• W2023993676 abstract "The infl uenza virus has mutated once again, but this time, instead of jumping the species barrier, it has infected the digital domain. Rather than causing the usual discomfort associated with infl uenza, symptoms of this virus are more likely to include entertainment and education. Enter Killer Flu, a computer game that lets you play the part of H5N1. You have 180 days to infect as many people as possible on a quest to reach your pandemic potential. This game subtly teaches its player that becoming a widespread, phase six virus is no small task; use the wrong infectious strategy and your virulence quickly falls. Games like Killer Flu are part of a growing form of online media that tackle real-world issues. These games are called “serious games”—a term originally coined by the US Department of Defence as a more acceptable way to talk about war games with Congress and the public. Beyond raising awareness, serious games present important issues in a virtual environment and draw upon the player’s problem-solving skills. By placing issues within the setting of a computer game, challenging and sometimes hopeless real-world problems can be structured in a way that makes them manageable and more approachable. Another serious game, Evoke, is an online social networking game from the World Bank Institute. The game seeks to attract a community of members who embark on a series of missions to address issues such as famine, water scarcity, and the social and psychological eff ects of pandemics. Top players—those who contribute the most innovative solutions—can win online mentorships, funding for new ventures, and travel scholarships. Computer games that simulate medical environments are also used to overcome logistical barriers, providing new and engaging ways to train medical students. Killer Flu highlights the unique capacity of online games to directly communicate public health messages, particularly to the digital generation, in a way that appeals to the user’s competitive nature while compelling them to think about the complexities of disease transmission. There is potential for future versions of these games to include information on symptoms, vectors, and prevention. By educating, serious games might prove to be an eff ective device for allaying some of the fears and uncertainties that accompany disease outbreaks. However, it is important to be conscious of the fi ne line that exists between making health education fun and trivialising a potentially serious health risk. That aside, Killer Flu is an innovative, informative, and entertaining portrayal of the infl uenza virus." @default.
