k-ID Partners With Magic Potion Games to Power “Imagine Island” with k-ID’s Global Compliance Engine and Universal Family Portal

The k-ID Global Compliance Engine and Universal Family Portal Deliver Age-Appropriate Gaming Experience to Ensure Safety and Privacy as Players Age and Mature

SINGAPORE, October 24, 2024 — k-ID, a company committed to making online experiences safer for kids and teens, announced today that its proprietary technology is powering the new game “Imagine Island” from Magic Potion Games, enabling a safer, age-appropriate game experience for kids all over the world and enhanced parental controls for peace of mind.

k-ID provides a streamlined parental consent process for underage players, enabling them to start playing "Imagine Island" in a safe and legally compliant setting while awaiting consent. This is due to k-ID’s Global Compliance Engine, which automatically configures game environments to meet regulatory requirements across the world. Parents are able to give consent and control in-game permissions through k-ID’s Universal Family Portal, a free-to-use and cross-platform solution that gives parents a single place to review and change what their kids have access to across all k-ID-supported games.

“Having ‘Imagine Island’ be the next game to integrate with k-ID from day one is a natural next step as we work towards creating a better online experience for kids,” said Kieran Donovan, CEO and co-founder of k-ID. “Like k-ID, Magic Potion Games was created by a team of experienced professionals from across the video game industry committed to empowering kids through safe and vibrant online experiences; a goal epitomized in  ‘Imagine Island.”’ 

Designed specifically for kids under 13, “Imagine Island” invites players to create their own character to explore a vibrant world, play mini-games, complete quests, and engage in community-driven challenges like building playground structures. The free-to-play game launched its first in-game event today, less than a month after its initial release.

"We've set out to build a safe and magical virtual world for the next generation of young gamers. A place where kids can be kids and parents can have peace of mind," said Stephen MacDonald, CEO of Magic Potion Games. “Safety and privacy protections for kids has been a top priority from day one for us, which made partnering with k-ID a no-brainer. Integrating the k-ID platform makes it easy for developers like us to ensure regulatory compliance on the back-end while allowing us to focus on creating a really great game for kids."

Built by leaders and experts in online safety, privacy and gaming, k-ID is steadily working towards its core mission of democratizing access to enriching online experiences for all ages, by helping developers navigate complex, global regulations. After launching at GDC in March, k-ID has been working with publishers like Magic Potion Games to bring their solution to video games and families around the world.
