Chat Customization
Parents can customize their children's communication privilege in Fantage by choosing one of the following chat options:
Fantage Chat Option
The [Fantage Chat] option allows chatting with other players throughout Fantage. Players write their own messages which are then processed by our automatic filtering system that prevents users from revealing personal information or using inappropriate or offensive language.
Safe Chat Option
The [Safe Chat] option allows your child to receive chats and/or messages from Fantage administrators and users who select the [Safe Chat] option only. [Safe Chat] offers pre-selected sentences and users can choose from them and display those messages to others. [Safe Chat] users cannot type by themselves.
No Chat Option
A strong safety feature that will help protect your child from any unwanted chat is the [No Chat] option. If parents choose the [No Chat] option for their child, the user will not see any chat dialog or messages, except for official announcements from Fantage administrators.
Payment Security
All payment information entered on our site is protected by a SSL encryption and is transferred directly to our financial institutions. This information is not stored on our site and our payment page has been tested and confirmed to be PCI compliant, meeting the industry standards for online payment security.
Fantage is not only a place for fun, but a place where teachers and students can experience educational content. The new Fantage School includes classrooms where students can play educational math, English, geography, and strategy games; a music room, where students can walk on instruments to play music; and a gymnasium, where students can play “Off the Hook” – a true or false quiz game.

Fantage School Challenge
Fantage has invited a fifth-grade class to participate in the first Fantage School Challenge. Utilizing Fantage’s unique in-world virtual classrooms, which offer a place for teachers to connect with their students in a safe and fun online setting, the School Challenge tests comprehension in math and language skills through engaging mini-games. The fifth-grade class – split into two teams – competed in math and language games for prizes.
“It’s important to offer varied activities to keep the kids interested in learning, and the Fantage School games delivered,” said Veronica Castillo, fifth grade teacher, Christ the King School. “Everyone in the classroom was excited to participate, and the School Challenge provided extra motivation for my students to focus on important subjects like math and reading.”
Multiple competitions will be held throughout 2012. For more information on the Fantage School Challenge, please contact education@fantage.com.
