StereoWiped is a social impact game that aims at engaging youth in breaking racial, gender and professional stereotypes and encouraging social diversity. Stereowiped stands as the first ever game targeting the prevailing issue of stereotypes.
Stereowiped stands inspired by the words of Confucius “Tell me, and I will forget, Show me, and I may remember, involve me, and I will understand” Games offer a platform to engage and involve in the process of building awareness. They are an interactive medium for information dissemination that moves away from brochures and pamphlets.
StereoWiped leverages the fun and interactive nature of video games to change attitudes by:
Providing a platform to trigger a social dialogue on stereotypes
Disseminating fun facts during game play
Suggesting concrete action steps for players to break stereotypes
