THE RULES

Last updated: 12 November 2026

1. THESE RULES

These are the terms for using OUTFLANKED at outflanked.app, run by mewebe.com in the United Kingdom ("we"). By playing you agree to them. If you are a child, please read them with a grown-up. Our privacy page says what we do with information about you.

2. THE GAME

OUTFLANKED is free to play. You can play alone against computer players, with family and friends in a room, in WORLD (an open room where you play with people you don't know), in REALM (a shared world of real players where you build an island and can attack, and be attacked by, other kingdoms), and in War Games (wars played one turn at a time). An account is optional: a grown-up can make one with an email address so a family keeps its gold and progress across devices. Gold can also be bought; buying is for grown-ups and follows our terms of sale. Gold is part of the game only: it has no money value and cannot be cashed out or traded. We may change the game, pause it to update it, or stop it, and we can't promise it will always be available.

3. WHO CAN PLAY

Everyone, and children are welcome: OUTFLANKED is made for families. We don't ask anyone's age, so everyone gets the same protections. For young children, we suggest a grown-up decides whether they play in WORLD, where the other players are strangers.

4. NAMES

• Your name is shown to everyone in your room and on its scoreboard; in WORLD, REALM, War Games, challenges and shared levels, to people you don't know. The same rules apply to every name you type: kingdom and team names, war titles, level, challenge and bot names.
• Use a nickname. No full real names, phone numbers, addresses, schools, ages, or usernames or handles from other apps or websites.
• No rude, hateful, sexual or threatening names, and don't pretend to be someone else (for example "MUM" or a moderator).
• The game refuses some names on its own. We may change or remove any name that breaks these rules.

5. HOW TO BEHAVE

• No bullying, harassment, hate, threats or sexual content, in names, in the shapes you build, or in how you play.
• Never try to get a player, especially a child, to tell you where they live, their school or their number, to send pictures, or to talk to you on another app or website.
• Hacking in OUTFLANKED means the tricks and scripts the game itself gives you. Those are part of the fun. Attacking our server or website, other players' devices or connections, trying to get at information that isn't yours, or flooding the game so others can't play is not allowed, and may be reported to the police. If you find a real security bug, please tell us at [email protected]; thank you in advance.

5A. THINGS YOU MAKE AND UPLOAD

• Maps you upload as a picture, levels you build and code you write must be yours, or something you are allowed to use.
• No pictures or shapes that are rude, hateful, sexual, violent in a real-world way, or that show a real person, an address or other personal details.
• We may remove anything that breaks these rules, and you let us store and show what you make to the players it is meant for, so the game can work.

6. HOW WE KEEP PEOPLE SAFE

• There is no chat, no private messaging and no friend requests in the game. The only words a player can show are the names they type (player, kingdom, team, war, level, challenge and bot names), and the game refuses some rude words. Pictures uploaded as War Games maps are seen only by the players in that war.
• Rooms are joined with a 5-letter code or a link carrying it. Anyone with the code or link can join that room. Only send it to people you know. If a code gets out, make a new room: it gets a new code, and the old link no longer reaches you.
• The room's host can remove a player with KICK.
• A real person reads every report within 48 hours (see SAFETY).
• When someone breaks these rules we may remove their name from scoreboards, close a room, block their connection, or stop them using OUTFLANKED. Where a child may be at risk, or the law requires it, we tell the police, CEOP or the National Crime Agency.
• We can't watch every room as it happens. Most protection comes from how the game is built (above) and from reports.

7. REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS

To report a player, a name or anything that worries you, follow the safety page. If you disagree with something we did, or did not do, about a report, or with how we run OUTFLANKED, email [email protected]. We look again and answer within 14 days. If we took action against you, we tell you why when we can reach you, and you can ask us to look again in the same way.

8. OUR GAME

The game, its art, sounds and code belong to mewebe.com. You may play it and share links to it, but not copy or sell it.

9. IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

OUTFLANKED is a free game provided as it is (gold you buy is covered by the terms of sale). As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses caused by the game being unavailable or by things other players do. Nothing in these rules takes away rights you have under UK consumer law, or limits our responsibility where the law does not allow us to limit it.

10. OUTSIDE THE UK

You can play OUTFLANKED from anywhere. If you live outside the UK, these rules still apply, along with any rights your own country's law gives you that cannot be taken away.

11. LAW

These rules are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you can also use the courts where you live.

12. CHANGES AND CONTACT

If we change these rules we update this page and the date at the top. Questions: [email protected].
