Understanding Your Current Challenge
Preparing age rating submissions feels overwhelming when you're unfamiliar with the process. The documentation requirements are extensive, the terminology is specialized, and you're uncertain whether you're disclosing content appropriately or providing too much detail in the wrong format.
Perhaps you've heard stories of games receiving unexpected ratings that limited their audience reach, or you've experienced delays because rating bodies requested additional information that should have been included initially. The stakes feel high because the rating directly affects who can purchase and play your game.
You might worry about under-disclosing content and facing problems later, or over-disclosing and receiving a more restrictive rating than necessary. Finding the right balance requires understanding how rating bodies evaluate content, which isn't always intuitive for first-time submitters.
What's really holding you back is the concern that mishandling the rating process could delay your launch, limit your audience, or create compliance issues. You need someone who understands these systems and can guide you through them effectively.
This hesitation is completely reasonable. Age rating systems have specific expectations and conventions that aren't immediately obvious to developers focused on creating games rather than navigating administrative processes. The good news is that with proper guidance, the submission process becomes much more manageable.
Our Approach to Age Rating Preparation
We prepare rating submissions that satisfy rating body requirements while representing your game accurately, reducing the likelihood of unexpected outcomes.
Comprehensive Content Review
We thoroughly review your game to identify all content elements that rating bodies consider: violence, language, sexual content, substance use, gambling elements, and more. This review ensures nothing relevant gets overlooked.
By examining your game systematically, we create documentation that accurately reflects its content without surprises during the rating process.
Appropriate Disclosure Level
We provide context and explanation for content elements in ways that help rating bodies understand your game accurately. This means disclosing what's relevant without overwhelming reviewers with unnecessary detail.
The goal is clarity and completeness that satisfies requirements while presenting your game fairly within the rating system's framework.
Format and Documentation Standards
Each rating body has specific formatting and documentation preferences. We prepare submissions according to these standards, including required screenshots, video captures, and supporting materials organized appropriately.
Proper formatting reduces back-and-forth communication with rating bodies and helps ensure timely processing of your submission.
Regional Body Expertise
Different regions have different rating systems with varying standards and processes. We prepare submissions appropriate for ESRB in North America, PEGI in Europe, or regional bodies depending on your target markets.
This regional awareness ensures your documentation meets the specific expectations of each rating system you're working with.
Our preparation approach comes from experience with rating submissions across different game types and content levels, understanding what rating bodies look for and how to present games effectively within their frameworks.
What Working Together Looks Like
The preparation process is systematic and thorough, designed to gather all necessary information without consuming excessive time from your team.
Initial Information Gathering
We discuss your game, target markets, and intended rating. You provide access to the game or comprehensive information about its content, mechanics, and systems.
Content Analysis and Documentation
We systematically review your game to identify all content elements relevant to rating decisions. This analysis produces a comprehensive content inventory organized by rating category.
Submission Package Preparation
We create the complete submission package including forms, content disclosures, supporting materials, and any required screenshots or video captures, formatted according to rating body specifications.
Review and Explanation
Before submission, we review the complete package with you, explaining what's been disclosed and why. You have the opportunity to ask questions and request adjustments if needed.
Submission and Support
We provide guidance on submitting the package to the appropriate rating body and remain available to answer questions if the rating body requests clarification or additional information.
Throughout this process, you'll feel informed and prepared. We explain what we're documenting and why, ensuring you understand how your game is being presented to rating bodies and what to expect from the outcome.

The Value You Receive

The pricing reflects the specialized knowledge required to navigate rating systems effectively and the time needed to review games thoroughly and prepare comprehensive documentation. If you need ratings from multiple bodies, we prepare each submission for the per-rating fee.
Multiple Rating Needs?
If your game requires ratings from multiple bodies for different markets, we prepare each submission individually. The knowledge gained from preparing one rating often streamlines subsequent submissions, though each rating body has unique requirements.
How This Approach Works
Methodology Effectiveness
Age rating preparation requires understanding what each rating body considers relevant and how they evaluate different content types. Our systematic review process ensures comprehensive coverage of all content elements that influence rating decisions.
By examining games through the lens of rating criteria, we identify and document content appropriately, reducing the likelihood of oversight or misrepresentation that could lead to unexpected outcomes.
Results Framework
Successful age rating preparation means receiving a rating that accurately reflects your game's content without unexpected surprises. We evaluate success through:
- • Submission acceptance without requests for extensive additional information
- • Rating outcomes that align with your expectations based on game content
- • Timely processing without delays from incomplete documentation
- • Your confidence and clarity about the rating process and outcome
Progress Tracking
The preparation process moves through clear stages: content review, documentation creation, package assembly, and your review. At each stage, you understand what's being prepared and why.
This transparency ensures you're never uncertain about the submission contents or how your game is being presented to rating bodies.
Realistic Timeline
Rating preparation typically requires 1-2 weeks for content review and documentation, plus your review time before submission. The actual rating decision timeline is controlled by the rating body and varies by organization.
We provide realistic expectations about both our preparation time and typical rating body processing periods, ensuring you can plan your launch timeline appropriately.
Our preparation approach comes from experience with rating submissions across different content levels and game types.
Each submission teaches us more about how rating bodies evaluate content and what documentation approaches work most effectively.
Our Commitment to You
We're committed to preparing rating submissions that accurately represent your game and satisfy rating body requirements. This means thorough content review, comprehensive documentation, and clear communication about what's being submitted and why.
If rating bodies request clarification or additional information, we remain available to help you respond appropriately and provide context for your game's content.
Satisfaction Commitment
We provide opportunities for you to review and understand the submission documentation before it's sent. If you have concerns about how content is being presented, we discuss adjustments within the constraints of rating body requirements.
Your understanding and confidence in the submission matters to us, and we take time to ensure you're comfortable with what's being submitted.
