Summary
From finance to construction and healthcare, custom impact games have helped train people in a broad range of industries in ways that are fun, engaging, and which help people better retain the information that they've learned.
We also know that games can be extremely useful when it comes to training the officials who are charged with protecting our oceans.
In response to the programme's goals, we created FishForce: Bridge Inspection - a game that simulates the daily routine of a fisheries crime officer.
Through the course of the game, players are taken through various scenarios, such as permit inspections, how to properly inspect a vessel, and filing out the correct documentation for reporting a crime.
In many ways, the game transforms training into a detective experience underpinned by fun and curiosity.
Aiding the development of those skills is the fact that every item in the game is part of the open inspection sandbox, and it's up to the player to decide which actions are most relevant to them and their mission.
Of course, we know that a single game isn't going to save South Africa's oceans on its own.
