> What StreamArena checks before a game goes into the gallery. Every game is played on a test stream with chat and phones.

We play every game on a test stream with chat and phones before it goes into the gallery, and check it against the same rules our own games follow. Submissions open with the maker launch.

| Rule | What we check |
|---|---|
| Plays by phone | Every round works with phone join. Chat is the upgrade, never the only way in |
| Fun with 1 to 5 | A small stream can finish a game, and the house player has something to say |
| Reads in a second | Big text, one idea at a time, readable on a phone-sized player |
| Learnable in one round | The first round teaches the game. No rules screen |
| Short rounds | 20 to 60 seconds, then a reveal that is fun to watch |
| Safe on stream | Names and text go through the safety filter. No gambling mechanics |
| Funny, never mean | Jokes are about the game, never about a player |
| Yours to publish | You have the rights to every image, clip and sound in it |
