Plain terms for a free game.
Clue O'Clock is free to play, for personal enjoyment. You may share your results anywhere you like. Please do not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it wholesale, or automate play.
The mysteries, clues, writing, design and code are original work and remain the property of their author. Quoting a clue with a link back is fine and encouraged. Republishing the collection is not.
The clues are researched and checked, but this is a game, not a reference work. If you find a factual error, please tell us and it will be corrected.
The game is offered as it is, with no guarantee that it will always be reachable or that your saved progress will survive a browser change, a cleared cache or a new device. Progress is stored only on your device.
The site is funded by advertising. Optional video ads are offered in exchange for in-game clues only. No reward has any cash value, and nothing here can be bought, sold or transferred.
These terms may be updated; the date at the top will always say when. Continuing to play after a change means accepting it.
