The title says it and the narrator repeats it: there is no game here, so please leave. Poki’s description gives the real task, which is to work out how to play “despite the narrator trying to stop you at any chance he can get”. You do it by prodding at the screen itself. “Break the title, play with the speaker icon, and unlock mini-games,” the page adds.
It began small. Wikipedia says it won the 2015 Newgrounds Construct Jam and calls it “a short 10-15 minute title”. KaMiZoTo is the alias of the French developer Pascal Cammisotto. A longer paid sequel, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, is a different game and is not the one on Poki.
What the first 2 clicks did on 10 November 2026
The game loaded inside the Poki page in desktop Chromium, with no Play button to press and no video advert in front of it. The first screen offered 2 flags, French and British. A click on the British flag brought a splash line, “Probably not made with Construct 2”, and then the title THERE IS NO GAME faded in.
One more click on the title changed nothing, and the session stopped there, under 1 minute in.
Adverts and money on the Poki page
There Is No Game is free and Poki asked for no account. The page had 2 advertising slots, in the right-hand column and under the game, and the right-hand one played a muted video. No shop, coin counter or watch-an-advert button appeared in the game itself.
Poki’s FAQ is blunt about the bargain: “Ads are what allows Poki to offer a free gaming experience.” It adds that there is no paid or advert-free version of poki.com.
Age and content of There Is No Game
There is no PEGI rating to quote. Steam carries a free edition called There Is No Game: Jam Edition 2015 and marks it for all ages, with L in Brazil and 3 in Indonesia. The content is jokes: text, a voice and visual gags, with nothing violent on the screens seen.
Poki’s website rules, in the version served to a browser outside the UK, say the site is for visitors “of 16 years and older”. Poki adds that the age depends on where you are, so the UK wording was not confirmed. Its site for younger children is kids.poki.com.
