In today’s world, kids are spending more and more time in online multiplayer games, where they team up with strangers to complete missions and win challenges. But while gaming is fun, it also opens the door to risks—children can unknowingly interact with bad actors who prey on their innocence and trust. Instead of taking the joy of gaming away from them, KidsPlaySafer empowers children to navigate these online environments safely. We’re building a tool to help kids recognize the potential dangers lurking in online games and give them the skills they need to stay protected. By creating a generation of online-savvy kids, we’re not just keeping them safe—we’re ensuring they can enjoy the games they love, while staying one step ahead of potential threats.
Our tool offers interactive learning experiences that teach kids what to watch out for in online games. Through engaging quizzes and role-play scenarios, kids learn to spot red flags, identify risky situations, and make smart choices—like knowing when to accept friend requests and how to deal with suspicious behavior. Parents are also included in the journey, with resources that help them guide their kids to safe online habits. KidsPlaySafer doesn’t just talk about safety—it turns lessons into actions kids can take into the gaming world.
