Every day, a new site for free games is blocked by our district, taking away our freedom and escape from the prison known as our school. The constant struggle to find these pleasures extinguishes our spirit and crushes our souls, forced to embrace the cold bars of education. There has to be somewhere where our district hasn’t placed its forbidding gaze, a paradise no one has yet to experience, and there is. Fully unblocked games on our Chromebooks, some of which would usually have to be paid for, are now free to the student mass.
Maybe you’re addicted to something a bit different, such as Block Blast. Well, there’s a website for you, HOODA MATH. They offer Block Blast, Flappy Bird, Geometry Dash, car and bike games, clicker games, the entire Papa franchise, and much more.

Not enough to keep you occupied? You need more to satisfy your soul that craves unblocked games? Or perhaps more substance, well then MathTest is the place you belong. They have a smaller selection but much higher quality, with titles such as Five Nights At Freddy’s which would usually cost $4.99 on Steam, Paper.io 2, Cookie Clicker, Temple Run 2, Duck Life, Fireboy And Watergirl, Fruit Ninja, Flappy Bird, and more.

Still not enough? Well you are in luck, there is a place for that, an oasis called github.io. Imagine 420 games, some of the nobility are Pizza Tower which would be $19.99 on Steam, Minecraft Java Edition(yes the full game) which would usually be $26.99, the ENTIRE Riddle School franchise which would be $9.99, Subway Surfers, Bloons Tower Defense 1, 2, and 4, Baldi’s Basics, Jetpack Joyride, Galaga, Super Mario, Super Mario 64, and SO MUCH MORE.

Though these games are very fun and these sites are addictive, it’s only a matter of time before our district blocks these, and it’s time for us to find a new site. That’s the fun part though, there is always bound to be an unblocked game website our district hasn’t laid its gaze upon yet, it’s just up to us as a student body to find it.
Of course, not allowing games is not just a district policy, but the policy is based upon several federal Acts:
