What age is this video appropriate for?
This video is recommended for ages 10 and up. The content is generally safe, but it includes mild peril (exploring abandoned buildings, hearing mysterious noises), a prank that could be scary for younger viewers, and heavy product placement for Feastables and Cirkul, which may confuse younger children about advertising.
Is there any scary or violent content in this video?
The video contains no strong language, sexual content, or substance use. However, there is mild peril (exploring dark, abandoned buildings, hearing breaking glass at night) and a prank where one creator drops glass bottles to scare others. These moments are played for entertainment but could be unsettling for sensitive children.
Does this video contain product placement or advertising?
Yes, the video includes multiple sponsored segments for Feastables (a chocolate brand) and Cirkul (a flavored water bottle system). These are integrated into the narrative, such as characters eating s'mores with Feastables and using Cirkul bottles to flavor water. The creators also promote a giveaway tied to purchasing Feastables.
What are the positive and negative messages in this video?
The video models teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving as the group works together to find shelter, build a fire, and renovate their space. It also shows resilience and adaptability when faced with challenges like running out of water. However, the prank (dropping glass bottles to scare friends) models deceptive behavior, and the heavy focus on branded products may encourage consumerism.
Is this video a realistic survival guide or just entertainment?
The video is a staged survival challenge set in an abandoned city, with elements of exploration and mild peril. It is not a realistic survival guide—the creators have supplies dropped by helicopter and leave after seven days. The abandoned city is presented as a backdrop for entertainment, not as a real survival scenario.
Are there any behaviors in this video that kids might imitate?
The video includes a prank where one creator remotely drops glass bottles to scare his friends, which could be seen as modeling deceptive or mean-spirited behavior. Additionally, the creators explore unstable buildings and use a knife as a threat (though not used), which might encourage risky imitation. Parents should discuss the difference between staged content and real-life safety.
