Strengthen recruitment

Recruiting suitable candidates with a serious game.

The Air Combat Command course is deploying this serious game on werkenbijdefensie.nl to provide interactive insight into the Air Force's diverse work field. In a true-to-life simulation, you will learn about the contribution of various roles at the air base, from monitoring to intercepting. How well you play gives an accurate insight into various skills, such as attentiveness and accuracy. This serious game helps Defence and its recruiters reach a broad target group and find motivated candidates.

National campaign

Innovative campaigning with Augmented Reality

Greenpeace campaigns for the Antarctic Sea, the habitat of penguins. Together, we came up with the innovative concept behind King Penguin AR- in this serious game, you go in search of penguins in your neighbourhood. Here you learn more about the threat to their habitat and can sign the campaign, directly from the app. On April first, this serious game was launched nationally by Greenpeace, resulting in thousands of players and signatures.

Good references for successful collaborations.

Aniek Breevoort

Productmanager

"Since early 2021, Netwerk Mediawijsheid has partnered with DTT for the serious game MediaMasters. In a very short lead time (6 months) DTT has developed a completely new version of MediaMasters including teacher portal, content management system, website and the game environment itself. They did this very competently with an eye for detail and planning. DTT is a party that is good at thinking along with what is needed, acts adequately and is very reliable. They also provide good service on the build and have a high response speed if assistance is needed. We are therefore very pleased with this cooperation."

Han van Egmond

Core Manager

"DTT happily surprised us by developing this app, Operation Pure. The game, like Pokémon GO, can be played with Augmented Reality in public spaces. The game is educational, you can play alone, but also with groups against each other. For example, you can add schools and or sports clubs in the app to compete with each other. We think it can make a great contribution to raising awareness of litter among youth. DTT helped us super with the development of the app. They think creatively, come up with solutions and are ready to answer our questions. Together we expressed our intention to further develop the app."

Online Campagner

"A super fun interpretation of our campaign to make the South Pole a protected marine reserve. By combining this scavenger hunt with information about the animals and their endangered habitat in the South Pole, awareness is created in a playful way. And that is exactly what we wanted. Congratulations again on the speed with which you have brought this great app into the digital world. I experienced it as a very pleasant cooperation. We are extremely happy with the end result!"

Marieke Duijn

Communication advisor

"DTT helped us a lot in our search for what eventually became the HHNK Clean Water game. A fun competitive and informative game. The creative and approachable staff at DTT and their quick action during the development process positively surprised us!"

Frequently asked questions about serious games

What is a serious game app?

toggle-button

A serious game app is a digital application designed to use gaming techniques for educational, training or behaviour-changing purposes. Besides entertainment, a serious game focuses on conveying specific knowledge, training skills or influencing behaviour. Inform, stimulate, reward and more: with a serious game, we build an interactive experience that stays with the user. We purposefully deploy the power of gamification to make more possible.

Can DTT develop a serious game for both iOS and Android?

toggle-button

DTT develops serious game apps for both iOS and Android. Using modern development techniques such as Unity and Flutter, DTT ensures that games function seamlessly on both platforms. This cross-platform approach ensures a wide reach and consistent user experience, regardless of the user's device. To know more about the varied techniques, read the article: ‘Technology: Web, Native, PWA or still Flutter?’.

What are the costs of having a serious game created at DTT?

Can DTT convert an existing game into a serious game?

DTT can convert an existing game into a serious game by adapting game mechanics and content to achieve educational, training or behavioural change goals.

What are the opportunities for AR and VR in serious game development at DTT?

toggle-button

DTT offers extensive opportunities for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in serious game development.

As in the serious game ‘Smart Logistics’, where the game uses AR and gives insight into the challenges of logistics in a playful way.

Also, the serious game ‘King Penguin’ for client Greenpeace protects the Antarctic Sea with Augmented Reality. To gain extra attention for protecting the Antarctic Sea - the habitat of penguins - this AR serious game makes it interactive and informative.
