WHY AREN'T THERE ANY RATINGS LISTED FOR THE GAMES?

We don’t assign difficulty ratings to our games because everyone’s experience is different, and there are simply too many factors that can affect how challenging a game feels for a particular group. Rather than giving you a rating that may not accurately reflect your experience, we prefer to let you choose based on what sounds most interesting to you. All of our games are designed to offer challenges, but don’t worry, you’ll never be left stuck! We provide unlimited hints, and you can get as much help as you need or want throughout the game. Our goal is for everyone to have a great experience, so pick the game that sounds like the most fun to you. We’ll be there to help you along the way!
