Word on the street is that Flash Player will be fully removed from most browsers by 2020. This includes our next brand-new game “Papa’s Mocharia To Go”, which will be coming to phones and tablets! No, this won’t affect any of our Papa’s Gamerias on phones and tablets! In fact, we’ve been working hard to convert all of the existing Papa’s games into apps, so they would still exist in some form after Flash was discontinued.Īfter our final web game “Papa’s Scooperia” in mid-2018, we’ve spent the past two years working entirely on mobile apps for phones and tablets, so we’ll plan to keep focusing on mobile apps for our games. However, we will keep the Flash versions of our games accessible on our website for legacy browsers and any possible future solutions that may develop.

After December 2020, once the web browser manufacturers remove support for Flash Player, our games won’t be playable on the website anymore. Unfortunately all of our web games require the Flash Player to be able to play them, since they’ve been built specifically to use Flash and all of its features and strengths.

What does this mean for games on the website? Sadly, while Flash has been a part of the Web for over two decades, the companies that make all of the popular web browsers have now decided to remove the Flash Player plugin from their browsers, and Adobe officially announced that Flash Player would no longer be supported after December 2020. Flash Player gave us the ability to create games that anyone could play right from our website over the last 14 years, and allowed us to distribute those games across hundreds of websites to reach a massive audience and develop a group of amazing fans! Given that the site will survive 2020’s Flash shutdown, its library will still exist for nostalgic young adults, teenagers, and kids alike for the foreseeable future.As you may know, all of our games on our website are built with Flash, and have been designed to be played in browsers that have the Adobe Flash Player plugin. As one signatory on the petition succinctly stated, “ was there for me when school was ass.” As such, it was typically accessible on restrictive school internet networks and provided entertainment or stress relief during long school days. The site’s fame lies in the fact that it’s branded as educational despite the fact that not all of its games are explicitly tied to math or logic. Affinity for the site seems to be relatively dependent on generation: those who remember Coolmath Games as an integral part of our educations were likely born in 1995 or later. Affiliate sites Coolmath4Kids and Coolmath Games followed and made the pivot from math explainers to games. Perhaps most notably, a petition that addressed Microsoft, Google, and President Donald Trump as decision makers amassed approximately 143,000 signatures in three days.Ĭ launched in 1997 to. A tweet claiming that the site was shutting down made more modest rounds, but still received nearly 400 retweets. The 2,800 comments on the original reddit post are for the most part despondent and there are plenty of Fs pressed to pay respects. The original poster has since retracted their claims in an apology post on r/teenagers, but for three days, concern ran rampant. A representative told Polygon that while the concern seems to be primarily tied to Flash games, the site itself has been focused on HTML5 games for years many old favorite Flash games have been converted to HTML5 as to still remain playable. Polygon has confirmed with Coolmath Games that the site will not shut down as a result of Flash discontinuation. However, kids and young adults who habitually return to games like Run or World’s Hardest Game don’t need to worry about losing their favorites.

Three days ago, Reddit user u/OneHappyPie threw r/teenagers into a panic by declaring in a since-edited post that the website was shutting down after Adobe discontinues Flash support at the end of 2020 ( a fact that’s been known since 2017). Coolmath Games, a popular Flash game website and a mainstay of Generation Z culture, is not shutting down in 2020.
