A Serious Game Designed to Simulates Coronavirus Transmission

Abstract

This paper describes REACTION, a serious game design that attempts to simulate how the coronavirus is transmitted to the university environment. REACTION intends to use the potential of the game players to answer the following important questions. Who should be vaccinated? When should lockdown be applied? and how many people should be allowed to enter university? The university environment designed by agent-based modeling and the transmission of coronavirus has been simulated using the susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered model. Therefore, in a relatively similar environment to the real world, players can test and play how to deal with the coronavirus. The findings indicate that it was effective to model how the virus is spread to universities. So, in the comparatively real world, game players could solve real problems.
