What is a serious game? Sample Clauses

What is a serious game?. A serious game is a computer game designed with a primary purpose other than just entertainment. Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, (2005) provide the following definition, “A serious game is a game in which education (in its various forms) is the primary goal, rather than entertainment”. An example of this is a driving simulator, used to practice driving ability. The aim of the game would be to improve driving skills in a safe, virtual environment order to enhance real world driving ability. Serious games are a method of delivering health messages or health benefits in an enjoyable and engaging way. For example, “Sickle Cell Terminator” (Folajimi, Istance, & Xxxxx, 2012) which was designed to provide an engaging platform to educate children in Nigeria about sickle cell disease and encourage self-care management. Xx Xxxxxxxxx’x Brain Training series (Nintendo, 2006) is a clear example of a serious game in the genre of brain training (see Figure 1). The user engages with an interface to complete a series of puzzle-type exercises with the goal of achieving points for performance. The appealing interface and in-game achievements are designed to motivate the user (engagement). By performing an element of the game successfully, they will receive points (a quantifiable outcome). If the user does not perform an activity correctly, they will not receive points or be able to progress to the next level (rules). A similar strategy will be utilised in DOREMI to train cognitive functioning using a series of cognitive training games.
