What are Serious WellPLAY games as defined by the NIH?

In research and educational settings, a serious game is generally a game designed primarily for a purpose beyond entertainment, such as learning, practicing a skill, changing a behavior, or supporting a health-related activity.

A serious game can still be enjoyable. Its distinguishing feature is that the game experience has a defined objective beyond winning or passing the time.

For Peak Mind, this creates an opportunity to position WellPLAY as a collection of facilitated, purpose-driven play experiences.

How do others use these games in programming?

Others use these gaming opportunity to connect each game to a specific activity objective, a facilitation method, and an optional way to document the experience.

Here are eight program concepts worth considering:

Connection Through Play,
