Objective and Motivation for making this game
As a product designer, my mission is to tackle real-world problems with innovative solutions. The inspiration for "The Jungle Puzzle Quest" came from my visits to a blind school, where I saw the need for more engaging and effective learning tools for visually impaired children. Additionally, observing the overreliance on smartphones for teaching basic concepts to young children highlighted the necessity for a more interactive and inclusive educational approach. This game aims to bridge these gaps by providing an engaging, tactile learning experience that is accessible to both visually impaired and sighted children. By combining embossed cards, RFID technology, and jigsaw puzzles, "The Jungle Puzzle Quest" fosters curiosity and learning in a fun and effective way, moving away from screens and traditional textbooks.
