Hotel Pluhz


Many people with a chronic illness refrain from forming healthier lifestyle habits. They tend to visit the hospital more often, resulting in higher health-care costs. To reduce these costs, these people have to be motivated to improve their lifestyle. One way to achieve this is to make a video game that rewards them for doing activities that promote healthier habits. This project researches the viability of a game whose main focus is not on living healthier. Instead, players can receive in-game bonuses by completing real life challenges which promote a healthier lifestyle. These challenges are created by practitioners using a secondary application that communicates with the game.
