But are there some valid concerns with this game? We’re now seeing articles surface from very concerned parents freaking out about the game like it’s Grand Theft Auto (it’s not). Right now the question I am hearing at every one of my parent workshops is, “I can’t pry my son’s eyes from the video game Fortnite! He even sneaks to play it! What do I do?” And then other parents ask, “Is this a healthy game for my kids to be playing in the first place?” Like when Snapchat released their new SnapMaps last fall, I began hearing questions from parents, “Is it safe for my kids’ friends to all know where she is at any given moment?”

It’s interesting how different elements in our culture provoke questions from parents at a given time. The game is Fortnite, and it’s all anyone is talking about. It’s a video game that many have described as Minecraftmeets Left 4 Dead (which covers a pretty broad spectrum… in movies it would be like saying Incrediblesmeets Deadpool).Įvery kid is talking about it, and anyone with an Xbox, PlayStation, computer or an iPhone can jump in on a match.
