Excessive Drinking Prevention Game

Video Game (PC)

2D movement (like Kahoot!)

This is a quiz game for a group of 2-8 people. It aims to enhance young people’s proper drinking
customs as well as spreading knowledge about drink while they enjoy the game.
On the screen appear quizzes regarding drink (including not only general knowledge but also
fun facts), and each player sends answers using their smartphones. Each player accumulates
their points depending on their accuracy and speed of each answer. While they answer quizzes,
they also drink alcohol whose amount is customized for each player after each quiz.
A checklist to tell their state (how drunk they are) appears regularly in between quizzes, and
depending on the answer to it, the game assigns different amounts of alcohol (or water) to each
player so that they can learn how they should adjust the amount and pace depending on their
state.
After the game is over, the screen shows the amount of alcohol each player has drunk in total,
their pace, and advice on their ideal drinking amount/pace.

Content: learn a proper way to drink, develop reasoning skills

Anticipated players: students who are starting drinking (especially for college students in their
freshman/sophomore year)

Purpose: learn proper amount/pace of drinking for themselves before students start socializing
with alcohol and decrease the risk of alcohol related incidents among college students

Additional features for upgrading: Each player puts on a digital wrist band that can measure
their heart rate, body temperature, etc. Once it detects those beyond a certain level, the player
is considered to be too drunk and is assigned an appropriate in-game task to recover.
