Welcome to STEAM Dreams PLAY (“PLAY”), operated by STEAM Dreams Studios LLC (“STEAM Dreams,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the STEAM Dreams PLAY website, games, accounts, features and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

About STEAM Dreams PLAY
STEAM Dreams PLAY provides interactive games and experiences designed to encourage learning, creativity, problem-solving, exploration and skill development.
Our games may include single-player experiences, multiplayer features, achievements, progress tracking, leaderboards and other interactive features.
Features may change, be added, or be removed as PLAY develops.
Children and Parent/Guardian Accounts
PLAY is designed for children and families.
Children may use PLAY only through account and consent processes established by STEAM Dreams for their age and circumstances.
Where parental consent is required, a parent or legal guardian must provide the required consent before STEAM Dreams collects, uses or discloses a child's personal information as permitted by applicable law.
For Parents & Guardians
Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their child's use of PLAY and for maintaining the security of any adult account credentials.
Account Information
Depending on the features used, an account may allow a player to maintain game progress, achievements and other gameplay information.
We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to provide the Service.
Where player names are displayed, STEAM Dreams may provide or assign a system-generated player identifier.
Keep Personal Information Private
Players should never use their real name, home address, phone number, school name, email address or other personal information as a public player name.
Safe and Appropriate Use
You agree to use PLAY only for lawful and appropriate purposes.
You may not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, games, systems or data.
- Interfere with the operation or security of PLAY.
- Cheat, exploit bugs, manipulate scores or otherwise interfere with gameplay.
- Impersonate another player, parent, teacher, school or STEAM Dreams representative.
- Upload, transmit or submit content that contains personal information about yourself or another person.
- Use PLAY to harass, threaten, bully or harm another person.
- Attempt to communicate with other players outside of features expressly provided and controlled by PLAY.
- Use automated systems or unauthorized software to manipulate gameplay, scores or achievements.
STEAM Dreams may suspend or restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect players, the Service or the integrity of gameplay.
Multiplayer and Communication
Some PLAY games may include multiplayer or competitive features.
STEAM Dreams may limit or disable communication features in order to maintain a safe, age-appropriate environment.
Where communication features are provided, they may use predefined messages, symbols, reactions or other moderated systems rather than unrestricted player-to-player communication.
Players should never share personal information through gameplay or communication features.
Leaderboards and Achievements
PLAY may provide leaderboards, achievements, badges, scores or other recognition features.
These features are intended to recognize gameplay accomplishments and encourage positive participation.
STEAM Dreams may modify, reset, remove or discontinue scores, rankings, achievements or other game statistics when reasonably necessary for security, fairness, technical or product reasons.
Public-facing features will be designed to avoid unnecessarily displaying children's personal information.

Game Scores and Progress
Gameplay progress, scores, achievements and other statistics may be stored to provide the Service and maintain a player's experience.
