Is Spaceteam Safe? A Spaceteam App Review for Parents
Recommended Age
10 and up
Overview
Spaceteam is a cooperative phone game set in outer space. With two or more players connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you work together flying a spaceship while dodging black holes and asteroids. Instead of taking turns, players perform tasks on their screens using hilarious nonsense space terms (Engage the gyro-socket!), while calling out instructions at the same time to everyone else. As online games go, this one is pretty safe — and fun to play in a group!
Harmful Content 😲
Spaceteam has no objectionable content in the game itself. While playing, it may get a little rowdy with all the players talking at the same time, but that’s about it.
Predation 🚨
There are no in-app chatting or messaging features, so predation potential is near zero.
Positive Value 💙
Spaceteam’s collaborative gameplay can help kids improve their teamwork skills. Juggling verbal commands with one’s own on-screen demands can help with multitasking.
Privacy 🔒
Because you can’t play with strangers, privacy concerns are near non-existent. Spaceteam is almost always played with friends or family. Plus, there are no names or identifiable characteristics attached to players.
Parental Controls ✅
There are no parental controls, but there’s also nothing that needs to be adjusted for age-appropriate content or chat capability. Bark’s screen time tool can help you:
- Block Spaceteam entirely, if needed.
- Manage when your child can play Spaceteam throughout the day.
So, should my kid download it?
Sure! There’s no objectionable content or messaging, but younger kids (about 9 and under) may get frustrated because of the fast-paced nature of the game.
