Coolified Games is created by Coolmath.com, Inc. that is run by me, Karen Davis.  Before I "retired" to devote myself full-time to Coolmath, I taught at the community college level for 14 years and one of my specialties was teaching Math for Elementary School Teachers.

Unlike other game websites, Coolified Games is NOT a "gaming portal."  The majority of game websites simply embed games from other sites for free - meaning that they are given some code for a game and the game (along with its ads) is served to you from some other site.  These games contain potentially unsafe ads and links to the other gaming websites and their main purpose is to drive traffic to those other websites.

At Coolified Games, I contact the original creator of each game and pay for a special license that allows us to host the game on our own servers.  I ask them to remove the ads and all external links to their own sites or to other gaming sites.  Coolified Games is a gaming destination, not a portal to other gaming sites.

Why do we do it this way?  Because most gaming websites have games that are not safe for kids.  Seriously, while I was looking around for games to license for this site, I was, once again, shocked at how unsafe the majority of other gaming websites are.  I really wouldn't even want a teenaged kid of mine playing some of those games.  (Luckily, my cats prefer toy mice and string to online games.)

So, our games are safe both in content and not leading kids over to other game sites.

As for our advertising, we work with The Rubicon Project and have the highest level of screening and filters in place. 

For teachers, we made Coolified Games to replace Spike's Game Zone (which is a site that's been largely neglected over the years.)  If you allow your kids to visit Spike during school hours, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd review the content of Coolified Games and consider unblocking it from your schools filters!  There is nothing educational about these games, but they are good, clean, safe fun!
