To play, click on the button that displays the time in red. This will take you through a short scenario where Jo or Josie are presented with a dilemma relating to the internet or social media and you are asked to decide what Jo or Josie should do about it.
You have the option to mute, pause or replay the audio narration. The two buttons to control these features are at the top of the screen in the middle for most parts of the game or on the side of certain dialog boxes.
After a decision is made, consequences will appear in Jo or Josie’s social media feed. Scroll back and forth through the feed at any time to review what’s happened so far!
Based on your answers, each decision is scored from zero to two. Accumulate points for each day, and do your best to get all ten!
