Amnesty the game
Encyclopedia
Amnesty - the game is a serious game
created in order to support Amnesty International
efforts to worldwide abolish the death penalty.
The game is a volunteer project, created from Hellenic Game Developers Association (HGDA) members in collaboration with Amnesty International Greek department.
The game focuses on six key countries that still retain the death penalty (USA, China, Mongolia, Belarus, Saudi Arabia and Iran).
The user takes the role of a special amnesty international agent that must coordinate his actions and resources in order to convince the public opinion and the Government of each country to abolish the death penalty.
In each of the six countries, a convicted to death prisoner awaits his execution and the user must abolish the death penalty on time in order to save his life.
While playing, the user can find information about Amnesty International actions around the world and how he can help to worldwide abolish the death penalty in the real world.
The game plays on any internet browser and on facebook so that the user can inform and invite his friends to play also.
