Joe-AI: Escape the Box is a free browser game by Sir GI Joe (sirgijoe.com). This page explains what the game stores and what third parties may do. Last updated: November 2026.
The game uses your browser's local storage (similar to a cookie, but it never leaves your device on its own) to keep: your save game, your sound on/off setting, your achievements, the name you typed for the leaderboard, and a small local high-score list. You can erase all of it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
If you choose to enter a name after escaping, the game sends that name and your run stats (time, Spill number, level, enemies defeated, game version, and a random run ID) to sirgijoe.com so they can appear on the public leaderboard. Please don't use your real full name. To limit spam, the server stores a one-way salted hash of your IP address for rate-limiting; your actual IP address is not stored with your score. You can skip the name entry and nothing is sent. To have an entry removed, contact the site owner through sirgijoe.com.
