Welcome to Condom City is a game application for tablets and mobile phones that raises awareness about sexually transmitted diseases (STD) to young audiences. In this game, we try to visualize intricate STD data in a gamified way, which draws you into the game by declaring you as the condom city protector, your main goal is to cure the infected and prevent the spread.
In progress, the game will throw out some teasers that will try to gain your attention. We design 50 different "condom buildings" for 50 U.S. states, the height of each building is decided by the STD rate of each state. By continuing play different levels of the game, you can unlock more condom buildings and build your own condom city. As a reward, you can also get real special condoms.

DATA ANALYST
According to the chart for Chlamydia in the year 2014 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, We can obviously see that there is a high concentration in the age range between 20-24.

DEFINE PROBLEM
Teenagers don't have enough awareness of STD.
Researches have shown that young adults, especially UNDERGRAD STUDENTS are the most severely affected population. They are full of ambition and energy, they are trying to get out of parents' supervision, they unlock the full access to online dating and begin to seek for "diverse experience", their curiosity about sex, the lack of health knowledge... all these factors make them an at-risk group.
Energetic and Liberal
Online Dating
Curiosity
Lack of Health Knowledge

HOW MIGHT WE
How might we improve teenager STD knowledge through a game?
Not in the educational way that wastes time for the instructor and students, nor the fear tactic that only gives one-stop thinking. We want to create content that will easily attract students in a gamified way, and later trap them with data visualization that creates lasting value and curiosity.
Educational + Fun
Social Connection
Lasting Value

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Among all the sketches, we decided to choose "condom building" and "simple tapping game" as our initial idea.

SCAN THE QR CODE TO DOWNLOAD GAME
“From this year, we decided not to waste students' time to give STD awareness lectures and not provide condoms in a bowl in the school clinic. Instead, we will be doing all this through a phone game. I promise you the game is short and addictive and gives out 50 different kinds of condoms”
