Hi All, 
I am PhD student research game for health. I am looking for participants who are game designers/ developers / artist etc. Participant will be asked to play game for 10 minutes and then complete the respective questionnaire, which also takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Hi Noreena,

I tried the game. Stunning graphics. Music is great.
Game play is a little confusing. In the end, I just clicked around until the pointer changed, then clicked - so I really had no idea what I was doing or why.

I have two teen-age sons. Neither would get any "health" lessons from this game. In part, because the message is pretty mundane and too well-known (don't smoke, don't drink) and don't address issues that teen-agers face today. Most teens in the US already don't smoke. They can't legally drink until age 21.

More pressing issues - is vaping smoking? What health risks? why? Now that marijuana is legal, how should I modify my behavior, if at all, when using it (e.g., marijuana stays in the blood stream for days - weeks, unlike alcohol, which clears out of the system in hours).

I'd say...

Great effort and great start. Now, work on UI and relevance.

Thanks for letting me play!

Meghan

Can we still participate in the study or is it over?
