DOKI DOKI App

New App: DOKI DOKI

We have been advised that there is a new APP that is going viral among many (primary and secondary) school-age pupils. The APP is called DOKI DOKI (literature club).

The game is advertised as a school dating app and does not require parental checks to download. It is a free APP and although users should be 13+ years children can easily agree to being over the age. Once downloaded, children have ready access to their own account.

The APP begins as a colourful and light-hearted game but takes a sinister turn within an hour of children playing where their online friend starts to talk about depression and eventually commits suicide.

This is obviously disturbing and we wanted to bring it to the attention of all parents and carers.

The game is not a mobile or tablet game. It can only be played on Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS or Linux devices. For obvious reasons, we will not post a link to the downloads on this site, but should parents want to check if their child has the game installed on their computer, you should ask your child to log in as themselves and then ask them to search for the game on their computer, either in the Windows Start Menu, MacOS App Launcher or the Linux App Library. This is the icon you should be looking for:
