How We Pick and Describe Games

Updated 2026-11-12

Our editorial policy

GameJoy launched in November 2026 as an English-language site for classic browser games: solitaire and card games, board and tile games such as mahjong, dominoes and ludo, puzzle and match games, word games, and sports and skill games. Every game is chosen by our editors by hand.

A game has to meet three conditions before it appears. It must run in the provider’s browser player, it must fit the classic-games niche, and it must contain no adult or gambling content. A game that fails any of these checks is not published, however popular it may be elsewhere.

The games are made by independent developers and distributed by GameDistribution and Y8, two game platforms. They run in the provider’s player inside an iframe on our page, and a game only loads after the visitor presses Play. Before that moment, no third-party game or ad request is made.

Each game page text is written from the developer’s own description and controls list. AI writing tools help us draft that text, 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. What you read on a game page describes what the developer says the game does and how it is controlled, nothing more.

If a game page contains a mistake, a broken game report or a correction request can be sent through the contact page, which explains what to include. There is no public email address yet. It is being set up and will be published on that page. A rights holder can ask us to remove a game page, and we remove it after checking the request. Games are provided as is, and we do not guarantee that a third-party game stays available.
