The Warrior in You
The Warrior in You is a game design that creates a safe space for students to practice and explore healthy coping mechanisms. It also enables parents to understand their kids better through their game choices. The game successfully abstracts the real-life challenges students face by blending them into the fantasy world of warriors on a quest. The true essence of the project lies in the gamification of coping means that help students build essential attributes such as problem-solving, decision making, and empathy to tackle stressful situations in life.
