Children across Australia are teleporting to Jakarta, Ubud and Aceh to learn more about Indonesian life.
They're at the forefront of new diplomatic efforts to build relationships between the two countries.
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has released its first ever game, Next Door Land, aimed at teaching Australian and Indonesian children about each other's culture.
Diplomats at the Australian embassy in Jakarta wanted to find a more fun and meaningful way to engage with Indonesians as part of their digital diplomacy efforts.
They developed the idea for a game in conjunction with Australia Indonesia Youth Association president Nicholas Mark, who has written a children's book in Bahasa.
Mr Mark says it's great to see DFAT recognising this kind of activity can also be diplomacy.
In the game, players can explore different cities in the two countries, reading comics to learn about landmarks and culture.
There are mini-games with activities like dodging traffic in Jakarta, running a race over Sydney Harbour Bridge or learning how to play traditional instruments.
"If an Indonesian in Jogjakarta or north Sumatra is playing this, they'll get that bit more familiar with Australia and it doesn't seem so foreign," Mr Mark told AAP.
"They'll say that's what those people look like, that's what those places look like, that's what they do down there.
"It's very innocent, fun way of introducing that rather than what would normally take something like a TV show or a big bit of literature or a heavier bit of education."
He'd like to see DFAT making more games and apps.
The department is pleased with the take up of the game so far.
Next Door Land can be played either in English or Indonesian and study guides are available in both countries so teachers can use it in conjunction with their regular curriculum. It's available for iOS and Android devices.
