General Questions
What is PlayMesa?
PlayMesa is a curated portal for browser games focused on education. We're completely free and ad-free, designed for learners who want to expand their knowledge through play.
Are all games only educational?
No, but we curate games carefully. We ban mindless clickers and low-effort genres, but we include games that are just plain fun. Our rating system shows you the cognitive and educational depth of each game. We also try to motivate players to play games with higher educational value.
How do you make money?
PlayMesa runs on voluntary donations. When you donate to a game, 80% goes to the developer and 20% supports PlayMesa. This is enough to cover our costs and keep the platform running. We are not profit driven company. We will NEVER introduce advertisement or sell your data.
