How We Pick and Describe Games

Updated 2026-11-12

Editorial policy

IO Games HQ lists free browser .io games: snake and worm games, hole and eat-to-grow games, battle and shooter arenas, and obby and survival games. The site launched in November 2026 and is in English.

How games are selected. Our editors choose each game by hand. A game must run in the provider’s browser player, fit the .io niche, and contain no adult or gambling content. Every game on the site passed this check before its page went live.

Where the games come from. The games are made by independent developers and distributed by GameDistribution and Y8, two game platforms. Each game runs in the provider’s player inside an iframe on our page, and the game only loads after the visitor presses Play. Before Play, no third-party game or ad request is made. Ads can appear inside the player; those ads come from the game provider, not from us.

How the page texts are written. Each game page text is written from the developer’s own description and controls list. AI writing tools help draft it, and every text passes our editorial checks before it goes live. We do not invent features, ratings or player numbers. We do not show star ratings or play counts because we do not collect votes.

Corrections. If a game page is wrong, tell us through the contact page. There is no public email address yet; it is being set up and will be published on the contact page. Until then the contact page explains what to include in a broken game report, correction or copyright request. A rights holder can ask us to remove a game page, and we remove it after checking the request.

Terms. Games are provided as is. We do not guarantee that a third-party game stays available. The site is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data.
