My game is directed towards children?

About two weeks ago I made a skill called "What's The Animal". The skill had users guess the animal sound being played. It was similar to the trivia skill template amazon provided on github, but without the multiple choice. However, after submitting the app I got an email saying the following:

"We have reviewed your skill and determined that it may be directed to children in violation of our content guidelines. As a result, your skill has been rejected and will not be published. Please do not resubmit this skill."

I'm not really sure how my game is directed towards children any more than the reindeer trivia game used on github, when the game has several questions about Santa and Rudolph. I would think that my game could be enjoyed by people of all ages because has a degree of difficulty that involves distinguishing several similar sounding animals.

I suppose what is most frustrating is that after spending a few weeks learning about Node.js and how to make a skill, it gets rejected and I'm told not to resubmit the skill. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you for any help in advance.

i'm curious if you could post the skill certification responses you submitted with - i wonder if they might have responded differently if you phrased it differently, i.e., purpose is a charades game for the entire family

I think the only things left to do are either using the contact form, and try to convince the certification team (where I see rather low chances), or publish the code on github, so people can set up the skill themselves. (which very few people will do :( )

I am very sad to hear that story, you have my condolences! :/
