Disaster In My Backyard

During one of the courses in the bridging program of C-MD, I and Steven Thys (co-student) designed an alternate reality game (ARG) in crisis management. The project description was to develop an ARG for theoretical students in crisis management, so that they could experience a disaster at first hand. The goal of the game was to drop the unsuspecting players in a simulated disaster, forcing them to get a grip on the disaster by managing resources, rescue teams, victims and online data. For the project we worked together with MAD-Faculty, ISCRAM Summerschool, B-FAST, Campus Vesta and the University of Tilburg. We further developed the game during the summer of 2012 and eventually DIMB went live on August 20th.
