Client brief: Road Safety Computer Game
You have just started work for a well-established company that specialises in creative and
educational electronic games. The company has been approached by a road safety
organisation, who would be interested to see how games could be used to promote the
launch of a new road safety campaign. They are not aware of any games on the market that
do this.
You have been asked to submit a design proposal for one level of a new game based on
teaching children how to use the roads safely. The game must have clearly defined
objectives by which the child playing it can progress through to higher levels. There must be
a scoring and time tracking system. The game must also be instructional in how to use the
roads safely.
The target audience for the game is children aged between the ages of 6 and 10. The game
is to be played on touch enabled devices.
The campaign is due to be launched in four months’ time. The game needs to be ready for
this launch. If you are given the go ahead for the project, you will have three weeks for pre-
production and then ten weeks for game development.
Activity 2
For this activity, you will again be working with a partner.
Using the internet to help you with your research:
1. Identify the locations that will be required for the Road Safety Computer Game project
2. For each location, explain what consent/releases you will require (if any)
3. Identify the resources that will be required for the project
4. For each of the resources, identify how it will be sourced i.e. purchased or rented/hired.
