Prototype of a Serious Game for Peace Construction in a Colombian Context

Abstract

This article presents a prototype of a serious video game directed to the construction of peace in the Colombian context. We ask participants to identify themselves with a made-up profile, and collaborate with people that are different to their profile. In this indirect way, we pursue the construction of peace by encouraging the conversation among people with different points of view. Preliminary user studies show that our prototype encourages collaboration among participants.
