TARGET
GAME project is motivated by the need to advance anti-doping education intervention targeting competitive and recreational athletes. The project’s consortium recognizes the need to move forward and transform the way anti-doping education is designed, delivered and evaluated.
TARGET is mainly a telltale serious game using realistic scenarios in order to engage users in critical situations which will help them to change behaviors and perspective towards anti-doping awareness. To this direction, the game classifies users into amateur and elite athletes, offering four different scenarios in each level, corresponding to four different learning indicators (knowledge, self-efficacy, moral displacement and attitudes). Each scenario describes a unique story where the user has to take critical decisions and make the appropriate choices, in order to succeed and score as many points as possible.
The game consists of the login page, where each user must fill her/his personal credentials to login to the platform, the level selection screen, where she/he can choose from different scenarios, the actual stories where the main games- scenarios take place and the score screen with user’s scores and users leaderboard as shown in the video above.
The evaluation results of the users' evaluation have shown us that the users found the game easy to use, easy to learn and satisfactory. Moreover, the results indicate that the game offers enjoyment to the players.
