Full Description
The SeriousPolicy Game sets the player on a mission to win Treasury funding for a new policy. Players can get advice from Tony Blair, get on Alistair Darling's nerves, or get congratulated by the PM. Along the way you wander through a virtual Members’ Lobby, pop into a simulated Treasury and are summoned to a stunningly realistic digital Number 10. A Paris Hilton look-alike provides some light relief and the MC has more than a passing resemblance to Keira Knightly. But this isn’t satire. It’s designed as an example of how computer games can be put to serious use - for both citizen engagement and education. This game aims to: Demonstrate how political processes and decision making can be brought to life in a fun and interesting way through a virtual world Highlight to players, whether they be citizens or policy makers, the importance of public engagement in the decision-making process
