⚠️ Some school networks block external links by default.

If you receive a message that the game is blocked, please ask your IT department to whitelist the URL.

In most cases, they only need to whitelist:

learn.laketjacademy.com

This usually enables access for all games from the site.

Some schools with stricter settings may request the specific game URL as well.
If they ask for that, please send me a message and I’m happy to help.
