When children feel danger, the proper response is simple:

• Stop
• Get away.
• Tell an adult.

When they discover an old mystery game in Grandpa's closet, three youngsters also discover valuable personal safety advice. The "Out of the Danger Zone" game presents the players with a series of scenarios that tests their ability to handle dangerous situations.
