Other games, like Headliner, put the player in charge of information so they can see the consequences first hand of its misuse. Some of the games, like Thousand Threads, either put them in a world where what people say and believe impacts the other characters.

Childnet are also part of the UK Safer Internet Centre and organise Safer Internet Day in the UK every February. They believe that the internet is a wonderfully positive tool for children and young people. Childnet International is an online safety charity working with others to help make the internet a great and safe place for children and young people. We've worked with Childnet International on this list of games that help children and young people experiment with what they should trust and the potential unintended consequences. This starts with questions of trust and authority but then leads to decisions about how we use and share information ourselves. They can provide parents, carers and young people with common (non-confrontational) ground and are a unique way to gain understanding of this complex area of life.īeing able to discern between reliable sources and unreliable sources of information is an important skill for children to develop. The games in this list all offer space to consider these topics and themes through different lenses and experiences. Then there are games, like The Last Of Us II, that include trans, non-binary, gender diverse characters. Other games, like A Fold Apart, allow players to combine genders, roles, careers and relationships as they want. Some games, like Animal Crossing, offer a chance to step out of the common binary choices and instead play as a character without having to define a specific gender identity.

The games in this list offer a chance to play as a wide range of genders as well as assigning various roles to characters regardless of their identity. Mermaids has been supporting trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995. We've worked with the Mermaids charity to find games that create space for gender identity including trans, non-binary, gender diverse perspectives.
