game for the fire service

we have been set the task of creating a virtual game for the fire service to spread awareness about safety in the home, for the elderly, train tracks, beaches, rivers and for children. these games have to be very informative and at the same time simple and easy to understand at a primary school level and by the elderly who might not be as knowledgeable when it come to the virtual world.

i have been put into a team with ed and Amanda, the first thing that we did was list down all the items of the home that could be dangerous or cause a fire, at the same time was listed all the safety devices that help prevent a fire or extinguish it.

the first idea we came up with was to have a side scrolling game where you have to spot the dangers as you go through the level and when you get to the end of the game the game will give you a score depending how many you found and sorted.  one of these ideas included using different forms of fire extinguishers to put out different forms of fires.
