Brazil’s Team Signum Games has developed UCAN, a Serious Game that recrestes some serious society issues in a fun way. The eight goals of the millenium, as defined by UN, are the foundation of the game. These goals converge into the game via its core mechanics and inspired by volunteers work.
The game simulates Curitiba City (a major Brazilian city) and addresses urban problems involving health, education and the environment.
