At its core, an "unblocked game" is simply a video game that bypasses a school, library, or workplace’s internet firewall. Schools use content filtering software (like GoGuardian, Securly, or Lightspeed) to block entertainment sites—Steam, Twitch, YouTube Gaming, and most traditional game portals.

Unblocked game sites are the rebels of this ecosystem. They are typically small, lightweight, HTML5-based websites that host classics like Happy Wheels, Run 3, Shell Shockers, 1v1.LOL, and Retro Bowl.
