A Race Against Time – Serious Games in Sydney
A Race Against Time is a serious game, structured as a treasure hunt in Sydney. Imagine the following: “Its May 10, 2025. The world is in turmoil. We know that there were opportunities to stop this happening back in 2009. What we don’t understand is exactly what these things were. You have been chosen to research some of the things that led to the demise of society. You have been chosen to locate these trends and events and help us change the direction of Sydney. Watch out for the spies located around the city. The countdown begins.”
The game which has been recently developed by a team of great young people who met at the Serious Game Workshop on 18th April 2009 is based on low tech around social awareness.
The Designing Serious Games Workshop was organised by Vibewire and facilitated by Janine Cahill, Future Journeys.
Janine Cahill is a Serious Game Designer and contributed with this workshop to the Vibewire’s 2009 e-Festival of Ideas, which takes place from 4-10th May 2009. One of the live events during the festival is the developed game A Race against Time.
Come and join us for an afternoon of fun!
