 History 

 Shutdown hoax 
Rumors began spreading in mid-2019 that Cool Math Games was going to shut down in 2020 due to Adobe Flash Player no longer being used. These rumors caused a petition to be created on Change.org to stop the website from shutting down and it got about 100,000 signatures.Harbison, Cammy (2019-06-03). Haasch, Palmer (2019-06-05).  However, Cool Math Games said that the website would not be shutting down and they would be getting new HTML5 games and making old Flash games become HTML5 after Adobe Flash reached its end-of-life in 2020. The website started to use emulators like Ruffle to keep using and playing old flash games.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cool Math Games became more popular, being played by students while in lockdown and self-isolating. Cool Math Games' Alexa ranking went up a lot because of this.
