Most browser games do not state an age rating, so the choice is yours. These pointers help you match a game to a child's age and keep the experience safe.

Ages 3 to 5: tap, drag and discover

Look for games with no reading, no countdown timers and one obvious action, such as tapping a character or dragging a shape. Colouring, matching and simple animal games work well. Avoid anything that asks for a name, an email address or a chat message.

Ages 6 to 8: short levels and clear goals

Children this age can follow a short instruction and enjoy finishing a level. Easy puzzle and racing games fit well because each round takes only a few minutes and failing is gentle.

Ages 9 to 12: planning and teamwork

Strategy, building and sports games build planning and patience. This is also the age where multiplayer modes appear, so check whether a game has open text chat before allowing it.

Teenagers: agree on limits together

Older players can handle more complex games, and the useful conversation is about time rather than content: how long, and at what point in the day.

A quick safety checklist for parents

• Play the game yourself for five minutes before your child does.
• Check that it starts without creating an account.
• Look for public chat, links that leave the page, or requests for personal details.
• Remember that ads inside games come from third parties. If something unsuitable appears, close the tab and tell us through the contact page so we can review the game.
