Terms of use

Last updated 11 November 2026

Tickle's games are free to play in your browser. You must be 16 or over. An account is optional. Be kind in comments and the forum, and play fair on the leaderboards. You can share and embed our game pages, but don't copy the games onto other sites.

Who we are

tickle.io, snowboardsurfers.com, cozycitizen.com and imaginekingdoms.com are run by Zeebo UK Limited, 49 Greek Street, London W1D 4EG, England ("Tickle", "we"). Registered in England and Wales, company number 05977542. By using any of them you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the sites.

Age

The sites are for people aged 16 and over. If you're under 16, please don't use them.

Free to play

You don't need an account to play, there's no download and there's nothing to buy. We may change, pause or remove any game, leaderboard or feature at any time, and we may stop running a site.

Tickets, achievements and prizes

• Tickets have no money value. You earn them only by playing our games. They can't be bought, sold, swapped, transferred to anyone else or exchanged for money or anything outside our games, and we never sell them. They aren't your property: they're a feature of the games, like a score.
• You can spend tickets only in a game's prize machine, on cosmetics for that game (a look for a character, a card back, a stage's colours). Every pull gives one you don't have yet, at the odds the machine shows, and nothing it gives changes how a game plays or scores.
• We may change how many tickets things give or cost, take back tickets, achievements or prizes that came from runs that weren't real play (see Leaderboards), and change or end tickets, levels, achievements, prizes or the daily challenge. If we end them, nobody is owed anything for them. Deleting your account deletes them.

Accounts

• An account on tickle.io is optional. It lets you comment, post in the forum, keep your clips, game saves, tickets and achievements, join the leaderboards, log, rate, review and make lists of the games you play, and follow other players.
• You sign in with a code we email to you. Keep that email account secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you. One account per person.
• Your username and avatar are public, on your profile page too, with your approved reviews and lists, who you follow and who follows you and, unless you turn it off on your account page, the games you've logged, your ratings, favorites and want-to-play list. Don't use your real name or anyone else's, don't pretend to be Tickle or another person, and nothing offensive. We may remove a username, avatar or account that breaks these terms or the community rules.
• You can follow other players to see in your activity feed what they log, rate, review and list, and block a player you don't want to deal with: you then stop following each other and don't see each other in your feeds or follow lists. Following or blocking someone sends them nothing. Don't use follows to harass anyone; report what breaks the community rules.
• You can change your avatar, or delete your account, at any time on your account page, and your username once every 30 days. Your profile's address is your username (tickle.io/@yourname), so it changes with it: the old address then says only that the player changed their name, and the old name is kept for you for 90 days so nobody else can take it. Your public reviews and lists stay up under your new name, and links to them keep working. Deleting your account takes your posts, reviews and lists off the site at once; we keep them hidden until you ask us to erase them.

Comments, forum posts, reviews and lists

You're responsible for what you post, and a review or a list is a post like any other. Follow the community rules. Moderators read posts, reviews and lists (and edits of reviews, and of a list's title, description and notes) before anyone else sees them and may reject or remove any of them, and suspend accounts that keep breaking the rules. A review is your own opinion of a game: mark it if it gives the game away (spoilers). Once a list is up, the games on it and their order change as soon as you change them; a moderator can still remove the list.

You keep the rights in what you write. By posting it, you give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, copy and show it on Tickle, and to make the small changes needed to display it (such as line breaks, or a shortened version in a list), for as long as it stays up. The same goes for your username and avatar, your ratings, the lists you make (the games you pick and their order, as well as their words), and the scores and replays you put on the leaderboards. If you delete your account, your posts, reviews and lists come off the site at once; we keep them stored, hidden, under this licence until you ask us to erase them. Only post what you have the right to share.

Leaderboards

• When you're signed in, your best scores go on each game's leaderboards with your username and avatar once we've checked them by replaying the run, and anyone can watch that replay.
• Scores must come from your own real play in our games on tickle.io. No bots, scripts, modified games, edited replays or other tricks, and no playing on someone else's account. The same goes for tickets, achievements and prizes.
• We may check scores, remove any we think aren't real, and take away an account's place on the leaderboards. Leaderboards may reset or change.

What you can do

• Play our games for your own fun.
• Share links to our pages.
• Embed one of our game pages on your own site in an iframe, unchanged, with the link back to us left visible.
• Post screenshots and videos of your own play, and stream it, including on channels that earn money from ads, sponsors or subscriptions. Please name the game and say it's on tickle.io. Don't suggest we sponsor or endorse you unless we've agreed it.

What you can't do

• Copy, download or re-host our games, code, art, music or sound, or put them in another site, app or game (screenshots, videos and streams of your own play are fine, as above).
• Remove or hide our name, the link back to us or our copyright notices, or cover the game with anything else.
• Pass a game off as your own or as someone else's.
• Overload, attack or try to break into the sites, or use bots to send automated traffic.
• Cheat on the leaderboards, or post anything that breaks the community rules.
• Use the sites in a way that breaks the law.

If you find a copy of one of our games on another site, please tell us at hello@tickle.io.

Who owns what

The games, their code, art, music, sound, names and logos belong to Tickle or the people who licensed them to us. Using the sites doesn't give you any rights in them beyond what these terms allow. The fonts are used under the SIL Open Font License; the notices are in /fonts/LICENSE.txt.

Your saved progress

Your progress is saved in your browser, not on our servers. Clearing your browser data, using a private window or switching device or site loses it, and we can't get it back. If you're signed in, your clips, your leaderboard scores, your level progress, your tickets, achievements and prizes and the saves of games that carry on from one play to the next are also kept in your account.

Other websites and ads

We link to other websites and may show ads from other companies in future. We don't control those sites or ads and aren't responsible for them.

No guarantees

We provide the sites and games as they are and as available. We try to keep them working, but we don't promise they'll always be available, error-free or suitable for any purpose.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to exclude or limit. Nothing in them limits any rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.

Subject to that:

• We're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it's an obvious result of what we did, or if you and we both knew it might happen when you started using the sites. We aren't responsible for loss or damage that isn't foreseeable.
• The sites and games are for your own private use. We aren't responsible for any loss of profit, business, revenue or business opportunity.
• If something we provide damages your device or other digital content because we didn't use reasonable care and skill, we'll repair the damage or pay you fair compensation.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top when we do. If you keep using the sites after a change, the new terms apply.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute about them. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts, and if you're a consumer living in the EU, in the courts of the country where you live. If you're a consumer living in the EU or the UK, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.
