“…'The solution must benefit the player and the other characters'. (Vail 1997, page A21) Vail (1997) also indicates that girls are more task-oriented than boys, pointing to the success of the game Barbie Fashion Designer and suggesting that, rather than being turned off by computer technology, girls need applications to enable tasks relevant to their interests, for example educational software like Barbie that allows use of the computer as a creative tool. Similarly, others' findings (eg Kiesler et al 1985;Subrahmanyam et al 2001) point to the need for more educational games software that is designed to be consistent with feminine values and goals.…”

Background Choking is one of the causes of unintentional injury death. Gaining the knowledge of the first-aid procedure that has to be applied in case of choking can increase the chances of survival of persons with choking. Serious games can be a good channel for educating people about choking scenarios and the actions to be taken to save the persons with choking. Objective The objective of this study is to present and evaluate the effectiveness of a serious game designed to prevent choking and to promote the first-aid procedure that needs to be applied in case of choking. Methods In this study, we present a serious game as a set of minigames that reproduces the main steps of the protocol for the first-aid performed in choking. In the proposed game, the player acquires the role of a helper who has to save the person in a choking emergency by applying the main steps of the protocol. Time and score restrictions are imposed to pass each minigame. To test this game, we performed a pilot study with 48 high school students. Different tests were performed to assess the students’ preferences and their knowledge on choking before and after playing the proposed game. The obtained results were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test when a grade variable was involved and by using Fisher exact test when 2 categorical variables were involved. Results The findings of our study showed that the players enjoyed the game. No statistical differences were detected when considering the gender of the player, their preferences for video games, or their previous experience in choking emergencies. By comparing the knowledge of these students before and after playing the game, we found that all the indicators of the knowledge about how to act in case of a choking emergency were improved through this serious game. Conclusions The findings of our study show that the proposed game is a good strategy for promoting and teaching first-aid procedures in choking emergencies to nonexperts in this field.

“……precise and unforgiving, often lacking in creativity and having little connection to people. (Koch 1994, page 14) Vail (1997) reports that girls like games with a story-line that is based on reality, with realistic-familiar characters and emotional issues to resolve. She reports a conversation with Sheri Graner Ray, the product developer for a games manufacturer:…”
