Submit Your Kids Game to Be Featured on the Blog

Built a game or app for children that is genuinely safe, calm, and free of advertising? Send it over. Good ones are hard for parents to find, and this blog exists to help them find them.

Get in touch

Email me directly and tell me about your game:

[email protected]

That address works for anything related to this site: game and app submissions, corrections to an article, guest post pitches, or a question from a parent. Clicking the link above opens a pre-filled email with the details worth including.

Not a developer? Parents, teachers, and therapists are just as welcome to write in. If you have found a genuinely good ad-free game for kids, or you think one of our guides gets something wrong, the same address reaches me.

What to include in your email

The more of this you cover, the faster I can tell whether the game fits:

What gets featured

This blog is written for parents choosing games for young children, so submissions are judged the same way our articles ask parents to judge any app. In practice that means:

🚫 No third-party ads

Nothing served into the app from an ad network, because that is content nobody rated and no parent previewed. This is the first thing checked.

💸 No pressure to spend

No currency bundles, no loot boxes or gacha pulls, no timers that only a purchase can skip. A single one-time unlock is fine.

💬 No open chat

No voice or text chat with strangers, no friend requests, no outbound links to social media or the web from inside a kids app.

🧘 Calm by design

No streaks, no daily login bonuses, no endless feeds. Play should be finishable, and stopping should cost the child nothing.

✈️ Works offline

Not mandatory, but a strong signal. An app that runs in airplane mode cannot inject new content or send anything out.

🔒 Clean on privacy

A data safety section that matches the app's actual behaviour, and no advertising identifiers or location access in a game for four-year-olds.

Free and paid apps are equally welcome, on any platform. A small game that does one thing well is more interesting here than a large one that does forty things adequately. If you want to see the standard applied in practice, our two-minute safety check for any kids game and educational games that actually teach are the clearest examples.

What happens next

Every email is read. Games that fit get tried properly, usually with a child, which is the only test that means anything. From there a game might appear in a relevant guide, in a roundup, or in a piece of its own if there is something genuinely worth saying about it.

Two honest caveats. This is a small independent site rather than a review desk, so replies take time and not everything can be covered. And nothing is featured that would not be recommended to a friend, which is the whole reason a parent would trust the recommendation at all.

Guest posts and corrections

Guest articles are considered occasionally, when the topic genuinely helps parents choose safer games or make screen time better, and when the writer has real experience: developers, teachers, occupational therapists, paediatric professionals, and parents with something specific to say. Pitch the idea first rather than sending a finished draft.

Corrections are always welcome and always acted on. If an article here is out of date, or an app has changed since it was written, please say so, ideally with a link. Guidance for children's apps ages quickly, and this site would rather be accurate than consistent.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my kids game featured on the blog?

Email [email protected] with the game name, a store link, the age range, what a child does in it, and whether it has ads, purchases, chat, or offline support.

What kind of games are considered?

Games and apps for children roughly 2–12 that are safe by design: no third-party ads, no spending pressure, no open chat, no manipulative mechanics. Offline play, a clear age range, and a calm pace all help. Free and paid are both welcome.

Do you accept guest posts?

Occasionally, from people with genuine experience in children's apps, education, or child development. Pitch by email before writing.

How long does it take to hear back?

Not immediately, and not every submission can be covered. Clear emails that answer the questions above are much easier to evaluate and much more likely to get a reply.
