Kid Smash Games is an independent project by Anders Kitson, an independent developer in Canada. It started the way these things usually do: a small child, a laptop, and a search for "keyboard smash" that turned up a dozen sites of wildly different quality, some with ads, some broken, and none with a straight answer about whether the screen could be locked.
So this site does three things:
- Reviews every keyboard smash site we can find. We open each one, play it, try to get out of it, take our own screenshot and write down what we saw. 12 so far, last checked September 5, 2026.
- Makes small games of its own. Free, with no ads and no tracking, starting with a koala that eats the leaves you smash and, soon, a keyboard smash game and a story book built to the same rules.
- Writes guides on the parts nobody explains: fullscreen, lockdown, what actually works at one year old.
Independence
Nobody pays to be listed or reviewed, and we do not accept free products in exchange for coverage. The site is funded by our own games, optional donations and a small number of labelled affiliate links to parent-safe gear. See the parents page for the details.
The weekly check
A script re-opens every listed site each week, confirms it still loads, refreshes the screenshot and updates the "last checked" date. When a site stops loading we mark it rather than delete it, so you know what happened.
