Caught in the web

Educational video game

In my diploma project, Caught in the Net, I developed an educational video game for children aged 8–10. The project aims to raise awareness about the dangers of the online environment and promote safe internet use. The game uses a playful, story-driven approach to help children recognize and navigate issues such as cyberbullying, communication with strangers, and the protection of personal information. The story takes place in an underwater world, where players progress through a series of narrative-based minigames. Each activity is introduced by short animated sequences, making the learning process engaging and accessible. During development, I consulted both educators and psychologists. The game was tested in real classroom settings with elementary school students during digital literacy lessons. The feedback confirmed that the game can serve as an effective tool for the playful, collaborative exploration of sensitive online topics.
