PEGI Gaming Guidance

PEGI provides advice regarding the age suitability of a game. However, every child is different. Ultimately parents should decide what their children are capable of viewing or experiencing. Here are a few tips:

• Always look for the age classification on the game package or via a search engine.
• Try to look for a summary or review of the game content or ideally play the game yourself first.
• Play video games with your children, watch over them when they play and talk with them about the games they play. Explain why certain games are not suitable.
• Be aware that online games sometimes enable the download of extra software that can alter the game content and eventually the age classification of the game.
• Online games are usually played in virtual communities requiring players to interact with unknown fellow players. Tell your children not to give out personal details and report inappropriate behaviour.
• Set the limits by using the parental control tools of the game console or pc.
