Online gaming is an adventure — full of creativity, connection, and opportunities to learn. But like any journey, it helps to have a map. Ready, Set, Game—developed in partnership with Roblox—is a free resource designed to help parents and caregivers guide children, tweens, and teens toward safe, balanced, and meaningful gaming experiences.

Teens from NAMLE and Roblox teamed up to share their best advice for staying safe and empowered online. Through short, creative videos, they explore how media literacy skills can help Roblox users protect their privacy, make smart choices, and build positive connections.
