This project involved working with the team behind the Roblox game Sky Farm Island to create tools that encourage families in Singapore—parents and kids alike—to participate in real-life vegetable growing. The goal was to integrate digital gameplay with hands-on, community-based agricultural activities, making vegetable growing a fun and rewarding experience for both children and their parents.
Key Design Features:
- 30-Day Growing Challenge:
- A structured challenge encouraging families to grow vegetables over a 30-day period, fostering engagement through clear milestones and daily tasks.
- Pledge and Commitment System:
- A tool for families to make a formal pledge to start growing vegetables, encouraging accountability and sustained participation.
- Step-by-Step Growing Instructions:
- Simple, easy-to-follow instructions guiding families on exactly what to grow, tailored for Singapore’s local climate and community spaces.
- Outreach Plan for Parent Groups:
- A targeted outreach strategy aimed at local parent groups to generate awareness and recruit families to join the growing initiative.
- Social Invitation and Sharing System:
- A social sharing tool for kids and parents to capture evidence of their growing efforts and share it with others in the community, creating a network of shared progress and support.
- Face Cut-Out Stands for Engagement:
- Fun, novelty stands where kids can take photos with their faces cut out, encouraging participation and spreading awareness through social media.
- Rewards System for Successful Growers:
- Families who successfully start and sustain their vegetable growing are rewarded with badges, certificates, or in-game rewards to motivate continued engagement.
This set of tools was designed to create a bridge between the virtual world of Sky Farm Island and real-world gardening, fostering both digital and physical community participation.
