If you’re worried about the time your child is spending on a specific game, you can either block it entirely or set firm rules around access (e.g. allowed during play-time only, or allowed on weekends only). Fortnite, for example, is one of many individual games that you can manage with Family Zone.
With these individual controls, you can disable access with a single click, via the Family Zone app.
Some parents may choose to set time-use rules around the entire gaming category, rather than focus on specific games.
By default, Family Zone blocks all games during designated study times.
At the sleep-time you set, access to all online content is blocked, games included.
Gaming that takes place on consoles - Xbox, Wii, Playstation or the like - can be managed via the Family Zone Box, a router that gives parents one-touch control over all devices that connect to the home network.
The World Health Organisation now includes "gaming disorder" and "hazardous gaming" as part of its list of behavioural disorders.
From advice and alerts to help setting screen time limits and device sleep times, Family Zone makes managing gaming easy.
Block games while they do their homework. Allow more access during play time. Disable the internet entirely when it’s time for sleep. Simply set it - and forget it.
Worried about a specific game like Fortnite? Family Zone offers individual controls to let you fine-tune your children’s access to these and many other games - or block them entirely.

There is no doubt that protecting and regulating our kids’ online activity is one of the major challenges of today. I urge all parents to engage in their kids’ online world. Installing parental controls is a key step forward.
Parents have a right to know where their children go and who they communicate with. Parents whose family have been devastated by online issues who now use monitoring or filtering software would do anything to turn back time . They have told me so. Family Zone is an essential piece of the cyber safety formula.
Along with establishing parental controls and regularly discussing cyber-safety with our kids, we also need tools that protect them when they’re online. Family Zone offers a complete solution to many parents’ digital dilemmas.
Family Zone is by far THE best web based filtering service (and so much more) on the market today. It will truly help you establish a safe, online environment for your family both in and outside the home.
As a high school IT teacher I’ve seen the worst of what kids’ exposure to the cyber world can do. This is why I recommend Family Zone as it provides a universal and affordable level of control for parents.
Simple and easy to use, Family Zone provides schools and parents with a range of options to ensure they are meeting their duty of care and to allow children to understand safe and respectful technology use.
