The Problem
The dangers our children face today are increasing at an alarming rate – especially online. And while kids today participate in regular active shooter drills at school, only the tiniest fraction get any body safety training.
Kids are oblivious. Parents are scared and overwhelmed. And too often, they don't know where to turn for help.
Our Solution
The Heroic Kids Game is an interactive digital safety game that helps children 5 to 14 build confidence, healthy boundaries, emotional resilience, communication skills, and the ability to respond to real-life challenges through engaging, age-appropriate stories and interactive decision-making.
Children practice trusting their intuition, setting boundaries, making sound decisions, speaking up, and asking for help — building "mental muscle memories" that stick long after the game is over.
The game features:
An immersive world of wise, friendly animal guardians who guide children through skill-building adventures
Age-appropriate content for every stage from kindergarten through 8th grade
A Parent Portal with real-time progress tracking, conversation guides, a resource library, and monthly live Q&A calls with CJ Scarlet, aka “Grandma CJ”
The game never teaches through fear; it teaches through confidence. No scary language. No overwhelming statistics. Just your child practicing the skills they need in a magical world designed to make learning feel like an adventure.
Through the game, kids practice:
Trusting their intuition
Choosing healthy relationships
Setting boundaries and speaking up
Emotional resilience and mental wellness
Asking trusted adults for help
The point of the game is to help kids develop “mental muscle memories” so they know how to recognize potential body safety risks, make healthy choices, and seek support from trusted adults when they need it.
The Animal Guardians
In the game, children will be supported by an entire forest of wise, warm, and wonderfully funny animal guardians who guide them through every skill and every scenario. They're the kind of teachers every kid wishes they had — the ones who make hard things feel manageable.
Because the best lessons are the ones that feel like adventures.
For Older Teens
To ensure older teens also have the information and skills they need to navigate the world safely, we’ve partnered with SafeBAE to offer them a safe, confidential space where they can learn about online and real world dangers and how to handle them.
SafeBAE is the only survivor-founded, youth-led organization working to end sexual violence among middle and high school students nationwide. They equip young people with the tools to prevent harm, support their peers, and drive generational culture change — strengthening mental health, uplifting youth leadership, and creating safer school communities.
Through the Parent Portal, caregivers will learn how to encourage their teens (15 to 18) to turn to SafeBAE for advice and support.
The Parent Portal
Heroic Parents aren't reactive — they're intentional, proactive, and confident, knowing their kids can handle themselves in the moments when they're not standing right beside them.
Inside the Parent Portal, caregivers will find:
Real-time progress tracking, so they always know where their child is in the game
Conversation guides and handouts to keep the learning going at home
Videos, resources, and a library that grows with their families
Advice from Grandma CJ about how to build a closer, stronger bond with their kids so they come to the parents first with questions and concerns about their safety
Monthly live Q&A calls with Grandma CJ and other experts
