Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should be aware of the game's zombie theme and implied violence. While it offers strong cognitive and motor skill development, monitor screen time and discuss any potentially scary or violent content with your child. The game is single-player, so there are no risks associated with online interactions with strangers.
