Prize-winning British game explores issues of identity theft and cyber stalking When 17-year-old Jo Parsons blagged her way into a local nightclub for an evening out, she was flattered when a man she'd never met came over and offered to buy her a drink. But pleasure soon turned to anxiety. He refused to stop talking and she gradually realised that he knew much too much about her: what her friends were called, where she lived, her birthday, even her favourite music. He had been stalking her online. In fact, it was still going on: one of his mates was reading her social networking pages and send him phone updates about interests he could pretend to share with her. Furious, she threw her drink in his face and stormed off. This isn't a true story: it's fiction. But it's part of a fiction that has been experienced more than 260,000 times by online users – mostly teenagers – over the past six months. That's because this scenario is one of 13 that together comprise Smokescreen, a free-to-play "alternate reality game" commissioned by Channel 4 Education that is intended to give teenage players a personal encounter with everything from identity theft to cyber stalking. In recent weeks, moral panic over the safety of social networks has been everywhere in the media, sparked by the Daily Mail's account of a man posing as a girl of 14 on a "well known social networking site" and being approached by sexually interested males within minutes. Smokescreen is a far cry from that kind of frenzy. Yet what it represents might just be a lot more significant; both in terms of understanding young people's behaviour online and – most importantly – changing it. This month, Smokescreen won the best game award at the US conference South by Southwest, one of the biggest annual events in the global gaming industry. Its success – not to mention the experiences and reactions of its tens of thousands of players – paints a rather different picture of the realm of online social networking than is usually seen in the mainstream media. Smokescreen's website simulates the experience of being out in the web at large: players navigate their way through fake sites with names such as "Gaggle," "Tweetr" and (my favourite) "Fakebook," viewing the personal pages of a cast of five core characters, watching them swap information and instant messages, and even getting "phonecalls": messages playing over their computer's speakers, with the player selecting from a variety of responses to move the story forward. "Almost every teen we've talked to feels that they know everything about issues like online privacy, identity and security," explains Adrian Hon, co-founder and chief creative officer at the British company that created Smokescreen, Six to Start, "and the fact that most adults they've heard from insist on scaremongering about paedophiles means they're no longer interested in what adults have to say." But there's a lot, he adds, that teens don't know they don't know. And this is usually where the real dangers lie: not in up-front sexual approaches, but in the mire of privacy settings, tagged photographs, mobile phone numbers and dates of birth. In Smokescreen, you live these intricacies from the inside. In the mission where Jo Parsons faces her cyber stalker at the club, it's you who takes on the role of his mate on the phone; it's you looking through Jo's Fakebook page and Tweetr feed, choosing what information to send. Just as intended, it makes you think twice about the public information on your own page in real life. Helen Farrall, Smokescreen's creator and co-writer, talked me through her experiences writing that particular mission. "We did a lot of research, and I was incredibly surprised by how lax people are with information. I started looking on my friends' pages online and seeing what they put out there; we went into schools and spoke to our target audience about what they did, and none of them had really thought about putting their emails and......
