Where to play HackShield

At home

At home, children learn independently by playing the game

Often right at the kitchen table. They discover how the online world works, what to trust, and how to stay safe. What they learn doesn’t stop there. It sparks conversations with parents, grandparents, and caregivers, who often learn just as much.

In the classroom

At school, children play class quests together

They learn from each other, share experiences, and tackle challenges as a team. Online safety becomes more than something you learn, it becomes something you actively practice and talk about together. Lessons are led by teachers or guest lecturers from the field, bringing real world experience into the classroom.

In the library

In libraries, children step into an interactive AR quest about disinformation

They discover how fake news spreads, what to trust, and how they can make a difference themselves. By moving, exploring, and actively searching for information, learning becomes not only more fun, but also more lasting.
