We all know that any words associated with menstruation is a taboo in our society, imagine being a young girl who is about to reach the age of puberty and you don’t know what is happening to you and you’re too embarrassed to ask anyone about it so you keep quiet and wonder... this can be a very dangerous situation. Now, imagine you’re a mother of a 12 year old girl, you know that her menarche is fast approaching and this is your first time having to explain this complicated cycle to your baby.
Oh God, the time has come; you are sitting next to her as she lays in bed, your sweet precious angel but you know she won’t be a child much longer so you hype yourself up preparing your speech in your head… Where do you even start? This is so embarrassing for me, imagine what it’s going to be like for her, how can I take some of this pressure off? I wish I could download an age appropriate app that will educate her.
Code red.
This is a concept gaming app that educates young girls in an age appropriate manner about the menstrual cycle. “Code Red” is a euphemism that many people use for their period and it takes away a little part of the embarrassment factor of playing a game based on menstruation.
