  My grand daughter got a tablet for Christmas. Shes been playing on Minecraft and spends a fair bit of time on it
  
  Now can anyone explain in nanny language lol..what the game is about is it a safe game for her to play and can anyone contact her on the game. Like I said shes only 9yrs old and you hear stories about games.
  
  Also who is the villian?? She keeps saying the brother of the man who invented it has hacked it ( no idea whats shes on about lol) and he can control the game??? We me and her mam both say to her if anyone tries to talk to you to let one of us know but you know what kids are like asking them to tell you and them telling you can be two different things !

  
  Minecraft has no specific goal, it gives you the freedom to explore and build your own worlds and just have fun, it's a great game for children, there is no risk or danger in letting your child play this game, even more so on the tablet version of the game.
  
  For more on minecraft read this page, tells you everything you need to know

  I think enderman might be based on a lovely person called Slenderman

  It's basically lego, but in a computer game and the limits of building are you imagination. A lot of people play on free mode which means the only thing to do is build. Its a classic building game, they are very addictive as the player is often given a lot of freedom.
