IFComp 2025 games geoblocked in the UK

Recommendations by JTN

In response to the United Kingdom's Online Safety Act, the organisers of the 2025 IF Competition decided to geoblock some of the entries based on their content, such that they could not be played from a network connection appearing to originate inside the UK. (See the organisers' statement.)

This list records the subset of the 85 entries to IF Comp 2025 that were geoblocked in this way.

(As they stood at the end of the competition. I'm not involved in organising IF Comp, and this list was not maintained or endorsed by the organisers.)
