TheBigOne

The BigOne is an educational disaster preparedness simulation game designed to help students learn how to respond effectively during natural and man-made emergencies. Developed as an academic capstone project, the game transforms disaster awareness into interactive, hands-on learning through realistic scenarios set within a school campus environment.

The game focuses on common disasters that frequently affect communities, particularly in disaster-prone areas, including earthquakes, fires, typhoons, floods, and volcanic ashfall. Instead of relying on passive learning, The BigOne allows players to actively participate in simulations where they must make quick, informed decisions to stay safe and complete objectives.
