🚀 Getting Started

What is GuardianGamer and how does it make Roblox safer?

GuardianGamer is a safe gaming platform that creates a protected environment for kids to enjoy Roblox. We use advanced AI monitoring to ensure your child only sees age-appropriate content and interacts with approved friends.

Think of it as a digital playground with a fence - all the fun of Roblox, with built-in protection from inappropriate content, strangers, and unsafe interactions.

How do I get started? Is setup complicated?

Setup takes less than 5 minutes:

1. Visit guardiangamer.gg and create your parent account
2. Add your child's profile (first name only)
3. Download our app or use any web browser
4. Your child can start playing immediately!

Pro Tip: Start with our free plan to test everything out - no credit card required!
What devices work with GuardianGamer?

GuardianGamer works on any device with internet:

• iPads and tablets for portable gaming
• Laptops and computers at home
• Chromebooks for school devices

No downloads required - everything streams directly through your browser!

🚀  App Setup Help

How do I download the GuardianGamer App? I don't see it in the App Store.

Great question! GuardianGamer Parent and Gamer App work both differently than traditional apps - it's a web app that works directly in your browser, which means no App Store download needed!

Here's what happens when you scan the QR code on the Parent App:

Step 1: Your child's device opens a special webpage
Step 2: Tap "Add to Home Screen" (this makes it look and work like a regular app)
Step 3: Tap "Add" to confirm

That's it! The GuardianGamer icon will appear on their home screen just like any other app. No App Store, no downloads, no waiting!

Why no App Store? Web apps work on any device (iPad, iPhone, Android, Chromebook) without separate downloads. It's faster and more flexible!
The setup instructions on my phone screen are too small to read. Help!

We hear you! Phone screens can make text tricky to read during setup. Here's the simple version:

On iPhone/iPad:
1. After scanning QR code, tap the Share button (square with arrow)
2. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
3. Tap "Add" in the top right

On Android:
1. After scanning QR code, tap the menu (three dots)
2. Tap "Add to Home Screen"
3. Tap "Add"

Pro Tip: Do the initial setup on a larger screen (laptop or tablet) where instructions are easier to read, then scan the QR code with your child's phone device! You can install it on all their devices.

If you're still stuck, our support team can walk you through it: support@guardiangamer.com

How do I add GuardianGamer to another device (second iPad, phone, etc.)?

Easy! You can add as many devices as your child uses. Here's how to get a new connection code:

Step 1: Log into your Parent App on your own phone
Step 2: Go to the "Gamers" section or tab
Step 3: Click "Create Sign-In Code" next to your child's name
Step 4: Scan the new QR code with the additional device

Multiple Devices: Your child can switch between devices seamlessly - their settings and GG Connected Friends travel with them!
I signed up on my laptop. How do I get the Parent App on my phone?

Great question! The Parent App works simular as the Gamer App - it's also a web app you can add to your phone's home screen.

Here's how to get it on your phone:

Step 1: Open your phone's web browser (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android)
Step 2: Go to guardiangamer.gg
Step 3: Log in with your parent account
Step 4: Add to home screen (same way as the Gamer App)

On iPhone: Tap Share button → "Add to Home Screen" → "Add"
On Android: Tap menu (three dots) → "Add to Home Screen" → "Add"

Now you can check highlights,and monitor your child's gaming from anywhere!

Note: There's no separate QR code for the Parent App - just log in to guardiangamer.gg from any device and add it to your home screen.
When I play a highlight reel, it takes over my whole screen. How do I watch it in the app?

We hear you! Right now, highlight reels automatically play in full-screen mode on most devices to give you the best viewing experience. You turn your iPhone/Android on the side.

To exit full-screen:

• On computer: Press the ESC key or click the X in the corner
• On iPad/iPhone: Tap the screen and use the back/done button
• On Android: Use your device's back button

🛡️Safety & Protection

How does AI monitoring work? Is it watching my child constantly?

Our AI works like a smart safety assistant - it automatically detects inappropriate content, language, or behavior during play. It's not "watching" your child, but rather scanning for safety risks.

The AI creates helpful highlight reels of positive moments - like your child's creative builds or fun interactions with friends - available for you to watch after sessions (typically within 20 minutes).

Peace of Mind: Watch highlights when convenient to see your child's achievements and review any interactions that might need attention.
What protections are in place against strangers and inappropriate content?

Private Voice Chat Only:

• GuardianGamer replaces game voice chat with our secure overlay
• In-game voice chat is automatically disabled
• Kids only talk to pre-approved friends through our protected system

Complete Contact Control:

• Zero random player interactions allowed
• Only parent-approved friends can communicate
• Voice chat can be turned off entirely at any time

Safe Gaming Environment:

• Every game is age-appropriate and parent-vetted
• Chat filtering detects inappropriate language
• Highlight reels available after sessions to review any interactions

Your child plays in a private bubble with only trusted friends.

Is my child's data and privacy protected?

Absolutely. We're COPPA compliant and follow the strictest privacy standards for children.

• We never sell or share your child's information
• All communications are encrypted
• You control what data is stored
• Delete any information at any time
• Only first names are used - no personal details required

🎤 Voice Chat & GG Connected Friends

How does GuardianGamer's voice chat overlay work with my child's gaming accounts?

GuardianGamer creates a protective overlay on top of your child's existing Roblox, Minecraft, or other gaming accounts. This overlay replaces the game's built-in voice chat with our secure system.

Your child keeps their original gaming account and progress, but can only voice chat with GG Connected Friends - the trusted, real-life friends you've personally approved through our parent network.

What's the difference between my child's game friends and GG Connected Friends?

Game Friends: Anyone your child has friended within Roblox, Minecraft, etc. These could include online strangers.

GG Connected Friends: Only children whose parents you know and have connected with through GuardianGamer's parent network. These represent your child's real-life social groups.

Safe Social Gaming: Your child can still see their game friends in-world, but voice chat only works with GG Connected Friends you've approved.
What happens if my child encounters strangers while playing?

Your child can still play in the same game worlds as other players, but they're in a voice chat bubble with only their GG Connected Friends.

When encountering strangers:

• They can see other players and interact through game mechanics
• No voice communication is possible with non-GG friends
• Text chat is filtered and monitored
• Your child stays connected to their trusted friend group

How do I approve GG Connected Friends for my child?

Building your child's trusted network is simple:

Step 1: Connect with other parents you know in real life
Step 2: Both parents approve the friendship through the GG App
Step 3: Kids can now voice chat safely during gameplay
Step 4: Monitor interactions through your parent dashboard

Real-Life First: Focus on connecting with parents from school, sports teams, neighborhood friends, or family friends for the safest experience.
Does the GG Connected Friends system work across different games?

Yes! Your approved GG Connected Friends list travels with your child across all supported games.

Whether they're playing Roblox, Minecraft, or other supported titles, they can voice chat with the same trusted group of real-life friends. No need to manage separate friend lists for each game.

Can I see and manage my child's GG Connected Friends list?

Absolutely! Your parent dashboard gives you complete visibility and control:

• View all current GG Connected Friends
• See which parents you're connected with
• Remove friendships if needed
• Get notifications when new friend requests come in
• Monitor voice chat interactions and highlights

Parent Control: Only you can approve new GG Connected Friends - your child cannot add voice chat friends without your permission.

👥 Social Gaming & Friend Groups

How do I create safe play groups with my child's friends?

Creating friend groups is simple and secure:

Step 1: Invite other parents via email or phone through your parent dashboard
Step 2: Both parents approve the friendship connection
Step 3: Kids can now play together safely in private sessions

Group Play: Create themed play groups like "Classroom Friends" or "Soccer Team" to organize different friend circles.

How do I invite other parents to join GuardianGamer?

Use our Parent Invite System:

• Send invitations directly from your dashboard
• Include the name of the friend you are inviting to play, also if you send it via sms txt include a personal message explaining the benefits. We suggest them to sign-up
• All parents get a 30-day free trial automatically
• Once they join, kids can connect immediately

Many parents love joining after seeing how safe and fun the experience is for everyone!

Can kids play together if parents have different subscription plans?

Yes! Cross-plan compatibility means kids can play together regardless of their parents' subscription levels.

• Free trial users can play with subscribers
• All safety features work the same for everyone
• Session time limits follow each child's individual family policy

Note: All core safety and play features work for everyone, regardless of their plan. After 30 days the trial is over, and you can subscribe.

What if I don't know the other parents personally?

We recommend connecting only with parents you know, but we have tools for expanding your network safely:

School/Class Groups: Teachers can create verified classroom groups
Activity Groups: Sports teams, clubs, etc. can create supervised groups
Parent Phone Verification: Optional identity verification for extra peace of mind

Trust your instincts - start with parents you know and expand gradually as you're comfortable.

🔧 Game Account Setup

Use your existing Roblox account or create one

Yes you keep your existing account on Roblox. You don't need to change anything in the games Roblox provides.  
Can my child use their existing Roblox account with GuardianGamer?

Yes! After connecting your devices through the QR code or PIN, your child can log into their existing Roblox account directly through the Gamer App. All their current friends, builds, and progress carry over seamlessly.

What if my child doesn't have a Roblox account yet?

No problem! They can create a new Roblox account right through GuardianGamer. We'll guide you through the setup process, and you'll have full control over privacy settings from day one.

Do I need to change any settings on my child's existing Roblox account?

GuardianGamer works with Roblox accounts as-is, but we recommend reviewing privacy settings together.

Can multiple kids use different Roblox accounts on the same GuardianGamer family plan?

Absolutely! Each child profile can link to their own unique Roblox account. No sharing required—everyone keeps their own builds, friends, and game progress.

What happens to my child's Roblox friends when we start using GuardianGamer?

Existing friendships stay intact, but here's the safety boost: You'll get notifications about who they're playing with, and our AI monitors all interactions. You can review and approve their friend list through your parent dashboard.

If we stop using GuardianGamer, what happens to the Roblox account?

Your child's Roblox account remains completely theirs—it's not tied to GuardianGamer. They can continue using it normally on any device. Think of us as a safety layer, not a replacement.

Can I see my child's Roblox chat history through GuardianGamer?

Yes! Our parent dashboard shows rather than detailed chat logs, indicators or flags of any concerning conversations. You'll get personalised highlights giving you peace of mind, like "Built with friends—all positive interactions" rather than overwhelming details.

Will GuardianGamer add more games?

Yes ! Minecraft is next.

Smart Scheduling vs. Self Control Set different rules for school days vs. weekends, and the system automatically shows on the start screen of the child device how much time they still have left for the day and month. You can easily change all of this in your dashboard to select more or less hours per day. Have a conversation with your child where you make them aware about the time on the platform. Trust them to manage their gametime. If they are with friends they can always can stay on voice chat. Only game time is counted in the daily budget.
