Interland Is Awesome!

 Introduction
Over this past week, I have been playing this online game created by Google that teaches the user what a digital citizenship is in and how most importantly to become internet safe. This game is called 'Interland' and my task was to analyze this game and how it helps us learn about being internet safe.

Reflection

I really wouldn't expect to have this make fun playing a game like the Interland experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone how hasn't given it a go, and it's a great learning experience.There were four different levels included in the game design. There are four main levels which are: Reality river, Mindful Mountain, Tower of Treasure, and Kind Kingdom. The first level is Kind Kingdom. Kind Kingdom is based off Blocking cyber bullies, and trap them behind bars so they can’t get to the victim that the bully can’t get to them. You also hand out positive content to the people that get/have been bullied. You also get to jump from platform to platform to get to your destination. In Mindful Mountain you share information with friends on social media, the info that is being sent is private and personal stuff which is you’ve got to think twice whether to post it or not. The design is to find correct patterns and pathways. The third level is a level called Tower of Treasure where the aim of the game is to run in a temple-run like a platform whilst collecting different letters/symbols on a keyboard to form a hacker-proof password. To start off, you create a simple password but as the levels progress, you add in capital letters and randomized symbols to make it virtually unguessable. Last but not least is the fourth level which is  Reality River. Reality River is basically a level where the player is set in a river trying to cross it. To cross the river the player must answer the questions correctly in order to move up a step. The questions vary but mainly focus on Online Phishing and scam/fake emails. The player is shown many possible answers to the question but only one of the answers are correct.
