Bringing knowledge to life

Enjoyable gameplay with a clear learning objective

Serious Games combine entertainment with a purpose beyond play: sharing knowledge, explaining connections or opening up new perspectives. Players actively engage with a topic, make decisions and experience their effects within the game.

Dutyfarm helps companies, agencies, associations and educational organisations turn their content into an accessible game experience. We start with your objective: what should your audience discover, practise or understand better? From there, we develop the right combination of content, game mechanics and design.

When content and game mechanics work together

A quiz can test knowledge and deepen understanding through explanations. A puzzle invites players to recognise connections. A simulation lets them explore decisions and their possible consequences. We choose mechanics that support your topic and make the content a meaningful part of the game.

Gamification elements such as tasks, progress indicators and immediate feedback provide guidance. They make goals and results visible and can encourage players to keep going. We adapt the scope, language and difficulty to the audience and the context in which the game will be used.

For awareness, education and training

From consumer knowledge and social issues to training content and internal processes, Serious Games can make complex subjects accessible and encourage a change of perspective. They work in information campaigns as well as learning programmes, events and employee development.

Our HTML5 games run directly in the browser on smartphones, tablets and desktop computers. Together, we plan integration into your website, portal or learning environment. We address accessibility, content management and reporting requirements to suit your project.

Ways to create your Serious Game

• Tailor-Made: A proven game foundation adapted to your project with your content, imagery and messages – for example, a quiz with your own questions or a memory game with images relevant to your topic.
• Custom Games: A bespoke game concept for specific learning objectives, stories or processes. We use proven mechanics where they fit and develop new interactions or features when your content calls for them.

Project example: “Surfer haben Rechte”

For the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband e. V.), Dutyfarm conceived and developed the Serious Game “Surfer haben Rechte – Verbraucherrechte in der digitalen Welt” (Internet users have rights – consumer rights in the digital world). The project illustrates a practical use of Serious Games: exploring consumer rights through a digital game experience.
