The Safe Zones Orange in Fortnite

Orange set up Safe Zones on two platforms (Fortnite & Roblox) that are highly popular among young gamers. In Fortnite, there are now Safe Zone cabins on six islands which can be accessed by several million users.

The Safe Zone offers a series of questions and answers that address the risks associated with immersive technologies in a playful way. A second feature enables victims of cyberbullying or witnesses of harassment to access support.

When playing the game, it’s easy to spot an Orange Safe Zone. Once inside, the player is greeted by a bot - the Orange Droid - who will guide the player to the Experience space. Correctly answering questions on cyberbullying unlocks “surprises” to help the player earn rewards on the platform. The player is therefore continually informed of how to use VR and online platforms responsibly.

The player can also press a “jump to talk” button that can stay active. This keeps communications open with the Orange Droid so you can alert it to any case of cyberbullying and, whether you’re the victim or a witness, receive advice about how to tackle it. You can also contact a support service via a QR code or message that displays the number to call.
