Getting There

The learning objectives of this game are to develop awareness of employment rights and responsibilities, relevant services such as immigration advice, employment training, housing, and cultural awareness.

• The game consists of a car journey through a town/city along which the player encounters topic-themed pop-quizzes at different locations on the route.
• The player views the journey from a map-view perspective and moves the car via the mouse.
• The player stops at three separate barriers en route, each barrier represents one of the three learning areas; services, employment rights & responsibilities and cultural awareness. The player is then asked a set of five questions.
• The player must successfully answer the quiz questions to progress through the game, along the map route.
• Once the three subject question sets have been answered, the player receives feedback by way of their score. Variety in repeated game play is achieved through randomized question selection.
• There will be links to relevant websites with additional information on employment rights and responsibilities, and other aspects of orientation, such as setting up a bank account, enrolling a child into a school, paying utility bills, etc. embedded into the game.
