Cartoon Network is celebrating Discovery Channel's Shark Week on its popular Roblox experience for kids, Cartoon Network Game On!, with shark-themed quizzes and activities. For the first time ever, fans can immerse themselves in Cartoon Network's fully experiential world and interact with sharks. The new in-game shark-themed features will help drive awareness by allowing kids to learn facts about sharks and the importance of their conservation and protection in a fun and engaging way.
An immersive experience that transports kids to a realm outside the bounds of reality, Cartoon Network Game On! allows players to experience the virtual world of hit Cartoon Network series - and now, for Shark Week, kids can play games to level up and unlock awesome shark-themed avatar skins and accessories. Like never before, Roblox players can also engage in a shark-specific quiz and answer fun questions in an attempt to unlock shark-specific goodies.
Additionally, players can adopt "pet" sharks by taking a personality test and getting matched with a shark based on their quiz answers. With multiple selfie spots around Cartoon Network Game On! kids can capture images of their avatar in scenes with characters and take a photo with sharks against an underwater backdrop. Players can also immerse themselves in the ultimate shark experience with shark-themed park rides on the main island.
The experience also incorporates Cartoon Network's award-winning initiative, Cartoon Network Climate Champions, allowing users to interact with characters and help complete challenges on Roblox –to help the Cartoon Network Game On! environment. Specific shark-related Climate Champions challenges will be available in the game to help reinforce the importance of sharks and shark conservation and teach kids shark-related facts.

"We are constantly working to develop new and exciting experiences for kids with real added value on a platform they love. Shark Week is such an important annual event for us, as it gives us the opportunity to showcase these fascinating creatures. We are thrilled to now introduce Shark Week to the young audience on Roblox as well in a uniquely Cartoon Network and kid-relevant way."
Cartoon Network Game On! was launched in December 2022, bringing the network's beloved shows to a broader kids' audience on a popular kid-centred gaming platform. With rip-roaring rides and manic minigames, the fully experiential world is THE place for all things Cartoon Network on Roblox! Accurately reflecting the locations and worlds iconic to five fan favourite shows, Cartoon Network Game On! brings children a whole new way to experience the worlds of Craig of the Creek, Teen Titans Go!, We Bare Bears, Ben 10, and The Amazing World of Gumball. Featuring zip wires, slides, fun rides, and much more, Cartoon Network Game On! gives kids a chance to bond with their favourite Cartoon Network characters, play games, and explore five awe-inspiring islands. It allows players to explore the Creek, hang out in Titans Tower, take a trip to Elmore Junior High School with Gumball, and adventure to fantastical worlds with the Baby Bears or transform into Ben 10's aliens. The experience receives over 2 million monthly visits and a total of 16.2 million visits since launch. Award-winning Cartoon Network Game On! won the 2023 Broadcast Digital Award for Best Digital Support for a Strand, Channel or Genre.
