Playable now means the game is finished, has been tested by hand on real phones, and you can open the current version on this website today. Ready - in final checks means it has passed testing on phones and is waiting on its last checks before we publish it here. In quality control means the game is built and working, and is being checked by hand - language, phone layout, and whether a student could pass it by guessing. In build means it is designed but not written yet. These labels are worked out from our own test records, not set by hand, so a game cannot be shown as further along than the evidence supports.

You may not:

3. Licensed Products

The full Accounting Arcade game suite is available under a separate licence agreement. Licensed institutions may deploy the games on their own Learning Management System (LMS) for educational use by their students and staff. Full licence terms are provided upon purchase.

1. Information We Collect

You can read this website and play every game on it without signing up, without an account, and without giving us your name or your email address. Nothing you do inside a game is sent to us.

The one place this website sends us anything about you is the contact form. If you choose to fill it in, it sends us what you typed: your name and your email address, and — only if you fill them in — your institution, what you would like help with, and your message. If you never use the form, we hold nothing about you at all.

Your message reaches us through a third-party form service, so what you type passes through their servers on its way to us. If you would rather not use the form, email us directly instead — the address is at the foot of every page.

Our pages load their typefaces from an external font service, so that service sees your IP address when a page loads. Beyond that we use no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use what you send us, through the contact form or by email, only to reply to you and — if that is what you have asked about — to arrange licensing and support. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not pass it to anyone beyond the form service that delivers your message to us.

3. Demo Games

The demo games on this website do not collect or store any personal data. When deployed via SCORM on your institution's LMS, any data collection is governed by your institution's own privacy policies.

4. Cookies

This website does not use tracking cookies or analytics services.
