🎮 What is this?

You are about to play through a real online gaming scenario. You will chat with friends — and two players you do not know.

One unknown player is just another kid. The other is a online predator pretending to be friendly. Your job is to recognize the warning signs and use the Stop & Report button.

This neuroscience-based experience prepares kids for the real online world by building memory through doing, not just reading.

🛑 The Stop & Report Button

A red STOP & REPORT button is always visible. In real life this sends an anonymous report to law enforcement. The online predator cannot see you reported them.

⭐ Scoring & Badge

Every choice is scored. You need 10 out of 10 correct to earn your Online Safety Detective Badge. Miss one and you can replay — you can do it!

🧠 What You Learned
👥
Normal vs. predator behavior looks similar at first.Gifts, personal questions, and private contact requests are predator tactics — not normal gaming behavior.
🎁
Gifts that single you out create fake "special" bonds.When a stranger gives only you a gift, they are making you feel like you owe them something.
🔐
"Let's go somewhere private" is always a red flag.Online predators move you away from friends and moderation so no one can see what they are doing.
🍍
Unexpected images are a predator tactic.It checks your reaction and tries to normalize inappropriate content. You are NEVER overreacting.
📸
No one should ever ask you to take photos privately.Asking you to hide from a trusted adult is always a serious red flag.
🔑
No gift ever requires your passcode or password.Asking for your account password is always a scam. No exceptions.
🏠
"Are you home alone?" is a danger question.Never tell a stranger online when you are home alone or unsupervised.
🌳
Never share your location or agree to meet.Asking to meet at a nearby park is the most serious escalation. The answer is always no — tell an adult immediately.
💪
Trust your gut — every single time.If something feels off, that feeling is right. Block, screenshot, and tell a trusted adult.
🛑 What To Do In Real Life
🚫Step 1 — Block immediately
  • Go to their profile and tap Block — no explanation needed.
  • Blocking stops contact but keeps the chat history as evidence.
📱Step 2 — Screenshot before closing
  • Press Power + Volume Down on most devices.
  • Capture username, messages, and any images sent.
  • If an inappropriate image was sent: screenshot and report. You are not in trouble — the sender is.
👨‍👩‍👧Step 3 — Tell a trusted adult right away
  • Show a parent, guardian, or teacher the screenshots.
  • You will NOT be in trouble. Online predators count on your silence — breaking it protects you and other kids.
🚔Step 4 — Report to law enforcement
