Terms of Service
Last updated 11 October 2026
These terms cover your use of Barnyard Breakroom: the website at barnyardbreakroom.com, its daily stories, the Hen Pecks and Biscuit and Marshmallow puzzles, and those puzzles' Discord apps. By using any of them, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use them.
In short: it's a free hobby site, so there are no guarantees. Be 13 or older to sign in or play in Discord, play fair, and don't spam or disrupt anything. The story summaries are made with AI and can contain mistakes.
What it is
Barnyard Breakroom is a free hobby project run by one person. It's provided as it is, without payments, prizes or any guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or unchanged. Features, puzzles and the Discord apps may change or stop at any time.
Who can use it
Anyone can read the stories and play on the website. To create an account or play in Discord, you must be at least 13, or the minimum age to use Discord in your country if that's higher. In Discord, you must also follow Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Playing fair
Please don't:
- send made-up results or tamper with the games or their scores;
- try to access other players' accounts or data, or get around the site's security;
- overload or disrupt the website, the Discord apps or the services they run on, including with automated requests;
- use the Discord apps to spam channels or harass other people.
We may remove results, or block an account or Discord user from the games, if these terms are broken.
Your account
You're responsible for keeping access to your email or Google account safe, since that's how you sign in. You can stop using Barnyard Breakroom at any time and ask us to delete your information, as described in the Privacy Policy.
The stories and pictures
Each daily story is a short summary of a public news article, written and painted with the help of an AI model (Anthropic's Claude), and links back to the original article. Summaries can contain mistakes, so check the original article for the full and accurate story. The original articles belong to their publishers.
The site's games, pictures and design belong to Barnyard Breakroom. You're welcome to share your results, screenshots and links to the site, but please don't copy the site or its puzzles to run elsewhere.
Discord
When you play in Discord, your name and result are posted in the channel where you started the game, and included in that channel's daily recap. The Discord apps are not made or endorsed by Discord.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Barnyard Breakroom and the person who runs it aren't liable for any loss or damage from using, or being unable to use, the site, the games or the Discord apps, including lost stats or streaks. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law that can't be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Barnyard Breakroom after that means you accept the new terms.
