• Feedback to date and evaluation plans

Game Style

• Game is a detective game where the player

investigates microbial problems.

• Player is presented with many ideas or theories

which are confirmed or contradicted by evidence.

• Story and puzzle based game
• Has “microbe vision” which allows player to see

bugs

• Can perform 3 mini-game tests which can be

used to identify microbes

Game Process

• Player is given missions by “Big C” who is the

boss.

• The player and Alyx (scientist) fly to locations
• They interview people and look for physical clues
• By finding clues, the story moves on.
• At the end of the mission, the player is asked a

series of questions by Big C that can be used to confirm knowledge gain

Game Back Story

• A call has come in to e-Bug HQ.
• A famous actor has fallen very ill and his security

people suspect a deliberate act of poison

• Big C dispatches the player and Alyx to

investigate.

Example Mockup

• Showing Learning Outcomes:
• Microbes are found everywhere even though you can’t

see them

• There are three types of microbe (B, V and F)
• Sometimes bad microbes can make us sick
• Don’t spread your bad microbes to others
• Also covers some food hygiene outcomes not in the

pack:

• Microbes can be found on our food and can transfer to

humans

• Cooking food properly can kill harmful microbes

Mission 1

• Mission 1 was basis of the demo.
• Set around a barbeque and covers:
• Hygiene
• Spread of infection
• Introduction to microbes

Mechanics

• Hand, Respiratory and Food Hygiene
• Infection can be spread through unclean hands
• Hand washing can prevent the spread of infection
• Infection can be spread through sneezing and coughing
• Sneezing or coughing in your hand can still spread

infection

• Microbes can be found on our food and can transfer to

humans

• Cooking food properly can kill harmful microbes

Mission 2

Mission 2

• Mission 2 introduces a ‘superbug’
• Aim is for the player to identify that in places where

there is high antibiotic misuse, resistant bugs are present

• Story starts off in an airport where one person

(Allison) was on a flight with someone sick with the bug.

• The player visits a site of good practice and a site of

bad practice and finds clues that show why the ‘bad’ practice is bad

• Later, the player performs a ‘mini game’ that shows

that the superbug is different because it isn’t killed by the normal antibiotics

Mission 2: Characters

• Allison (sporty girl)
• Emerges later on that she’s infected with the superbug

Mission 2: Characters

Dr Pia Diallo ( French Doctor)

• Town suffering from superbug
• Evidence in her office of in

appropriate antibiotic use

Mission 2 Characters

• Dr Emmet Brun (Danish Doctor)
• Example of good behavior with antibiotics

Mission 3

• Mission 3 connects poor antibiotic use to real

world behavior.

• The story involves
• Sports team fallen ill
• Sabotage suspected but not the case
• Allison (from last mission) stopped taking

antibiotics, causing her illness to come back.

• She gave water to sports team, spreading bug
• Her coach took her antibiotics for a virus and

now has bad diarrhea
