An effectiveness scoring system for risk and uncertainty in serious games for natural hazards Open
Serious games (SGs) for natural hazards (NHs) can provide an artificial space for players to understand the risk they face through defined rules and quantifiable results. Here, we deduce a scoring system for natural hazard SGs to…
