the words s--t,f-- t and f--k,Plus explicit aberrant use of XXX (sexual themes)

 
Teens by themselves, tweens supervised, under 10 not at all
There are games that would be fun for kids, however there are some ads showing Zwinky with girls in bra and panties, and still the barely-there underwear (no pornographic images I could see). No profanity from what I can see, however, watch your kids. I have my pop-up blocker on, and it could be the pop-ups with sexual content. And CSM made an oops there, they said "Holy S--t" uncensored. Whoops!

Fun Games, but Steriotypes galore
This website is safe and has lots of fun games me and my child like to play together. You should just tell your kid not to click on the ads and you will be fine. Some games induce violence, so i suggest visiting with your kids. In my six months of visiting this site there is nothing pornographic about it. The only problem I have with this site is gender steriotypes. But the site also has games that arent traditionally "girly" like war games and cooking games, which are gender neuteral.

No way!!!
I would so not recomend it. I went on the website for a reveiw and... there were half naked girls, violence, and unacceptable language. I went on a dress-up game and a girl was holding a gun!!! This is a website I dont recomend for any child under the age of 17
