Play Overview
Krunker (Krunker.io and Krunker Free) is a shooting game where you compete against online opponents on various maps. As you level up you unlock weapons that help you in the game. It's unusual because you play it in any web browser with no need to download anything.
There are different modes: Free for all, Teams, Hide and Seek, Capture the Flag, Prop Hunt, King of the Hill, Parkour and others. This adds considerable variety to the experience. Each round is different through randomly generated options: the maps, game mode and type of game. Players vote for their preferred combination.
Alternatively, you can create your own server and set up custom games to play with friends. This allows you to control who plays, the number of players, modes, lives and even adjust the physics of the world or specify only super-accurate headshots will kill.
It has simple, Minecraft-like blocky graphics, so it can run smoothly on even older computers. It offers a quick and free route into online shooting games like Phantom Forces the Roblox game. Like these games, it continues to evolve as the developer updates maps, fixes bugs and introduces new weapons.
Krunker has become popular with thousands of registered players. There is no official iOS or Android Krunker app. Parents should be aware that there are, however, similar or "fake" versions of Krunker iOS and Krunker Android. The best way to access Krunker on Mobile is via Krunker.io on a supported web browser (the best performance is Chrome) on your mobile device.

Skill Level
9+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it's important for parents and guardians to consider the maturity required to process the game content. It's also important to ensure children understand in-game purchases and have spending limits set-up. Krunker is readily accessible to lots of players as you can play in a browser. It requires fast reactions, but its simple graphics mean it’s enjoyed by a younger set of players than the more realistic shooting games.
Account Rating

Costs
You can only play this on older systems (Web Browser) but can usually find it second hand on eBay.
There's a complex and high-cost trading system in the game for guns, skins and other items. These cosmetic items do not grant a competitive advantage when playing. As well as purchasing or trading these items there are paid Spin Wheels that award items of varying rarity. These are offered to the player every time the game ends. There is a Premium pass that gives you extra features: a custom display name, profile picture, custom skins, giveaways, 16-player lobbies and more.
You purchase the game currency, Krunker Coins via a PayPal transaction that ranges from 300 ($0.99) to 60,000 ($99.99).
You can buy and sell items and currency on the Krunker Market with online players for other items of various prices and rarities. You are charged for listing items in the marketplace. Super rare items appear in the marketplace for up to 400,000 Krunker Coins. At the time of writing this would translate to over $650.
The game also features adverts that pop-up while playing. You can disable voice chat in the settings although this can be turned back on by the player at any time.
It's important to set up your accounts and devices appropriately. More information is on our Financial Resources page.
