What are serious games? Serious Games (SG) are games designed for educational purposes more than pure entertainment, where “serious” refers to serious business purposes (LUDUS, 2012). Various profit and non-profit organisations, such as private companies, international organisations, public policy institutes, etc., use innovative learning methodologies through SG modelling in order to train their personnel.

 

How they work? Reasoning supporting these learning strategies concern reduction of costs associated to training courses, seminars and reduction in operating staff errors.

 

 

Serious games can save you money Employees under high levels of stress (typical in places where training is insufficient) cost 40% more than the average worker (Encyclopaedia of Business, 2nd Edition).
