Problem
With online schooling becoming the new norm, building and maintaining friendships have become harder than ever. First years and transfers have completely lost their experience on campus and undergraduate students are struggling to connect with one another online. It was apparent that all students were facing some form of isolation and loneliness, damaging their desire to stay in touch.
Goal
To empower others to stay connected, our team collaborated to design and develop a virtual gaming experience that would facilitate student relationships in quarantine. We wanted to build an enjoyable and interactive platform where everybody could experience the campus, in hopes of bringing people together and communities closer.
