Rating Guideline
About IGRS
Indie Game Rating System, or IGRS is a new and only way for indie game makers to give their game an age rating for free and quickly. Unlike Pegi or ESRB, their are two ways you can get your game rated, it will only take a day to a week to get your game rated, and instead of paying thousands of dollars to get your game rated, our solution is free, works on all game platforms and also works universally. We are now working on allowing the games we rate to be sold in IGRS Certfied Stores.
Developer & Publisher Info
As a publisher of video game products, you may wish to alert your audience of possibly offensive materials in your game, especially in the world of downloadable entertainment. Other rating systems exist but can cost thousands of dollars and take significant time for approval.
Now comes the Indie Game Rating System (IGRS); the absolutely free rating system designed for the high-speed, global world of downloadable entertainment. IRGS is free to use for any publisher, developer, or distributor to rate their video game product. Website, advertisements, game box, printed materials, and any other applicable medium are suitable for rating placement! IGRS features a highly readable and easy to understand design that was created from the ground up to help the viewer quickly identify particular areas of possibly offensive material that are most important to them.
If you're ready to get started, you have two options:
| The Faster Way This method will tell you to complete a survey and we will tell you in a day to a couple of days what the game's rating is.We won't test out the game, for that you will need to use The Better Way. Also, the rating wont be allowed to be used on games that cost money and games that are sold in stores. You'll have to do it the The Better Way for that. Go tohttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3DPRHS2 to complete the survey. |
The Better Way With this method, you will have to write a summary of the game and submit the game to us for reviewing. But, there is an advantage: flexibility. You'll have the option to put the rating on games that cost money and sell the game in stores. Instead of just giving you the rating, we will also write a summary about your game.. To submit the game, go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NZY8GF7 |
