About & Sources

What this site is

Bowman 2 Guides is a fan-run content site about the classic stickman archery game: where to play it, how to play it, its modes, and its Flash-era history. It is not affiliated with the original developers of the game. The original website (bowman2.com) is offline; we link only to official game pages on platforms that host it.

How we source data

• Game facts (free to play, four modes, stickman animation, sequel status) come from the official game descriptions on Addicting Games and Y8.
• Platform availability is confirmed by checking each game page returns a working response — see the play-online page for the current list.
• Community context (nostalgia, remakes, "who remembers" threads) is drawn from public Reddit discussions, labeled as community evidence.
• Anything unconfirmed (developer, release year, exact wind rules, round details) is explicitly labeled Needs verification — we never state it as fact.

Our policies

• No unsafe shortcuts. Search terms like "cheats" or "aimbot" exist, but the game has no cheats — we answer those queries with honest facts and safe-play advice, never fake tools (see the safety page).
• No invented facts. Anything unverified is labeled; we do not publish record numbers, release years or developer names we cannot confirm.
• No mirrors or workarounds. We do not host the game, provide installers, or help bypass network filters — only links to official platforms.
• Updates. Platform links and facts are re-checked on a schedule; each page shows its check date.
