Take the Safe Gaming Pledge

Families around the world are taking this Pledge and are making a commitment to create safe, balanced and fun entertainment experiences in their homes.

As a family, we pledge to:

• Talk about WHAT KIND OF MEDIA CONTENT (games, TV shows, Web sites) is accepted in our home. When in doubt, we will check with retailers or online (e.g., www.esrb.org) for additional information on rating systems and advice.
• Set LIMITS around the amount of time spent in front of a screen including playing video games, watching TV or using the computer.
• Learn about and set-up PARENTAL CONTROLS on our video game consoles and computers.
• Practice ONLINE SAFETY by keeping personal information private, reporting cyberbullying, and understanding who it’s appropriate to communicate or play with online.
• Talk about our family's media choices, and discuss the IMAGES and MESSAGES we see in video games, on the Web and TV.
• Enjoy gaming and PLAY TOGETHER.
