How it all started
“Pandemia – Scrivi la tua storia” is a web game (usable from desktop, tablet and smartphone) developed by Synesthesia for students aged from 11 years. It is part of a path of awareness and scientific dissemination designed and promoted by Fondazione Umberto Veronesi as a part of its broader commitment to young people to explore the issues of public health, infectious diseases and vaccines.
Through a digital simulation, the youngsters have to take on the role of policy-makers. The mission is to manage a new unknown infection, delving into the dynamics of an epidemic and the fundamental aspects of preserving everyone’s health..
Once the game is over a score is established that measures the effectiveness of the choices taken.
The solution
“Pandemia – Scrivi la tua storia” was fully developed by Synesthesia. The game was designed to meet specific needs: for instance, it can be completed in a limited time and is part of a broader educational journey.colato.
Creation and development process involved a team comprising a creative director, a project manager, a developer, a graphic designer, and a game designer. The game’s architecture is complex: each scenario challenges the player to think in different ways.
Throughout the game, players can make different choices based on the events presented.
Results
“Pandemia – Scrivi la tua storia” is part of an educational program by the Umberto Veronesi Foundation (the “Io Vivo Sano – Public Health and Epidemics” workshop), with digital workshops organized in May 2021 in schools across Italy. Approximately 3,000 students, 100 teachers, and more than 70 schools participated. At the end of the activities, around 500 online feedback questionnaires were collected. The results exceeded expectations in terms of both engagement and visibility.
As a result, a further development of the project was decided to improve certain aspects and add new features. The 2.0 version of the game was launched on October 6, 2021.
