About the Game:
Players take on the role of a friendly neighbourhood hacker, helping friends and family recover access to their accounts by uncovering personal details from publicly available social media content. The game highlights the dangers of weak passwords, oversharing, and careless digital habits — all while staying fun and approachable for kids with internet access.
