Passages Game
A simulation game designed to create better understanding of the problems facing refugees. Participants go through a number of steps which attempt to simulate the refugee experience, from flight to arrival in the refugee camp as well as the difficulties of integration and repatriation of refugees.
Against All Odds is an interactive online game created to increase students’ awareness and knowledge about refugee situations by putting players in the position of a refugee. Divided into three categories –“War and Conflict”, “Borderland”, and “A New Life” - Against All Odds takes players on a journey ultimately towards asylum, but also touches on issues of understanding and intuition in different environments. Players will be challenged by a variety of obstacles and scenarios simulating struggles refugees are forced to deal with every day, from sneaking out of town to dealing with prejudices in a new place. http://www.playagainstallodds.com/
