The problem it solves
Students are unable to access games during free computer time at school due to network restrictions. Existing solutions fail because they often get blocked or do not provide a comprehensive selection of games that are both entertaining and accessible.
How it makes money
Ad-supported website with potential premium subscriptions for an ad-free experience.
Skills you need

The market, and why this works now
Recent changes in school network policies are allowing for more lenient access to educational resources, creating an opportunity for a platform that offers unblocked games. Partnering with specific online communities like Reddit's r/education could provide initial users while generating ad revenue. A potential risk involves the need for ongoing updates to circumvent new restrictions, which may require significant development resources and time to maintain user accessibility.
