Mindful Mindy

Mindful Mindy

This is a prototype with the intentions of players learning stress management techniques because let's be honest, life is stressful! You will follow Mindy around on her usual Monday, but you will run into stress inducing scenarios like a pop quiz! When Mindy is stressed, you will need to complete stress management techniques to bring her heart rate back down so that she can continue on with her day, if completed correctly Mindy will be able to continue with her day, if not you will need to try again. 

Learning objective: After playing, the learner will be able to analyze which stress management techniques will work best for different situations, if not multiple, and complete them in the correct order.

Once you have downloaded the file and uploaded onto construct, you will want to start on the title screen tab. Using the mouse, hit the play button on that first screen which will take you to Mindy's classroom. Use the keyboard arrows to move around the classroom to bump into a stress inducing scenario. This will bring up another screen, where the quiz is blurry. Read what it says and then hit the play button again to complete the stress management technique, box breathing. On this screen you will use your mouse to hit the bubbles as they pop up on the screen working their way around the box breathing method. Once completed, you will be led to a clear quiz screen indicating Mindy's heart rate has dropped from using the stress management technique so that she can take the quiz.
