The game aims at raising awareness about the problems of cybersecurity and privacy while using the Internet. It can be used both by teachers in classrooms and labs as a game-based learning tool, and by kids as a single-player game.
“Nabbovaldo and the Cyber Blackmail” is inspired by the comic book “Nabbovaldo against the Zombie PCs”, published in the "Comics & Science" series edited by the Italian CNR (National Council of Research).
The video game has the same characters and the same setting as "Internetopoli", which reflects the complex world of the Internet in its totally imaginary environments and characters.
