🕹️ What Kind of Game Is It?

A free-to-play online game that blends action, creativity, and social play. Best known for its battle royale mode—where 100 players compete to be the last one standing—Fortnite also offers building mechanics, user-created maps, concerts, and story-driven events.

❤️ Why Kids Love It

• Tons of skins, emotes, and gear to personalize their character
• Constant updates with new content, challenges, and collaborations
• They can team up with friends and hang out in a colorful, ever-changing world
  

👀 What Grown-Ups Might Notice

• It's fast-paced and competitive, but also full of creative modes and social spaces
• Kids may spend time just exploring or chatting with friends—not always playing to win
• Expect lingo like “Victory Royale,” “build battles,” and “skins”
