Internet pornography has evolved into a type of "digital drug" that damages the brain, triggers addictive behavior, and even deviant behavior or sexual violence, as the internet has become faster, more equal, and private. Meanwhile, the most vulnerable victims, the alpha generation of digital natives, are not adequately protected or educated. Pornography barriers are easily breached, and pornography-awareness education is limited to formal materials and remains taboo to discuss. This mobile game design attempts to educate youngsters from 7 to 13 years old about the risks of pornography in a simple and enjoyable language. The teaching takes the form of a simulation of pornographic exposure, with a pornographic symbol entity named Monster Porano that is safe to watch but nonetheless has pornographic connections from a child's perspective. This simulation is intended to be as realistic as possible so that children will know what to do and how to act when exposed to pornography in the real world. The DGBL (Digital Game-Based Learning) approach and the DDE (Design, Dynamics, and Experience) framework were used to create this game, which was supported by qualitative research in the form of interviews and observations of respondents from four schools (n=34), as well as interviews with child development psychologists and visual communication experts. According to the findings of user testing on respondents, children associate Monster Porano with pornography. Meanwhile, educational mobile games have an impact on children's awareness of the dangers of internet pornography, as well as knowing what to do when they encounter pornographic material while using the internet.
