There’s a new addition to the current crop of educational games from UNHCR (see below), so I thought that I’d provide a quick catalogue of the games that I’m familiar with. Please feel free to add any others in the comments section, and I’ll update the list.
- Against All Odds. The game that lets you experience what it is like to be a refugee from UNHCR.
- Stop Disasters. A disaster simulation game from the UN/ISDR.
- WFP Food Force (download). It’s up to you to save and rebuild the island of Sheylan with WFP.
- 3rd World Farmer. Puts you in the shoes of a family of farmers in one of the poorest areas of the world.
- Darfur is Dying. Players must keep their refugee camp functioning in the face of possible attack by Janjaweed militias.
- Ayiti: the Cost of Life. Your goal in this game is to help the Guinard family get an education and improve their lives.
- Disaster Watch.
- Prisoners of War. Among the Red Cross’s tasks are to visit prisoners of war (POWs) who are protected by the Geneva Conventions, and provide them with assistance.
- Peacemaker. Experience the joy of bringing peace to the Middle East or the agony of plunging the region into disaster.
- The Transaid Challenge. You are an African health worker, delivering services and supplies from health centres to villages that need them.
