Editorial Guidelines

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Our editorial mission

GameJadoo exists to help players find genuinely fun free browser games without wading through the ad-stuffed, clone-flooded corners of the modern web. Every piece of content we publish — from a two-paragraph game description to a 3,000-word strategy guide — is held to the same standard: it must be original, accurate, useful, and honest.

We are a small independent editorial team. We do not run sponsored content, we do not accept payment for placement on any list, and we do not have investors pressuring us to publish more, faster, cheaper. That gives us the freedom to hold a slower, higher standard than most games portals — and we intend to keep using it.

Content originality

Every article, guide, description, and recommendation on GameJadoois original, written by a human editor on our team, based on their own gameplay and research. Specifically:

• No AI-generated content. We do not use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other large language model to write article text on the site. Our editors may use AI tools for grammar checking or brainstorming topic ideas, but the final prose is human-written and human-edited.
• No scraping. We do not summarize, spin, or paraphrase content from competing sites, aggregators, or wikis. Every claim in a strategy guide comes from our own playthroughs.
• Original screenshots and captures. Every screenshot and gameplay reference on this site was captured by an editor playing the actual game on real hardware.
• No syndicated boilerplate. We do not publish game descriptions or howtoplay text supplied by publishers or vendors without rewriting them in our own voice.

Fact-checking and accuracy

Because our content is largely opinion-driven (strategy suggestions, game recommendations, curated lists), fact-checking on GameJadoofocuses on gameplay accuracy — making sure that when we say "swipe left to combine tiles", swiping left actually does combine tiles in the version of the game we are describing.

Our fact-check checklist for a new article:

• Every control claim is verified in-game. If we write "tap the top-right corner to open the menu", an editor has actually done that and confirmed the menu opens.
• Every strategy claim was tested in at least three separate playthroughs. If a technique only worked once, we say so explicitly; if it worked repeatedly, we recommend it.
• Every score, statistic or benchmark number is our own.We do not repeat numbers from other sites without independent verification.
• Every external claim (game history, release dates, cultural context) is sourced from at least two reliable references before publication.

Corrections policy

If we make a factual error, publish an out-of-date claim, or receive a credible report that a piece of guidance no longer works, we correct it. Our corrections process:

1. Verify the error. An editor reproduces the issue on the current build of the game.
2. Fix the article. The incorrect text is edited to be accurate.
3. Note the correction. If the change is material, we add a short note explaining what changed and when. Minor typo fixes are silent; substantive changes are logged.
4. Update the "last modified" date so readers know the article is fresh.

We do not silently rewrite history. If you spot an error, please email us at gamejadoo100@gmail.com with the URL and the specific issue.

Independence and conflicts of interest

GameJadoo operates independently. To keep it that way, we follow the following rules:

• No pay-for-placement. Rankings on any of our curated lists cannot be purchased. If a game is on our "Best Puzzle Games" list, it is there because we personally rated it highly against our review rubric — not because a studio paid, provided free copies, or promised anything in return.
• No affiliate influence over rankings. Where we do use affiliate links (for accessories or unrelated products), the existence of an affiliate relationship never influences whether something appears on a list. Our editorial team maintains a strict firewall from any commercial considerations.
• Sponsored content is labeled. If we ever publish sponsored content in the future, it will be clearly labeled as such at the top of the article, in the URL, and in the article metadata. Sponsored content will never appear on organic curated lists.
• Advertising is standard programmatic. The ads served on GameJadoo are chosen by Google AdSense or similar programmatic ad networks, not by us. We do not have editorial control over which ads appear.

User-generated content

GameJadoo does not currently accept user-submitted articles, comments, or forum posts. All content is written by our internal editorial team. This is a deliberate choice to keep quality controlled and to avoid the moderation overhead of an open comment system.

We do welcome private feedback via email, and we do act on player reports of bugs, broken games, or factual errors. See our contact page for how to reach us.

Content review cycle

Games change. A guide that was accurate in 2024 might be out of date by 2026. To keep GameJadoo useful, we run the following review cycles:

• Featured lists (like the homepage, category front pages, and pillar "best of" posts) are re-reviewed at least once per quarter. Games that no longer meet our quality bar are removed; new stronger entries take their place.
• Strategy guides are re-reviewed once per year or whenever a reader flags an issue. If the underlying game changes materially, the guide is either updated or archived.
• Game descriptions are re-checked when we notice the game itself has updated (new controls, new modes, art style overhaul, etc.).

The last-updated date on every article reflects the most recent substantive review or edit.

What we will not publish

Because trust matters more than traffic, there are things we refuse to publish on GameJadoo:

• Sensational or clickbait headlines. Every headline on this site is intended to accurately reflect the article. If we say "top ten", the article really has ten items and they really are our current top ten.
• Fake reviews or invented ratings. We do not publish star ratings, aggregate scores, or user reviews that we cannot back up with real data.
• Adult content. GameJadoo is a family-friendly site suitable for players of all ages, including children playing on school Chromebooks.
• Content promoting illegal activity, gambling, or hate speech.
• Content generated primarily to game search engines. Every article we publish is written to be genuinely useful to a player, not to a crawler.
