LobbyQuest
Be the safety designer of a shared game room (ages 9–14): set the rules — how players talk, who can message whom, what the report button does — then run a synthetic crowd and see what your room lets through. Discover why the safest rooms drop open chat. Fully synthetic; on-device; nothing leaves your device.
#4338ca Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
LobbyQuest has a small crew who each embody one part of a safe shared space (their illustrated storybooks are on the way): Usher the penguin checks your room and shows what got through, Gable is the contact gate that decides who can talk to whom — and gets fooled by a faked age, Reeza is the report button that mutes or reviews, Echo catches the repeat offender, and Blank is the open-typing box no rule can fully guard.
