What’s It About?

There's no shortage of games at WILDGAMES.COM, and with categories like IQ games, Food, and Kids featuring Dora the Explorer and other favorites, there's plenty of variety, too. The site does feature some light violence -- there's a section of games about blowing stuff up -- but most games involve somewhat cartoonish characters, like aliens and pirates. Games also frequently feature family-friendly goals like finding clues (which are crossed off on a list on the screen as they're discovered) to solve a mystery.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (1 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

Users need one key thing to enjoy WildGames.com: a lot of time. Some games take 10 minutes or more to download. And it's good to note that Mac users are out of luck as the games are .exe files and only work on PCs. Users click "play" and must download each individual game -- slowly -- to their desktop to use them.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
