Why do we need Ms. Informed right now?

The digital misinformation crisis is affecting children at younger ages than ever before. Research shows that children ages 9-11 are more susceptible to online misinformation than adults, with accuracy rates starting at just 49.2% when identifying fake content. Kids are spending increasing amounts of time online, getting news and health information from questionable sources, but they're not equipped with the critical thinking skills to evaluate what they encounter.

With AI-generated content growing exponentially and minimal oversight, we're facing an unprecedented challenge. Children who develop poor digital habits early carry them into adolescence and adulthood, making early intervention crucial. Meanwhile, 55% of parents rank online safety as their top concern—even above their children's mental and physical health—yet they lack effective tools to address these fears.

The best defense is giving kids the tools to decipher what is and isn't real. Educational interventions have proven effective, improving accuracy from 49.2% to 68% over time, but current resources are boring, theoretical, and don't translate to real-world application. Ms. Informed fills this critical gap by making digital literacy engaging and practical.

What sets Ms. Informed apart?

Ms. Informed is uniquely designed around how children actually learn best. Research shows that kids in our target age group (8-10) respond to engaging, character-driven narratives with progressive difficulty levels and immediate feedback systems. We marry technology and child psychology to present complex digital literacy concepts in easily digestible, age-appropriate ways.

Unlike educational platforms that isolate children or parental controls that simply block content, we prioritize collaborative learning. Our co-op modes enable kids to play with their parents and extended families, bringing multi-generational digital literacy into the 21st century. Features like our Extended Family Plan allow up to 8 family members across multiple households to participate, with video calling integration so children can solve cases with grandparents.

Ms. Informed isn't just a game—it's a movement to empower families with the tools they need to thrive in our digital world. Together, we can ensure that the next generation grows up not just as digital natives, but as digital citizens.
