What Are Serious Games?

The key difference between serious games and commercial games is the purpose. Serious games (or applied games) have objectives outside of being fun, such as education, research, and social impact.

Studies show that serious games appeal to our intrinsic human motivational needs and have the power to tap into our brain and motivate behavioural change, trigger emotional responses, and create memorable user experiences.

Impact Isn't Optional

No one wants to waste money on a project that doesn't meet its goals.

We always start by identifying objectives, creating a framework to measure impact, and designing an approach that will get results above all else. No bells and whistles until we meet those targets!

Bleached Az

The original creators were set to launch the newest installment to the Beached Az franchise, dedicated to the promoting ocean health awareness and addressing climate change issues. We jumped at the opportunity to team up to create a game for good that motivates players to actively contribute to environmental conservation through an interactive and engaging new platform.

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.
