Are serious games right for me?

Serious games are an effective method for delivering a user experience that is measurable, repeatable, and scalable. They are great tools for changing behaviour, creating strong emotional memories, and giving first-hand experience of complex concepts.

We specialise in helping subject matter experts bring their vision to life. Together with our team of serious games experts, your next project can cover any of the following applications:
• Educational Games
‍• Social Impact Games

Seriously Successful Games

Bleached Az

The original creators were set to launch the newest installment to the Beached Az franchise. We teamed up to create a game for good that motivates players to actively contribute to environmental conservation.

Results:

• Awarded Best Serious Game at the Australian Game Developer Awards 2019.

• Player's have planted 250+ trees since October 2019. That's approximately 43k tonnes of CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere!

• A 4.9 Star rating across iOS and Android, an overwhelmingly positive response from players.

"The challenge to create a game with impact that could be entertaining in its own way, whilst also aligning with a web and documentary series was something I don't think any other company could have pulled off! This project was about combining environmental purpose with social popularity, and the ideas Chaos Theory brought to the table to created true, measured impact that was critical to the success of the app."

Working With Water

As part of Central Coast Council's Love Water campaign, we were tasked with developing a game to simulate the challenges of water management for the growing population of the Central Coast.

Results:

• Working with Water will be an additional teaching resource for science and geography teachers who teach students in stage 3 and 4.

• Increasing awareness about water management, infrastructure, restrictions and Central Coast Council services.

The project management style by Chaos Theory was top notch. What my team and I found most impressive about Chaos Theory was the professionalism of the team ... They provided solutions to issues rather than not looking at alternative solutions ... They had a constant focus to detail and the ability to learn about the project on a deeper level to create an amazing game.
