CyberSafe

CyberSafe is an educational board game designed to teach young people how to navigate the dangerous waters of the Internet, including wireless devices such as cell phones, PDA's, and MP3 players. Major topics covered include Internet predators, Internet bullying, scams, viruses, and the practice of pro-social Internet behavior.

The game board represents cyberspace, with icons for search, spam, chat, cell phones, and other topics. Players begin at “Log in” and travel around cyberspace answering questions, winning play money for correct answers, and, if they're lucky, winning extra money with the "on-line lottery." The game box also includes tips for parents and age appropriate Internet safety pledges, all of which are reproducible.

There are four decks of cards:
 
Detective Cards pose mysteries that the players have to solve.
True-False Cards pose true or false questions.
Decision Cards are multiple choice questions.
Agree or Disagree Cards are open ended questions in which a second player gets a chance to agree or disagree with the first player's answer.
