A Guide for Parents & Guardians
GILI — A Guide for Parents & Guardians
Last updated / Effective date: August 19, 2026
GILI release date: August 19, 2026 (Meta Quest)
This guide is written in plain language to help parents and guardians understand GILI and the tools available to keep young players safe. It is a companion to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which are the binding documents. (This guide is informational and not legal advice.)
What is GILI?
GILI is a friendly, social virtual reality (VR) game for Meta Quest. Players explore an ocean world, hatch and raise sea-creature partners, ride on their backs, cook at campfires, and team up with friends to discover deeper waters together. It's free to play, with optional in-game purchases.
GILI is designed to be welcoming for a younger audience, with a focus on care, companionship, and cooperation rather than competition.
Who can play?
- Ages 13 and up can play with your permission and supervision.
- Ages 10–12 can play only through a Meta Parent-Managed Account that you set up and approve. Meta lets you review and approve each app your child wants to download.
- We may use trusted tools (such as k-ID and Meta's parental controls) to help confirm age and get a parent's approval where needed.
👉 The most important step: set up and manage your child's headset through a Meta Parent-Managed Account, and use Meta's parental controls to decide what they can download, buy, and who they can interact with.
What your child can do in GILI (and how we keep it safe)
🎙️ Voice chat & messages
GILI has real-time voice chat with nearby players, plus short text "whispers." This is part of the fun of playing together — but it also means your child may talk with people you don't know.
- Players can mute, block, and report anyone at any time.
- We use automated, AI-assisted moderation and human review to act on abuse and harassment.
- We remind players not to share personal information (real name, address, school, etc.) in chat.
🤝 Playing with others
Kids can make in-game friends and play co-op. You can manage social features and who your child can connect with through Meta's parental controls.
🛡️ A kinder world by design
GILI centers on raising and caring for creatures. Certain gentle sea animals are protected in-game, and the community rules ask everyone to play kindly.
In-game purchases 💎
GILI is free to play, but offers optional purchases using Pearls (premium currency) and Shells (earned in-game), plus bundles like a one-time Starter Pack.
- Purchases are handled by the Meta Store, not by us.
- Please note: virtual items and currency are licensed, not owned, and are generally non-refundable and non-transferable.
- You control spending: use Meta's parental controls to require approval for purchases or turn them off entirely. Parents/guardians are responsible for purchases made through accounts they manage.
Comfort & wellbeing in VR
- VR is best enjoyed in short sessions with breaks and a clear play space.
- Check the comfort rating and follow Meta's health & safety guidance for your child's headset.
- Please make sure your child has enough room to play safely.
Your privacy rights as a parent
You can, at any time:
- Review the personal information we hold about your child,
- Ask us to delete it, and
- Refuse or withdraw consent to further collection.
We may need to verify your identity and your relationship to the child first. To make a request, contact us at support@quantumuniverse.co. For more detail on what we collect and why, see our Privacy Policy.
Quick checklist for parents ✅
- Set up a Meta Parent-Managed Account for children under 13 (ages 10–12).

- Talk with your child about not sharing personal info in voice/text chat.
- Show them how to mute, block, and report.
- Decide together on healthy play times and breaks.
