PROTEIN POWER
(E-learning game to assist knowledge transfer)
This interactive game is embedded within a lesson about protein. The goal was to teach users how much protein is in their food. We didn't want users to be looking at a chart, we wanted them to remember the information so a short game was in order.
When launched, the user first chooses their weight in either pounds or kilograms. Reminded that they need exactly the same amount of protein in grams as their own body weight, the user clicks on food items to eat them. The user clicks "stop" as close to 0 as they can... the goal being to reach your target protein intake in one day.
When asked to play the second time, there is a challenge mode which hides the protein amount for each food item. This allows people from different skill levels to check their memory about protein content.
