At Elf Island, we take online safety very seriously. We want you and your children to feel comfortable exploring our virtual world, playing games, and making lots of new friends!

Safety is our top priority, so we have plenty of features in the works to assure Elf Island is a safe environment for players of all ages:

• Moderators – A team of live Moderators watches Elf Island at all times. They review all chat activity for potentially dangerous discussion and are available to address questions and concerns from players or parents.
• Chat dictionary – Elf Island has safe chat through the use of a pre-determined dictionary. If a word is not in our dictionary, then you cannot say it on Elf Island! This helps to cut down on vulgar language, harassment, and the exchange of personal information.
• Parental controls – Parents can view their child’s ban history, track their in-game progress, and set limits on the number of hours they are allowed to play each day.
• Game downtime – To encourage kids to live an active lifestyle and get plenty of rest, Elf Island closes down at the end of each night.
• Approved usernames – All player usernames are reviewed by our Moderation team and must be approved before the user can access the game, using that name.
• COPPA compliance – Elf Island will obtain parental permission before allowing any child into our virtual world. Your personal information will never be shared and your child’s account can be canceled at any time!

Of course, the best way to make sure your child is safe is to keep an open line of communication. Elf Island will do our part to keep our players safe, but ultimately this responsibility lies with the parents. Here are a few quick tips to help keep you and your children safe while online.

If you have any questions about Elf Island’s commitment to online safety, feel free to contact: Liz@goodeggstudios.com

Are you as excited about summer movies as the Elves? Which ones have you already seen? What are some of your all-time favorites? What kind of movie would you make if you could?

July 14th was Shark Awareness Day! It’s a special day to bring attention to common misconceptions about sharks and shed some light on the need for shark protection.
Sharks play a vital role in the oceans by keeping the food web in balance. Unfortunately, people often view them as mindless monsters or “eating machines”. You may be surprised to hear that humans are actually a much greater threat to sharks than sharks are to us! Millions of sharks are killed each year for their fins and millions more are accidentally killed in the nets of fishers.
Did you know?

• Over one hundred million sharks are killed each year by commercial fisheries
• Of the 350 different shark specifies, only 3 have been involved in a significant number of human fatalities
• You are much more likely to be injured while driving to the beach than you are to be attacked by a shark

So wouldn’t it be cool to be able to help save sharks? The first step is to become educated about sharks and spread the word about the importance of protecting them. Elf Island is also dedicated to saving sharks, and in the coming weeks we’ll unveil our plans to help YOU to play an active role in shark preservation!
