Final

Goal of the game:

We wanted to create a game that would teach the children and adults in Kenya the importance of washing their hands and how/when to do so. They will learn the important times to wash their hands: before eating, cooking, and after doing some type of chore like changing a diaper. Students will learn that they should spend about 20 seconds washing their hands with soap and water. There will be music playing during that 20 seconds. It will teach them about how if they don’t wash their hands enough/correctly, they would probably get sick. There will be different kinds of germs on the hands that cause different diseases and things to happen if they aren’t washed off with soap and water.

How the game works:

Players will start by reading brief instructions on how the game works. After, they will learn about the different types of germs and their effects. Then a message will pop up describing a scenario that will cause someone to wash his or her hands. The player then starts washing his/her hands. First the player must tap the faucet  to turn on the water and then touch the soap to  “load up on soap.”  Players have 20 seconds per level to scrub all the germs off. All the leftover germs get added onto the hands for the next level. At the end of the rounds your score is added up and you win clean coins for how good of a job you did.You can then use the coins to buy better washing items in the store. These all have different power ups and cost different amount of coins. The red germs are worth 5 points. Yellow germs are worth 10 points. Blue germs are worth 20 points.
