How to Submit a Game or Site to GameKB

Updated

GameKB provides two separate submission paths: Submit A Game for individual games and Submit Games/Sites for sites or bulk submissions. Both are linked from the site navigation and footer. Before submitting, search the existing index — the site states it has indexed 4,001,287 games and 6000+ tags, so there is a real chance your game is already listed.

The page footer lists About, Privacy, Terms of Service, Feedback, Submit Games/Sites, and DMCA Info as the available contact and policy routes. There is no other contact channel shown on the page.

Step-by-step: submitting a game

  1. Search first. Use the site search to look up your game by name. The search covers the full index of 4,001,287 games and 6000+ tags. If it already appears, there is nothing to submit.
  2. Open the submission form. Click Submit A Game in the navigation.
  3. Provide the game details. The form asks for the information needed to identify and categorize the game. Expect to supply the game's name, its playable URL, and a category or tag so it lands in the right place in the index.
  4. Submit and wait. GameKB states that new games are added on a rolling basis — the page reports 203 games added in the past 24 hours, with the "New Games" section updating every hour. That tells you the queue moves, but it does not promise a specific review time for your submission.

Submitting a site instead of a game

Use Submit Games/Sites if you run a games portal and want it indexed as a source. GameKB describes itself as indexing games from hundreds of popular game sites, so this path is aimed at site owners rather than players adding a single title.

What to check before you submit

  • Duplicate check. Search by exact title and by a distinctive word from the title. Tags are broad (Puzzle, Adventure, Action, Dress Up, Escape, and thousands more), so a tag search alone will not confirm whether your specific game exists.
  • Working URL. The game needs to be playable in a browser. The site's catalog is built around HTML5 and web games — recent additions include titles labeled "Html5," such as Crazy Sleeping Duck Escape Html5.
  • Correct category. Pick from the existing tag vocabulary where possible. The hot tags list shows the categories the site actively organizes around, including Puzzle, Adventure, Action, Dress Up, Cooking, Arcade, Escape, Skill, Shooting, Racing, Strategy, and Simulation.

If something goes wrong

Use the Feedback link for problems with a submission, a broken listing, or a general question. For copyright complaints, the site routes you to DMCA Info rather than the general feedback form — use that path if you are a rights holder.

One practical note: the page requires JavaScript to work properly ("Gamekb works best with JavaScript enabled"). If the submission form does not load or the search returns nothing, check that JavaScript is enabled in your browser before assuming the form is broken.

What GameKB does not state

The page does not publish a review timeline, acceptance criteria, or a guarantee that submitted games will be listed. It also does not describe any fee for submission. Treat the submission as a request to be indexed, not a confirmed placement, until the game appears in search results.
