Abstract

We describe the design process and implementation of the serious game MindSpace. MindSpace provides a playful setting for treating children with a variety of social and specific anxiety disorders. A modular approach is explained, taking a closer look on cognitive-behavioral techniques such as exposure tasks, psycho-education or coping techniques and how they are implemented within a game setting. Also, special focus is paid to the needs of our target group by putting a strong emphasis on usability and motivational factors and hence, therapy adherence.
