Since its release on August 2015, the Happy Onlife app has been downloaded 11.000 times and over 3.000 copies of the physical board game have been distributed to teachers and schools.

JRC researchers conceived and developed the Happy Onlife product as a peer and media edutainment toolkit promoting safe and responsible uses of ICT among adults and children (8 - 12 years old).
