  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

Parents ask…

Is Altitude safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Altitude a rating of 63/100, recommended for ages 7 and up. It offers solid benefits but needs parental guidance on the risks.

What age is Altitude appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Altitude, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play Altitude?

Our session recommendation for Altitude is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.

What are the main risks of Altitude?

While generally low-risk, the competitive multiplayer environment may expose players to competitive toxicity and social comparison. The presence of microtransactions could lead to spending pressure, though likely mild.
