Nick’s Big Green Help Global Challenge

 

Nickelodeon has launched a new chapter in their environmentally friendly challenge by opening up an online game at the Big Help website (Nick.com/BigGreenHelp). The new online multiplayer kids game seeks to use social media as a tool to help educate today’s youth about global environmental concerns.

Going live today Sunday, December 14th, 2008, “Global Challenge” allows users to play as a famous Nicktoon character, such as SpongeBob or Timmy Turner, to work with others as a team to turn opponents of planet greening in the right direction. The downloadable computer game, upon completion, aims to keep its players in the right frame of mind as it navigates users to an online meter that requests an individual commitment to help contribute to the pro-social initiative.

“With about three quarters of the U.S. kid population actively gaming online, we think our Global Challenge game is a great way to connect them to the pro-social issues they care about, like the environment,” Marva Smalls, Executive Vice President of Public Affairs, Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group, commented. “Our legacy of empowering kids has shown that they can lead the way in addressing positive change, and we hope this game can be the beginning of a kid-led environmental movement.”
