This is exciting! I hope you'll tell us how to find the game when it is completed. Maybe our group needs to sponsor a media campaign on rights to play!

Yes!
In the '90's I experienced current events whereby children had no say in a
court of law effecting them. As a parent all I wanted was for the judge to
listen to my children but was told "they had no rights" children were
divided like assets in divorce cases, regardless of domestic violence. I
was protected by law but my children "had not rights." I learned many many
more children go through this every day and are subjected to whatever the
courts and counties rules are despite our federal legislation stating we
are all entitled to freedom of speech. Age is not protected.
 
Subsequently, I found that the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
ratified by ALL UN countries except the US in fact, states freedom of
speech and expression is a right of children as listed by articles 12 & 13
in the CRC treaty. When educating youth about this at a summit, they asked
"Why don't more people know about this?" I used Sandra Day O'Connor's
iCivics.org *Do I Have a Right *game to teach students in my schools about
their rights and responsibilities, but am completing an immersive 3D video
game for pro-social change next spring called *A Way Home! *for adults to
disseminate crowd-sourced scenarios to adults to answer the teenager's cry
of "Why don't more people know about..." the fact that the CRC upholds
rights for children and the US has not yet ratified it. Still a current
event, twenty-five years since it's been ratified by all other nations but
the US.
 
Thanks for asking.
-Suzanne

Serious game enthusiasts!
We’ve finally brought our serious game to life in a VR environment! Our project aims to develop a game for pro-social change designed to disseminate information and motivate a call to civic action to significantly improve the welfare of children. The purpose of this survey is to measure the impact of this game. Please take a moment to 1) play our game (with a VR headset) and 2) complete the post-survey. Gameplay can take ~20 minutes, and the survey should take under 10 minutes. Thanks so much for your consideration and time!
