Social distancing is an online game that is creating awareness of social distancing among children in this pandemic situation of COVID-19.
This game had over 10,000 plays in two days of its launch.
About the Social distancing
The game is a new online game launched for children to learn about how crucial social distancing is to deal with coronavirus infection.
The game is released by a university professor who also published the online game known as “Can You Save the World?” which aims to help children see the importance of social distance to save lives of many during the pandemic of COVID-19.
Aim of the game
The main objective of the game is to rescue around 7 billion people which the global population score.
According to the researched conducted, the reports say that the game encourages positive behaviour in society, which can be helpful for people in real-world too.
It is believed that the game teaches kids and adults to follow steps in a certain way in the game that automatically shifts to their real-life too.
The creators of the game believe that if health authorities and schools use this game, they can easily encourage students to follow social distancing in real life.
Gameplay
This needs players to control a particular avatar through a super busy street and then save lives by dodging cyclists, pedestrians, and people who are sneezing and all those surrounded by red zones.
The players can gather masks and then drop those masks for medical staff to save more lives.
The idea is to rescue as many lives as you can. When you continue to progress with the game, the score will shoot up to send a message that you are protecting yourself to protect many others.
Features of the game
This game comprises playful touches and players can purchase groceries along with toilet rolls as they faced a shortage in supply during the lockdown.
You will be fortunate in the game if you get a toiler toll, you will be able to accelerate your speed in the game. When you bump into someone, you will lose points. If you face multiple collisions, the game comes to an end.
Saving 7 billion lives means you attain the highest score (this is world population)
