Each step in the process is a different screen, and each screen has three “educational points” revealed through hidden clues.

The screen designs are metaphorical. For example, “communicate the urgency” has the character bobbing in a jar of water and sending out a rescue alert

Although we didn't approach this like a traditional game (with a game design document that outlined the intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors and general game play), it was well received. The project was approached more like a web app, where we identified the key persona needs and, through a series of brainstorms and character discussions, built out each screen.
