Important results from the project
We started with ideas around an educational game that practice children´s abilities in their personal development which also are important for success in school. The result is a gaming concept: Spy University. As a spy student you receive training in capabilities such as how to observe things around you and describing them, analyzing the order of events and how they relate to each other, thereby also practicing the understanding of cause and effect. You will also interact with other students and relate to the rules of the school.
Expected long term effects
Children who have participated in the development of the game have shown great interest in it and we have received confirmation that they genuinly like it. An important market confirmation was receivd during the trade show Interactive SXSW in Austin where we presented the game and got feedback that we are spot on in our endeavors.
Approach and implementation
The development work was done in iterations and tested with children during the whole process. We produced gaming ideas and presented them to the kids. While playing we observed how they interacted with the game and the level of enjoyment. To complete the product we have prepared for a crowd funding campaign. A web page with a film has been produced for this purpose. The game will be developed as a mobile app and released in the normal sales channels.
