ChatLicense is a family app. A smartphone diploma game for kids and teens, with a dashboard for (grand)parents. Connecting generations and helping them to use screens responsibly and resiliently. How are your social skills? Are you ready to outsmart your phone?
ChatLicense combines animation, film, education & interactive quizzes to guide children in dealing with their smartphone. Meanwhile it also helps (grand)parents understand the new generation's online world, through a dashboard with short & snappy information about popular apps and conversation starters. Parents approve desired apps as virtual app store owners, after which kids can unlock them by earning points in ChatCity.
Season 1 is for first time mobile phone users. Real-life scenarios simulate different events and dilemmas, teaching you social skills, how to stay in charge of the device and your sanity. The emphasis is on digital identity. How to behave in a group app, how can a message come across, how and with whom do you share photos? What is real or fake?
From Season 2 to more experienced smartphone users, ChatLicense shows the beauty of the internet but also addresses toxic screen behaviour, shaming, sexting, scamming and addiction. You learn to recognize these situations - so you know what to do when it happens in real life.
Adults use ChatLicense as an always up to date guide. You learn about the online world of your children and how to keep up with them. What games and apps are they using, are there online trends you can join in on or need to be aware of? How do you balance control, freedom and privacy? ChatLicense keeps you informed and works as a conversation starter to enable meaningful family talks.
