What are unblocked games?

[emmyjohn]

I’ve been hearing a lot about unblocked games lately, especially from students at school. What exactly are unblocked games, and how are they different from regular online games? Are unblocked games safe to use, or can they cause issues with school networks or devices?
I’m just trying to understand how unblocked games work and whether there are any risks involved. Would appreciate a clear explanation.

Unblocked games are online games that can be accessed on networks where gaming sites are typically restricted, such as schools or workplaces. They are usually hosted on "mirror" sites or platforms like Google Sites and GitHub that bypass standard web filters. These games are popular because they require no installation and can be played directly through a browser, providing a quick entertainment break during downtime.

Unblocked games are online games that can be played on school or workplace networks where many gaming sites are restricted. They’re usually simple browser-based games hosted on alternative websites that bypass filters. These games don’t require downloads and run directly in a web browser. However, access depends on network rules, and some sites may be unsafe or against school policies. Always follow local guidelines.
