Club Penguin may be shutting down<\/a>, but there\u2019s a new social network for kids arriving today from LEGO. The company known for its physical blocks and building sets is launching LEGO Life<\/a>, a safe, online space where kids can share their LEGO creations, and connect with a broader community. Available as an iOS and Android application, the social network\u00a0is aimed at those under the age of 13, with protections in place to\u00a0ensure the site remains child-friendly.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the idea for the network\u00a0came about by watching how kids shared their creations in the LEGO Club Magazine\u2019s \u201cCool Creations\u201d section, and posted stories and photos of their LEGO building to the company\u2019s message boards. LEGO Life means to translate that same activity to an online world, while also offering tools to inspire future building, ways to earn rewards, and a means of commenting on others\u2019 creations.<\/p>\n

LEGO Life can be personalized to the individual user, each of whom will have their own newsfeed that\u2019s customized to their interests. Users are\u00a0prompted to follow their favorite topics and groups, like those dedicated to animals, vehicles, superheroes, and more. The feed will include posts from LEGO Master Builders, as well, which will show off some of the more impressive creations.<\/p>\n

Kids get to interact with some LEGO characters, including\u00a0Master Wu from LEGO NINJAGO, and Emma from LEGO Friends, and LEGO BATMAN. These characters will appear on the network\u00a0to comment on members\u2019 builds, which are shared by way of\u00a0photo uploads. The characters will also share other building inspiration, the company says.<\/p>\n

There are also LEGO videos to watch, LEGO news updates, quizzes, and other activities.<\/p>\n

As part of its safety features, LEGO Life includes its own custom emoji keyboard which kids use when they\u2019re talking about their own creations or commenting on those from others. This keyboard replaces the text when commenting on the user-generated content, explains LEGO. That leaves little room for online bullying to take place, and these emoji comments are moderated.<\/p>\n

To further keep kids protected, the network is locked down in a number of ways. The company says it worked with UNICEF on its set of safety features.<\/p>\n

The app\u00a0prohibits sharing of personal info or photos that could be used to identify or locate players, and users\u2019 avatars are just customized LEGO characters. Kids can\u2019t directly chat with each other, only comment. And kids\u2019 user names are generated for them, using a random name generator that comes up with\u00a0silly 3-word mixes, like \u201cDukeCharmingShrimp\u201d or \u201cChairmanWilyDolphin.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Unlike other kids\u2019 social networks, the site doesn\u2019t sell memberships or ask you to pay for items, but it does feature ads for LEGO products.<\/p>\n

    LEGO Life is a free download in the iOS App Store<\/a> and Google Play<\/a>.<\/p>\n
