The Case of the Cyber Criminal

This was a fun, free, engaging game you can play on any device. I played on my laptop but can definitely see it being played on one-to-one devices. "A techie spy and his cunning crew are out to get your personal information. Stop them cold by proving you're ready to protect yourself online". It teaches younger students how to be safe online. I would say this game is appropriate for middle-high schoolers. I do not think children younger than 10-11 years old would be able to fully understand the language and vocabulary used in the questions. This would be a good game to play within the first week of school in any subject class. It can be included in the library's orientation class as well. It was challenging, made you think, introduced/refreshed some virus/spyware, and kept me on my toes. I think this would be a great starting point for being a responsible digital citizen!
