Introduction

As more roads are being constructed, more pedestrians are being exposed to cars and the increasing use of technology is not really helping with the future of road safety. The purpose of our game is to remind students and make them aware of the dangers of distracted walking. A few years ago, there was almost a very dangerous accident due to a student who was distracted. This happened as she had her earphones on and was on her phone and she was unable to see that the pedestrian lights had changed and did not hear the car coming. However, despite having this accident being told in school assembly as a warning, it is sad to see that many students are still seen on the busy roads on their phone or with earphones. Understanding that it is very difficult to enforce road safety with high school teenagers, we decided to make a game; simple enough for high school students to be interested which would allow us to convey our message in the process.
