Abstract
By examining the online parent-child game entitled Island Survival , this paper probes into the behavioral traits of parent-child players by means of case study, covering the accumulation and analysis of the dynamic database of these players, and classifies the parent- kid family into three different types: harmonious type, constructive type and crisis type according to the players’ behavioral traits, and the way of classifying offers important enlightenment to the design of online parent- child games.
