Welcome to our first “Spotlight On” episode, a series where we will be discussing some of the most popular apps and games with our kids. This week we’ll be talking about Fortnite, a downloadable game where players are dropped onto islands where they battle each other to collect supplies… and to be the last player standing! Join us as we talk about why kids like this game, and what parents might want to know as they make their decision about whether or not to allow their child to play Fortnite.
