Editorial guidelines

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Every one of the 171 game pages on GN Math has its own written guide: what the game is, how to play it, a controls table, tips, related games and answers to common questions. This page explains the rules we follow when we write and update those guides, so you know what you can trust and how to tell us when we get something wrong.

1. Facts come from the game itself

We describe only what we can confirm. Each guide is based on the game's source code, which is public for every game on the site, and on loading and testing the game in a browser. Key bindings, scoring rules, level counts and whether a game saves progress are checked in the code or in play. If we cannot confirm a detail, we leave it out instead of guessing.

2. No fake numbers or reviews

We do not publish star ratings, play counts, "players online" figures or reviews. We do not invent quotes or testimonials. When we recommend a game, for example in our best picks or in the "If you like this, try these" section of a game page, we say why in plain words.

3. Written from scratch, in plain language

Guides are written for this site and are not copied from game descriptions, app stores or other websites. We aim for short paragraphs, everyday words and a reading level that suits students. We avoid hype and filler such as "the ultimate experience" and keep each page focused on helping you play.

4. Respect for creators and trademarks

Every game is open source and used under its license. The author, license and a link to the original code appear on every game page and on the credits page. We do not use other companies' trademarked game names to describe our games, and we describe genres in general terms instead of comparing to well-known brands.

5. Safety and age-appropriateness

The site is used by students, so we only list games that suit a general audience. Games that need accounts, chat or outside servers are not added. Read more on is GN Math safe?

6. Updates and corrections

When a game changes or a reader reports a mistake, we check the game again and update the guide. Significant fixes, such as a wrong control or rule, are made as soon as they are confirmed. To report an error, email contact@gnsmath.com with the page address and what is wrong, or use the contact page.

7. Independence

No game developer pays to be listed or recommended. The site currently shows no ads. If that ever changes, ads will be clearly separated from the guides and will never decide which games we recommend.
