# Pumpkin Cat Games

> 100% free, advert-free, subscription-free classic games for children. Built by a dad with zero data tracking and zero paywalls.

Pumpkin Cat Games is an independent children's games project created by Drew Harding, a Dad and Founder of Pumpkin Cat Games and father of two, in response to predatory monetisation, deceptive subscription traps ("VIP passes"), unskippable video adverts, and telemetry tracking in mainstream children's apps.
