Know where you are.Get help fast.
Ranger Bear teaches kids the most important thing in an emergency: how to say exactly where you are. You find your spot on a real map, then send a clear signal so help can come fast.
Two rounds. Find your spot on a real map and bring help.
Two rescue rounds
You play both, one after the other, on a real map from the sky. Each round shows a different way to tell rescuers where you are.
Round 1 · Find Your Square
Look at a real map from the sky and find your spot. Tap your square to get its three words, then say them out loud so help can find you.
Round 2 · Morse Map Rescue
The phones are down. Flash a short code with a flashlight to show the rescue satellite which part of the map you are in.
What kids learn
Skills, in plain words
The game teaches real safety skills with simple names, so kids and grown-ups can talk about them after they play.
Your three words
Every little spot on the map has three special words. Read yours to say where you are.
Look from the sky
See your spot from above, the way a rescuer would, and find what is near you.
Stay calm and speak clearly
A slow, clear voice gets help faster than a fast, scared one.
Find a safe helper
Look for police, a worker in a uniform, or a parent with kids.
Keep your message short
Tell them who needs help, where you are, and what is near you. That is all they need.
Ask for help without talking
When you cannot talk, a code like Morse can still call for help.
For parents and teachers
We kept it safe for kids
The art is friendly and never turns scary. Big buttons and voice mean no typing. And kids always practice with pretend addresses and sample places, never their own home.
It stays on their device
Progress saves right on the device. There are no child accounts, and nothing about your child leaves the browser.
Their voice stays private
When a child speaks, the sound becomes text once and isn't saved. The mic only turns on when a grown-up says it's okay.
It works in any country
The emergency number changes to match where you live: 911, 999, 112, 000, or 111.
