STAFF MEMBERS - thanks for your dedication! ♥
Loki (Admin & IT support), LSquared (Admin), Nini xD (Japanese Translations), annaby (Replays & Author), EGW / Ale (Admin & Video Walkthroughs) & a few more (although some of them don't want to appear on this list, they all are doing a great job, working in the background!).
New Staff Member (1 month testing phase): Zoe... - welcome! ☺

UPDATE - NAVIGATION BAR: We continued to work on the navbar - feel free to check out the different (new) categories! ☺ (e.g. Best Escape Games & Other Escape Games moved from the permanently sticky posts on top of the site to only navbar links) - - - As we are working continuosly on the navbar on top of each page as per your desires and suggestions, you'll find another triage of the games in future - starting with the categories for only Mobile Games and Web EG. Under the latter label, there are only escape games for browsers (without pure mobile games) to find now (atm only about 800 from ca. 30 000 - the remaining ones must be relabeled manually, which takes a lot of time...! - but counting, so thx for your patience ☺).

We are in December and we have some gifts for players... but let's get into the Christmas spirit with a few DECORATIONS first: we shall climb into the attic, dust off some boxes of fun items and from the first Sunday in Advent, you might notice a few additions... To all players of all faiths, we wish you the same as we wish you any month: be happy, healthy, good luck and, well, you know the rest!
Hi guys, we are experimenting with lots of different things. I am trying to make an on/off button for the Xmas effects, but it's not really that easy, and I'm not confident I can do it... Blogger has limitations, and we are pushing them to the maximum...! Btw, a lot of players like this stuff and we can't run the site so it pleases every single person. We do our best and we want to bring a little colour, fun and change for holidays... bear with us while we find a happy balance. - Loki.
UPDATE-2 - We took another attempt & added a countdown clock feature, as well as some lights on top of the site (& we also slowed down the snow to not not have always kinda storm ☻). We hope that those gadgets won't cause any (new) issues for you, dear players...! ☺
Because some of the decorations caused different issues on several players' computers, we unfortunately had to remove most of the features...! :-/ Hence shall the Xmas spirit continue to live in our ♥...! ☺

STAR ICON: From now on, you'll find a (unicode) star icon symbolising a Featured Game in the titles of the games that will stay sticky for some time on top of the main page (above all the newest Replays and Mobile Games, but also creations of some crowd pullers like SD and also Japanese games). Enjoy! ☺
****************************************************************************03/12/2018 (Loki)
Please notice a NEW BUTTON: Right hand side, just above the search bar. We will be opening a live CHAT ROOM - fully moderated, safe for all the family and a great place to chat with the other players and tell the EG24 staff how rubbish they are :D This is our little gift, and we intend to bring you more gifts throughout the oncoming year...!

REVERSED COMMENT ORDER: The comments are in Blogger format, hence the order in only one thread can't be reversed (unfortunately, it's «all or nothing»...!). Btw: to jump to the most recent comments, hit the END key on your keyboard - that will drop you to the bottom of the page.
UPDATE - At least the messages here on top, we will from now on put in the reversed order, hence the most recent info, you'll find on top (just below Staff Members) - or also as a red Update in an already existing message with the same topic. We hope, this will help you to find the latest info a bit easier...! ☺
From now on, you'll find TWO BUTTONS on each page: Go To Bottom Of Page & Return To Top. I
put these buttons in place as some people said they didn't have an End button on their keyboard. The button at the top of the page is
discrete, just below the Spoiler Maker, and the return button is huge as it needs to stand out (only seen with adblocker off...!). I hope this makes life easier for all - Loki.

CONTACT US: From now on, not only top right in navigation bar on each page, but also as an orange banner at right side, we added a new form you can use to submit new games or older games worth a replay, report broken links or any other EG24 issues you might encounter while playing. When submitting a broken link, please add the URL of the particular game thread - thx! ☺

Hi guys - since it was stated, I was working on a better spoiler maker. By unanimous vote, the UpsideDown was the favourite. I've made it as easy to use as possible... I hope this appears a good option for you. Feedback always welcome, cheers - Loki.
SPOILER MAKER: From now on, you'll find a fun(ny) spoiler maker on top of each page. As ROT13 was used only seldomly, we replaced it with the upside-down feature. Like that, the spoiler won't be any gibberish anymore you have to decode, but with a bit of practice, you'll be able to read the upside-down text without decoding with the spoiler maker. However, it won't be easy to read and won't spoil, when only skimming through comments to find the help you need - enjoy! ☺
****************************************************************************04/11/2018 (AlphaOmega AΩ)
BROKEN LINKS: Our guesstimate revealed that about at least 1/3 of all games posted on EG24 (~ 38 000 meanwhile & counting...!) have broken links (esp. the older games), as they never were checked & updated in the past, hence it's a huge task meanwhile. We are working on it, but it will take time until everything is up-to-date again. But you can give us a hand: when you encounter a game with a broken link, plz email us the EG24 game thread link. We will then redraft the game to not to be shown on the site until a (possible) working link will be found - thx a bunch for you help! ♥ Contact Us

RATING SYSTEM (RS): In consequence of the on-going misuse* of the current RS by several EG24 players :-( , we will set another kind of RS in future. Our aim is - in order to get you used to this new RS - to have both shown simultaneously for some time.
*We have at least one troll & several mobile game haters who rate all games only 1* as soon as they are posted, without even playing them...! :-( There's also a trick several players (& devs!) know, how to manipulate the RS. Also with the current RS, we suggest to rate the quality of the games (awful, poor, average, good, excellent), i.e. you should play the game before, & not to rate a game low, only because you d/like the dev or the category.
UPDATE - Setting Loki's new created RS feature in the «dinosaury» Blogger system is causing more issues than expected...! :-( Therefore, we must find another solution...! Loki is working hard on this task, but it takes time to figure out, which feature is compatible with Blogger (& which one is not...!) - thx for your understanding & patience & thx Loki for your dedication! ☺
