Multi-player Online Game Herotopia for Kids to become Virtual Heroes

Herotopia - The First Multi-player Online Game Where Kids Become Virtual Heroes and Learn How To Deal With Real-life Bullies: Herotopia, The First Free to Play Social Online Game to Empower, Entertain and Educate Kids About Bullying.

Herotainment, LLC, the New York based children’s media company has announced the launch of Herotopia, a free to play social online game for kids ages 6 to 14. Herotopia is a fun and educational virtual world where kids become superheroes. In the dynamic multi-player online game, players explore real world cities and cultures and learn how to deal with bullies, a major issue facing 1 out of 4 of school-aged children.

In Herotopia, each child creates his/her own superhero avatar, chooses a special superpower and travels around the world to play and learn. The site design is a map of the Earth and users can explore nineteen different destinations, from New York to Paris, to Beijing and the North Pole. As kids travel throughout Herotopia, they are introduced to foreign languages, geography and reading skills all in a safe and interactive community setting.

Kids experience a global adventure by playing challenging games, discovering fun facts and hidden quests, and safely interacting with
friends. They become Herotopia Heroes and build self-confidence through virtual bully encounters with the Bully Bunch, the cast of super villains. Using non-violent superpowers, players learn how to create a Bully Free World.

“As a Mother of two, I wanted to address a critical social issue and encourage kids to be their own heroes,” says Co-CEO and Founder of Herotainment, LLC, Caryn Teman. “We set out to create a fun, safe and educational experience that parents would approve of and kids would enjoy.”

Bullying --- Nationally recognized expert, Dr. Joel Haber, the “Bully Coach,” writes the active Herotopia Bully Blog and provides kids and parents with essential techniques and information. http://www.herotopia.com/bullyblog/ “Our goal at Herotopia is to teach kids superhero skills to empower them and improve the quality of their relationships so if bullying occurs they know how to handle it and make it less likely to happen again,” says Dr. Haber. “Bullying behavior can start at a young age so teaching kids early is essential.”

Global Heroship --- Herotopia promotes global citizenship, "Heroship," and gives children a better understanding of the diverse world in which they live. Players work together to improve our planet in virtual cities and then apply that knowledge to the real world.
