"Just one more round"
For parents: Tim, 10, has been on Fortnite for two hours. Headphones on, mic live. You walk in and hear an adult male voice through the headset: "Hey buddy, are you home alone?"
Tim doesn't react. He didn't even notice — he's deep in the game.
For kids: Imagine you're gaming with your online friends. Someone joins the squad that you don't know. They're chill, pretty good at the game, laugh at your jokes. After an hour, they ask: "How old are you, actually? And where do you live?"
Feel that little flip in your stomach? Good. That's the feeling to always listen to.
For everyone: Gaming is fun. Gaming connects people. For many kids it's the most important thing in their day — and that's okay. But in every big online game, there are also adults who deliberately seek out kids. This module shows you: how to get the good parts — and how to see the bad parts coming.
The core message: gaming isn't the problem. Unsupervised gaming with strangers is.
