Again the music teacher of the little one recommends us a content of great interest for the whole family. Is about Dumb Ways To Die that although we presented it more than a year ago in Peques y Más we did it when it was only a video in which we learned that dying can not only be painful but also that we can do it in an absolutely idiotic way. And it is that recently the creators of Dumb Ways To Die have developed a game for mobile devices which introduces the characters of the video although now we are the ones who have to prevent them from doing nonsense and dying. In the game you can access new characters when we perform good actions and progress by earning points. The application also allows to inform our followers of social networks the idiotic way in which our character has died.
The game is fun and is Recommended for children over nine years old because it includes some very real or violent image although they are all cartoons with nice characters to care for and protect. Some actions that appear in the video can not be done in the game such as washing machine, medicine, selling your kidneys online, etc. The application has been developed Metro Trains in Australia which continues to affect children to learn that they can die in different ways: naturally or in an idiotic way. In the game and on the website there is a Red button which indicates that if you squeeze it you agree not to die in an idiot. Also, and my daughter told me so, in the game there is a bit of publicity when the game is over and before starting another.
The drawings are a very fun way to explain what happens in case the appropriate recommendations are not followed although notice that the ways to die, and the representation using tombstones, is very dramatic. For children it is a good way to learn thanks to cartoons. The challenge is to ensure that when they grow up they continue to remember the rules and comply with them because no, it is not fun, to die for idiotic behavior. Of course the game also has the music of the video that is still very fun and simple to remember and hum.
