HAY DAY

HAY DAY

MINIMUM AGE: 13+
 
WHAT IS IT?
Players build a farm, fish, raise animals, and explore the Valley. Farm, decorate, and customize your own slice of country paradise. Harvest and replant seeds to multiply your crops, then make goods to sell. Welcome animals like chickens, pigs, and cows to your farm as you expand and grow! 

WHAT WE SAY:
Safe, but discuss safety tips with children.
​​

• Remember to restrict in-app purchases. As long as no payment information (e.g. credit card information) is added to your child's device, no purchases can be made. Should you decide to make purchases for your child and for this reason add your payment information to the device, remember to adjust password protection settings, or disable in-app purchases entirely afterwards to avoid unauthorised purchases
• This game also contains ads. 
• Players can trade crops and goods with their 'friends'. Players cannot talk to their 'friends' just trade goods. 

​
​Username:  Players are asked to set up a username during the game's tutorial. We recommend that players choose a nickname not directly identifiable to the players real-life person to increase security and privacy. You are able to change the username through the in-game settings (open the game, tap on the gear-wheel icon and look for "change name").

SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:

• Make sure you read this parents guide. 
• Make sure that children and young people always use their device in a room whereby adults are present.
• Discuss 'friends' - there is no such thing as an 'internet friend'. Encourage children and young people to only engage with other users whom adults know in the 'real-world', and that they know and trust.
• Outline clear rules for your children. Pay attention to their development. As they get older, they should generally be given more freedom.
• Communication will also become more important as children get older. Explain that you are not trying to control them but want to agree upon a set of ground rules.
• Try to stay up-to-date on Internet trends and best practices.
• Talk to your children about the risks of disclosing personal data.
• Have open discussions with children and young people about the topics associated with online use - bullying, grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, body image, as well as accessing support and how to report.
