Passing the Ball

Web Wise Kids is proud to present 'Passing The Ball.' This is a free browser-based game created by notable indie game creator Gregory Weir (The Majesty Of Colors) of the UBM TechWeb Game Network. It is an action game that follows a parent and their child as they learn an important lesson about working together.

'Passing The Ball' is the first advocacy game commissioned by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, as it recognizes the importance of video games in promulgating social messages. In addition to commissioning the game for Web Wide Kids, the UBM TechWeb Game Network has donated $1,000 directly to WWK to help its strong existing programs to "promote a culture of safety, responsibility and respect for youth and families in the digital world."

"We're pleased to debut 'Passing The Ball' as an example of a thoughtful, allegorical web game that helps people consider their role in helping young people make themselves safe online", says Simon Carless, EVP of the UBM TechWeb Game Network. "The game's underlying concept is that multiple parties have to act together to protect kids online, and we've enjoyed working with Web Wise Kids to craft and release the game to help put their important message across."
