Weekend game jams for healthier players
Games [4Health] Jams challenged participants to create games in a weekend that make people healthier. Players could improve health through physical activity, reducing stress, or easing cognitive discomfort.
The jams brought together multidisciplinary teams from across the Netherlands. They designed games for public spaces, swimming pools, and more. Each jam focused on a different theme, from revalidation to prevention and mental health. Prototypes were tested quickly to see what worked in real life.
Past editions included Revalidation (2010), Prevention (2011), Public Play (2012), Sink / Swim! (2013), and It’s Mental! (2014).
