Terms of use

These are the Squirm.io terms of use: the rules for playing. By playing, you agree to them. Last updated 15 September 2026.

Who we are

Squirm.io is run by Squirm.io in the United Kingdom; "we" and "us" means Squirm.io. These terms cover the game on squirm.io, on games websites such as CrazyGames, and in our apps. How we use information is in our privacy policy. Questions: [email protected].

Age

Squirm.io is for all ages. If you are under 13, please ask a parent or carer before you play. Parents and carers are responsible for their children's use of the game.

A free game, in beta

• Squirm.io is free to play.
• It is in beta: it is still being built, and things may break, change or disappear.
• We may change the game, reset leaderboards, take it offline for a while, or stop it. We'll try to give notice, but can't always promise to.
• The game is provided "as is". We work hard to keep it running well, but can't promise it will always be available, free of bugs or free of lag.

Play fair

Squirm.io is only fun if everyone plays by the same rules. Don't:

• use cheats, hacks, modified versions of the game, or tools that give you an unfair advantage;
• use scripts or programs that play for you;
• use bugs or glitches on purpose to get ahead (tell us about them instead);
• try to overload, attack, slow down or break into our servers;
• get onto a leaderboard or the Hall of Fame any way other than playing;
• bully, threaten or harass other players, including through your nickname.

If you break these rules, we may disconnect or block you, remove your name from the leaderboards, reset your progress or take away what you have unlocked, or take other steps to protect other players. Our server also disconnects a device that sends far too many messages at once.

Nicknames

Your nickname is shown to everyone. It must not be rude, hateful, sexual or threatening; pretend to be someone else (another player, a famous person, a streamer or one of our team); include your real name or other personal details (for your own safety); or advertise anything or include web addresses. Our server replaces names containing rude words with "Worm", and we may rename or remove any name, or any Hall of Fame entry, that we think breaks these rules, without warning. Nobody owns a nickname: two players can use the same one.

Leaderboards and the Hall of Fame

The live leaderboard and the all-time Hall of Fame are public. We may remove entries that break these rules or that someone asks us to remove, and we may reset the boards. A place on a leaderboard has no value and can't be claimed or transferred.

Your account, levels, Nuggets and unlocks

• On our website your progress is saved to a guest account, which lives in the browser you play in: clear your browser data, change device or use private browsing and you'll start a new one, and we can't move the old one for you. Signing in with Google, Apple or Discord, once it's available, keeps your progress on every device.
• You can delete your account at any time with Erase in the game's settings. It can't be undone.
• Your level comes from the games you play. Nuggets are gold you collect in the arena; you can spend them on looks such as backgrounds.
• Skins, backgrounds and other looks only change how things look. They never make your worm stronger.
• Nothing in Squirm.io can be bought with real money today. Nuggets, levels and unlocks have no cash value, and can't be sold, swapped, traded, transferred to another player or exchanged for anything. Because nothing is paid for, nothing can be refunded.
• We may change, rebalance or remove items, prices, levels and Nuggets, and we may take them from anyone who breaks these rules.
• On games websites, your progress is saved in your browser only.

Adverts

On our website and in our apps, ads are always your choice: for example, you might choose to watch a video for a second life. You never have to watch an ad to play. On games websites, that website decides which ads appear, which can include ads between games. If an ad doesn't finish, the reward isn't given.

Games websites and app stores

If you play on a games website, or get our app from the App Store or Google Play, that website's or store's own terms also apply. Where theirs and ours disagree about their website or store, theirs win.

Our game and content

The Squirm.io name, logo, game and artwork belong to us; the music and sound effects are other people's work, released for anyone to use (see our credits). You're welcome to play, share links, stream, and make and post videos of the game. Don't copy, sell or republish the game itself, or pass it off as yours.

Our responsibility to you

Squirm.io is free and in beta, so we can't accept responsibility for things like lost progress, lost Hall of Fame places, or the game being unavailable. Nothing in these terms takes away your legal rights as a consumer, or limits our responsibility where the law says it can't be limited.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the game changes. When we do, we change the date at the top, and if a change is important we'll say so in the game, under the bell. If you keep playing after a change, you're agreeing to the new terms.

The law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland or elsewhere, you may also be able to bring a claim in your local courts.
