A digital, shared-screen tabletop game for up to four players, designed as an interactive ecological communication tool. Players cooperate as migrating birds navigating a city of glass, weather and hidden dangers — learning about bird-window collisions not through text, but through what the game asks them to do: applying mitigation strategies, observing outcomes, collecting reports.
The design is grounded in three frameworks from interactive-learning research — stealth learning, procedural rhetoric and peer-to-peer cooperation. A comparative study against an educational video showed substantially stronger engagement and meaningfully higher real-world action intent, supporting the hypothesis that an argument made through rules can be more effective than the same argument stated as text.
