Battle-Tested By Teens.
This Isn’t About “The Talk.”
This Is About The Moment:
A traffic stop.
A group of friends.
A knock on the window.
A question your teen didn’t expect.
The moment he thinks:
“I’ll just explain…”
That’s when everything can go left.
Most parents never see that moment coming.
But it comes anyway.
Good Kids Get Caught Up Every Day.
Because "Good Kids" Don't Make Perfect Decisions.
They:
🗣️Talk too much!
😆Play too much.
👀Misread the situation.
⌚Follow the wrong crowd for 5 minutes too long.
🔦Don’t know what police are really investigating.
And once it starts,
it’s hard to undo.
This is not a lecture.
This is not "Scared Straight."
This is practice.

Proven By Real, Organic Adoption
I conducted a market research study with 300 youth between the ages of 13 and 18 in Illinois, Indiana, and Texas.
The students play-tested a prototype of the game for 25 minutes. They were then surveyed about what they liked, what they learned, and what they would change.
Their comments and suggestions were incorporated into the final product when released to market.
This resulted in a game that is not only teen-approved, but co-created with teens.

My Story
I am April Preyar. I am a Chicago native and I have been a criminal defense attorney in my hometown for over 26 years.
I am also a former law school professor and a national TV legal analyst.
After practicing law for nearly two decades, my younger cousin got arrested for something that was totally preventable. In fact, his parents' well-meaning, legally flawed advice was the sole reason for his arrest.
I quickly realized that, though I had known him since he was born, I had never taken the time to prepare him for a police stop.
Even though I ultimately won his case, I was determined to save other teens and young people from arrest.
I drew from the thousands of arrests I had watched on body-worn and dashcam videos. I drew from the tens of thousands of reports I reviewed and I identified patterns.
Those patterns became the basis for the lessons in this game.
All of the scenarios are real-life stories.
I created Trials & Triumph with my cousin in mind, but my aim is to protect all of our sons, daughters, nephews, and nieces.
