Search It Up: The Game

GBH Kids Digital is excited to announce the launch of “Search It Up: The Game” to complement their award-winning series of live-action shorts, Search It Up!

Funded by Comcast’s Internet Essentials, “Search It Up: The Game” is designed to help kids 4-7 safely explore and enjoy the world they’re already in, the world of computers, tablets, sharing, and the internet. It offers eight mini-games, each based on a fun, kid-friendly theme. Through lively gameplay, kids learn how to be a digital upstander; how to judge which photos should (and shouldn’t) be shared; how to have healthy boundaries for digital content; which calls and texts to respond to; and, surprisingly, that even cows can be connected to the internet!  

“Search It Up: The Game” was created by Senior Executive Producer & Director of Digital Partnerships Bill Shribman, Senior Digital Producer Gentry Menzel, Senior Developer Jolin Yim, Senior Digital Designer Becca Quigley, Senior Digital Designer Jesse Haley, Associate Digital Designer Jenny DeMarines, Associate Digital Designer Lauren Kane, with support from Business Manager Kate Hewitt. Original music by Geoff Adams.
