HOW TO USE IT

Read the large story text with your child. The smaller grown-up note explains the practical safeguard behind that moment.

A question in the game

Leo raced a bright green dinosaur around Dino Dash while Dad made lunch nearby. A player called MegaMystery99 sent a message: Which school do you go to? Leo knew the answer and almost typed it.

Private clues stay private

JB put on his detective hat. Your name, school, home, town and where you are right now are private clues, he said. Friendly players do not need those clues to race dinosaurs. Leo took his hands away from the keyboard.

Stop, block and tell

Leo did not reply. He called Dad over and showed him the message. Dad thanked Leo for stopping. Together they saved the message, blocked the account and used the game's report button. JB awarded Leo a bright detective badge.

Fun without the mystery

What if the player was nice? Leo asked. Dad explained that a game name cannot prove who someone is. Leo returned to a family-only race and kept his private clues safely tucked away. JB still lost, but claimed his tail slowed him down.

YOUR BRIGHT BUTTON

STOP. BLOCK. TELL.

Remember

Do not answer personal questions in a game. Stop, block the contact and tell a trusted grown-up.

Talk about it

  • Which clues about you should stay private?
  • What could you do if a friendly player asked where you live?

Try it together

Name three private clues, then find the block and report controls in one game your child uses.

PARENT SETUP
  1. Use the child's real age and the strongest suitable privacy setting.
  2. Limit chat and friend requests to people the child genuinely knows where possible.
  3. Agree that personal questions are always brought to a trusted adult.
