Evaluation - Game

“Even though players may only have interacted with the game for a short time, most came to understand that a single-minded approach to the problem of staying alive in the game was less useful than some form of balancing the factors of health, money and education.

“According to our research, the central idea embedded in the game play, that no single factor accounts for success, appears to have been successfully communicated to the majority of players.”
