Your Well-being Matters

Tread Lightly

CaribooFalls is free entertainment — but even free games can form habits worth examining. This page is our honest commitment to your welfare.

Platform Type

What CaribooFalls Is — and What It Is Not

CaribooFalls is a free social entertainment platform. The WILD TRAIL game uses virtual track points that carry no real-world value. You cannot deposit money, you cannot end the session, and you cannot win anything of tangible value. There is no connection to any real-money gaming operator.

However, the visual format of our game is deliberately designed to resemble experiences that, in other contexts, do carry financial stakes. We acknowledge this openly. Adults playing CaribooFalls should understand that winning or losing virtual track points says nothing about skill, luck, or what would happen on a real-money platform. The two are entirely different things.

Key facts before you play

  • Virtual track points are a score, not a currency. They disappear when you close your browser.
  • Outcomes are generated by a random number algorithm. There is no pattern to predict.
  • The platform does not store play history. It cannot track how long you have been playing.
  • There is no ranking, leaderboard, or social pressure to keep playing.
  • You can stop at any time with no consequence. Nothing is at stake.
Know the Signs

When Free Play Stops Feeling Free

Even without money involved, repetitive play can signal patterns worth examining honestly. Ask yourself the questions below.

Time & Focus

  • Are you playing for longer than you intended?
  • Do you think about the game between sessions?
  • Has playing replaced activities you normally enjoy?
  • Do you lose track of time while playing?

Mood & Emotion

  • Do you feel irritable or restless when not playing?
  • Are you playing to escape stress, boredom, or difficult feelings?
  • Does a “bad session” make you want to immediately play again to recover?
  • Are you hiding how much time you spend on CaribooFalls from others?

Relationships

  • Has someone expressed concern about the time you spend playing?
  • Are you neglecting responsibilities to play?
  • Have you lied about how long you play?

Transfer Risk

  • Has playing CaribooFalls made you curious about real-money versions of similar games?
  • Have you searched for online entertainment platforms or play platforms after playing here?
  • Do you feel like your “luck” here would transfer to real stakes?

If any of these apply, we strongly encourage you to speak to a support professional before exploring real-money platforms.

If you answered yes to two or more questions, we encourage you to step back and speak with one of the organisations below. It costs nothing to ask for guidance.

Healthy Habits

Tips for Keeping Play Fun

⏱️ Set a Time Limit

Decide before you open the game how long you want to play — and honour that decision. A timer on your phone works well.

🔆 Play in Silent Mode

Audio cues in games are designed to reinforce engagement. Muting removes one stimulus that can extend play beyond your intention.

🚨 Take Breaks

After 20 minutes, step away for five. Continuous play without breaks reduces your ability to self-assess how you are feeling.

🚫 Avoid Playing When Stressed

Using entertainment to cope with difficult emotions is common — but it is also one of the conditions under which habit formation accelerates most quickly.

🤝 Tell Someone

Letting a person you trust know that you play CaribooFalls creates a natural check-in mechanism. Social accountability is a powerful moderator.

🚫 Avoid Late-Night Sessions

Decision-making and self-regulation are lower when you are tired. Gaming late at night is associated with longer sessions and reduced awareness of time passing.

Taking a Break

How to Step Away from CaribooFalls

Because CaribooFalls requires no account and stores no personal information, there is no formal self-exclusion registry as you would find on a licensed gambling platform. To stop using CaribooFalls:

  1. Simply close the browser tab and do not return to the URL.
  2. If you find the site reappearing in your browser history, you can delete your browsing history or use your browser’s site blocking feature.
  3. On Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → add edictwell.com to “Block”.
  4. On Safari: Preferences → Websites → Content Blockers, or use Screen Time restrictions.
  5. Free blockers such as Cold Turkey or Freedom allow you to block specific domains.

If you are finding it difficult to stop returning to the site on your own, please reach out to one of the support organisations listed on this page. A counsellor can help you explore why the site is drawing you back and provide strategies that go beyond a simple block.
