Terms of use
Last updated 15 November 2026. This is a plain-English first version and will be reviewed by a lawyer before any paid features, prizes or ads are introduced.
The short version. Kannada Kali is free. Play it, share it and learn from it. Be kind with your player name, don't cheat or attack the game, and remember it's a light-hearted learning game, not an official dictionary. If something is wrong or hurtful, tell us and we'll fix it.

1. Who we are
Kannada Kali (ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಲಿ) is a free browser game that teaches everyday Kannada, published by Bhasha at bhasha.games/kannada. "We" and "us" mean Bhasha. "You" means anyone who plays the game or visits these pages.
2. Agreeing to these terms
By playing or using the site you agree to these terms and to our privacy note. If you don't agree, please don't use the game. These terms apply whether you play as a guest or sign in.
3. Children and families
- The game is made to be suitable for all ages and can be played without an account.
- Signing in stores some personal data (see the privacy note). If you are under 18, please sign in only with the permission and involvement of a parent or guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf.
- Parents can ask us at any time to delete a child's account data through the contact page.
4. Your account
- Sign-in is optional and uses your Google account. Keep that account secure; anything done through it on Kannada Kali is treated as done by you.
- One person, one account. Don't sign in as someone else or share an account to boost scores.
- You can stop playing at any time and ask us to delete your data.
5. Player names and fair play
Player names appear on public leaderboards, so please choose one that is safe for a family audience. Don't use a name that:
- is abusive, sexual, hateful or insulting, or targets any person, community, caste, region, religion, gender or language;
- pretends to be another person, a public figure, an official body or Kannada Kali staff;
- contains a phone number, email, address, link or advertising.
We may change or hide any name, without notice, if we think it breaks these rules. If you don't pick a name, we call you "Kannadada Kanda" (child of Kannada).
Please play fair. Don't use bots, scripts, modified game files, automated or fake runs, multiple accounts or bugs to raise your score or referral count, and don't try to overload, hack, scrape or interfere with the game or its servers. The built-in cheat codes are part of the fun, and runs that use them simply don't count towards leaderboards. If you find a bug or security problem, please report it instead of using it; we're grateful for reports.
6. Leaderboards, rewards and share links
- Scores are checked by our server. We may remove scores, runs or referral counts that look wrong, and we may reset or change leaderboards, badges and titles at any time.
- Leaderboards, badges and titles have no money value and can't be sold or transferred. Any prize, contest or sponsored reward will have its own rules, published before it starts.
- Share links help friends find the game. Please share them with people you know and don't spam groups, comments or strangers with them.
- The city shown on leaderboards is estimated from your network and may be wrong.
7. Learning content
We work hard to get every word, pronunciation, meaning and tip right, and we ask native speakers to check them, but mistakes can happen. Phrases are simplified for beginners, and spoken Kannada varies from place to place. The game is not a certified course, an official translation or a substitute for professional advice. Please don't rely on it in emergencies, legal, medical or official situations. Spotted an error? Tell us.
8. Respect and cultural content
Characters, animals, vehicles, places, festivals, colours and jokes in the game are fictional and made for fun and learning. They are not meant to hurt or disrespect any person, profession, community, region, language or religion. Read more in Just for fun, with respect for all.
Kannada Kali is independent. It is not connected with, sponsored or endorsed by any government, transport operator (such as BMTC, KSRTC or BMRCL), film, brand or organisation that it mentions. Names of places, services and brands belong to their owners and are used only to describe them. Game actions like jumping on enemies or dodging traffic are arcade play: please don't try them in real life, and always follow road safety rules.
9. What belongs to us, and what you may do
The game, its code, pixel art, characters, music, sounds, voice clips, phrase lists, texts and the Kannada Kali and Bhasha names and logos belong to Bhasha or to people who have licensed them to us. Kannada words themselves belong to everyone; our particular selection, writing and presentation of them is ours.
- You may play for personal, non-commercial use; share links; post screenshots, clips and reviews of your own play, with a mention of Kannada Kali; and use the game free of charge in classrooms, community groups and workplaces to help people learn Kannada.
- Please don't copy, republish or sell the game or its art, sounds or phrase lists; build a copy or a paid product from it; remove our credits; or train AI systems on our phrase lists or voice clips without our written permission. Search engines and AI assistants are welcome to read our public pages to recommend and link to the game.
10. Your feedback
If you send us suggestions, corrections or phrases, you allow us to use them to improve the game without owing you payment. We're happy to credit you if you ask. Please don't send anything confidential.
11. Other services we use
The game relies on services run by others, including Google (sign-in and analytics), Supabase (accounts and leaderboards), Cloudflare (hosting and spam protection) and WhatsApp or your phone's share menu when you share. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to how you use them. We may later show clearly marked ads or sponsor messages, and we will update these terms and the privacy note before we do.
12. Changes to the game and these terms
The game is a work in progress. We may add, change or remove levels, features and words, or pause the service, at any time. We may update these terms; the date at the top will change, and for important changes we'll show a note in the game. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the updated terms.
13. No guarantees and limits of liability
Kannada Kali is provided free, "as is" and "as available". We don't promise it will always work, be error-free or keep your progress forever. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of progress, scores or data, arising from your use of the game. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under law that can't be limited.
We may suspend or block access for anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms or misuses the game.
14. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. If a disagreement can't be settled by talking to us first, the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka will have jurisdiction.
15. Questions and complaints
For questions, corrections, complaints about content or names, data requests or anything that feels hurtful, write to us through the contact page. We aim to reply within 72 hours and to resolve complaints within 15 days.
