Strategic Shootout
We designed and created an educational game to coincide with the World Cup.
Working with academics we explored the idea of examining a player’s traits and experience to scientifically determine whether or not player selection will influence the probability of winning a penalty shoot out. The game is also social, allowing users to challenge a friend through social media channels.
The educational content of the game is reinforced via feedback provided at the end of the shootout, which encourages users to replay using the scientific justifications given for positive or poor performances.
