Client:
The Raz-e Methane game was developed by PARS SAWA for Khorasan Razavi Gas Company.
The main objective of this project was to teach energy-saving and efficient energy consumption to children and adolescents through an interactive and engaging game.
The game was recognized nationally, earning 4th place in the 2020 National Serious Game Festival out of 75 selected entries.
Problem:
Traditional methods of teaching energy efficiency to children are often passive and non-interactive, leading to limited engagement and understanding.
The main challenge was to turn complex energy-saving concepts into a fun, interactive, and educational experience that motivates children and adolescents to learn and retain important lessons about energy consumption.
Process:
The design team focused on the 7–14 age group and developed the game as a Point-and-Click adventure.
The game includes six progressive levels, where successful completion of each level unlocks the next stage.
In every level, a hidden letter (clue) must be found, and by collecting all letters throughout the game, players uncover the final secret word.
Key design considerations:
- Each stage is both educational and challenging
- Children gradually learn the concepts of energy efficiency
- Motivation and sense of achievement are reinforced in every stage
- The interface is simple and child-friendly for intuitive gameplay
Solution:
The final product, Raz-e Methane, is an educational and entertaining game that enables children and adolescents to learn energy-saving practices in an interactive way.
The game:
- Makes learning about energy consumption fun and engaging through multiple levels
- Encourages discovery and curiosity
- Serves as an effective tool for raising awareness and promoting energy-efficient behavior
By combining game mechanics with educational content, Raz-e Methane provides a successful example of serious gaming for environmental education and demonstrates the impact of interactive learning tools on young audiences.
