Abstract

The project aims to develop an educational mobile game to reduce the 'culture shock' that a sojourner experiences upon arriving in a new country. This paper focuses on the early stage of the project and explains the design process involved in creating a prototype game. This game, which is presented on a mobile telephone, is targeted at international students studying in the UK.
