Now the little ones at home will be able to discover new content on Netflix for themselves. The company has announced another novelty for its platform, and it is the 'Mystery Box'. With it, as they describe, they hope to help children discover new films and television programs. Of course, with relevant and specific content for them, so there is nothing to worry about.
This 'Mystery Box' will work just like the shuffle button on your music player, displaying shows and movies based on kids' tastes. The company points out that this function has been launched for children to discover and try new things , and that is that infants tend to watch over and over again the movies and programs that they consider their favorites in the moment.
Netflix's 'Mystery Box' will begin its global deployment starting this Thursday. In addition, you can use it on any device compatible with Netflix, so this will not be an impediment. Of course, keep in mind that, although the function has been launched today, it could take some time until it is available on your mobile, tablet or Smart TV.
Children are drawn to what they love—their favorite toys, foods, songs—and it's hard to get them to try something new. So today we're launching the new Mystery Box feature on TVs around the world to provide a fun and safe space for kids to discover their next favorite series or movie, or reconnect with a familiar face from a comedy series. in the beloved Boss Baby: Back In The Crib franchise, or an animated adventure movie with a new cast and lovable characters like Back to the Outback.
