Abstract

Interest in designing games to convey persuasive messages concerning human well-being is growing, but presents a number of challenges. A significant problem comes in connecting the gameplay with the persuasive intent. We show how the gameplay structure of "avatar development" in popular-role playing games can be applied to the design of persuasive well-being games.
