☺☺☺☺☺ GAMEPLAY ☺☺☺☺☺

.

Stage ONE: Tap -n- Fly 

.

First you will need to fly over, under, and around obstacles to get to your young charge when you recognize abusive behavior! 

.

Will you be flying at night or during the day? Will it be in clear weather or through the rain? Guess what ... ? It depends on the time of day and the weather where YOU are because The Guardian dynamically updates based on your location, time of day, and current weather! 

.

Will a rainy day game be different than playing with clear skies at night???

.

Stage TWO: Answer the Quiz

.

Once you get to your young charge you need to alert them to the abuse - but you can only do this if you are able to accurately identify the type of abuse involved! How much do you know about controlling behavior? Or about alcohol abuse? Digital abuse? Sexting? To help your teen you will need to be able to identify all of these warning signs of an abusive relationship - and many more!

.

Stage THREE: Rotate to Gain Confidence and Support

.

After successfully addressing three types of abuse for your teen it is time to encourage them to seek help - using your smartphone or tablet you will be tilt-ing them in the right direction!

.

When you have successfully helped one of your teens you aren't finished - you have a total of three teens that need your help so there's no time to rest on your wings! Can you help all three of your young people and earn your golden wings?
