Cool Math Games is an online web portal that serves as a platform for Flash and HTML web browser games. Cool Math Games first went online in 1997.[1][2][3]
The site hosts only games that they believe are non-violent and educational.[2][4]
In November 2019, Popular Mechanics listed Cool Math Games as one of its "50 most important websites" since the internet was created.[5]
Shutdown hoax
Rumors began spreading in Summer 2019 that Cool Math Games would be shutting down in 2020 due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash Player and a petition on Change.org to stop it shutting down even reached over 100,000 signatures.[2][6][3][7] However, Cool Math Games confirmed that it would not be shutting down and was focusing on getting new HTML5 games and converting old Flash Games to HTML5.[3][2]
Reception
Coolmath Games has received generally positive reception. The Daily Dot called the website’s library of content “impressive” in a run-down of the best games on the site.[8]
