Reflection on Game Idea



  • WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)

I am mainly designing this game for kids and adults. Kids around the age of 8-17 years old. The player can enjoy the game by being very mature. I exclusively don't design this game for younger kids because they might not be ready for this, they wouldn't be able to understand. 

  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)

My game will teach the player about Teen Suicide. It will provide everything they need to know about it. It will teach them how?, why?, what? and who? What's the cause for this action. How we can help? and who it can affect?

  • WHERE does your game happen?
    • Describe the world you will design for your game.
    • How will this setting add to the learning experience?

My game takes place in school, home, bathroom, most of all a solitary world to a teen. A world where a bunch exist but a thought of no existence of somebody. This setting relates to the learning experience by being able to express yourself with your surroundings and world.  


  • HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
    • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
    • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?


In this world the player learns how to deal with his feelings and all the choices he has. Whether he chooses to go the right or wrong way towards life and future. It teaches them what to chose that is best for them. The actions that are caused help the player learn. The errors he commits make him learn and provide help to the player in actual life.


  • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

Kids now a days are more likely to understand something visually. A quiz may not provide information for them while answering questions but a game can guide them through. That way they can understand what is happening.
