Serious Game After Party

After Party is an edutainment serious game that raises awareness around alcohol consumption and drunk driving. By combining a popular theme, it was possible to engage the target group of young adults and deliver a serious message.

Realization

The game app has been developed by Gbanga Millform AG together with Gestalt Kommunikation AG for The Federal Office of Public Health and bfu, the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention.

Gameplay

The game is a horizontal scroller where players have to walk home after a long party night. While walking, the player has to avoid cocktail glasses, beer bottles, wine glasses and other obstacles. Picking up alcohol by mistake increases the “virtual” drunkness of the player and increases an unprecise walk and vision blurs more and more.

To compensate the drunk level, one can answer urban myths around alcohol and drunk driving.

There are many eastereggs such as intersections to new streets, shortcuts and mini-games throughout the game.
