Best Game Blocker App for Windows
Looking to manage your child’s gaming habits? A game blocker app like HT Parental Controls makes it easy. Block game websites (e.g., block Roblox), block desktop game apps, set daily time limits and schedules, and tailor rules to your child.
Games fall into two buckets: web games you open in a browser (e.g., poki.com, crazygames.com) and installed apps (e.g., Minecraft, Fortnite, Steam). Each type is blocked differently.
Game Blocker for Sites: How to Block Game Websites
- Download HT Parental Controls and install it on your child’s computer.
- Open Rules → Website Limits.
- Set Games to Block (stop all) or Limit (scheduled / max daily time).
- For finer control, add individual game site URLs to the Custom list.
Prefer a whitelist? Set Games = Block and add trusted sites with Allow or Limit statuses.
Game Blocker for Apps: How to Block Game Apps
It’s important to note that game apps are different from game sites, as they are installed on the computer and do not require a web browser or Internet access. To block such games, follow these steps:
- Download HT Parental Controls and install it on your child’s computer from any account.
- Go to Rules → App Blocking.
- Set Games to Block (stop all game apps) or Limit (scheduled / max daily time game apps).
- For finer control, add individual game app .exe files to the Custom list.
