Game 1: SPENT

• How you felt playing each game: I felt very passionate about the game but not on the first attempt, so the second time I played this game, I felt like I was in the person’s shoe and not playing it as if I am my own self.

• What you learned playing each game: I learned that there are much bigger problems than what we have and that we should be grateful for everything we have.

• One suggestion for improving each game: I would make the game shorter.

Game 2: BBC Syrian Refugees

• How you felt playing each game: I didn’t really like this game because the questions were a bit vague and didn’t make me feel in the situation.

• What you learned from playing each game: This game broadened my knowledge about how these refugees are suffering and every small decision they take will affect them in their future.

• One suggestion for improving each game: I would suggest they add more options to the answers.

Game 3: (professional) depression quest

• How you felt playing each game: I felt a bit overwhelmed and I also felt what was happening as if I was the one in these situations (not the game).

• What you learned from playing each game: sometimes simple decisions like going out or staying in might be easy for you however they aren’t easy at all for someone else. to understand people’s decisions without having to understand the real reason behind them or to question them every time they do not.

• One suggestion for improving each game: I felt like the game was very long and this made me get bored at the end which may have affected my choices in the answers.

Game 4: (Professional) October 1st, 2020 

• How you felt playing each game: I felt that this game was very realistic and that many professors might have been going through all this and the universities weren’t lenient enough.

• What you learned from playing each game: I learned the things the professors were going through at the time and how hard it was for them.

• One suggestion for improving each game: the game was very nice and straightforward, I wouldn’t change anything.

Game 5: (student)Know Yourself

• How you felt playing each game: I liked the game and it made me realize that I might be a person that judges too fast.

• What you learned from playing each game: pause and think about many reasons why this is happening before assuming what’s in my head is right

• One suggestion for improving each game: I would make the game as a story instead of asking many questions unrelated to each other that weren’t happening simultaneously.

Game 6: (student) Peer Destruction, about body shaming

• How you felt playing each game: the game was interesting because I’ve never played a game that focused on body shaming, from two different perspectives (underweight and overweight)

• What you learned from playing each game: that underweight people get body shamed as much as overweight people however it’s not really seen in Egypt that they tend to bully overweight people more.

• One suggestion for improving each game: it is very short and it didn’t take us through more situations to actually feel what the person might have been feeling when they were body shamed.

A reflection comparing the 6 games with each other in whatever manner you like. This could be a visual, video, or any other form and it can be on any criteria they choose.

I would like to put a picture under each game to describe how I felt while playing each game
