- Abstract
In this paper, we designed a game called Cyber Labyrinth: Shadows of Violence, which aims to leverage the interactivity, immersion, and narrative qualities of games to educate and raise awareness about the dangers of cyberbullying. We proposed a targeted evaluation dimension and method for assessing the educational effectiveness of game-based learning on the topic of cyberbullying. Using methods such as the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ), we conducted comprehensive interviews, surveys, and qualitative analyses, followed by data analysis. The results demonstrate that our proposed evaluation dimensions are effective. Additionally, our serious game design has proven to offer superior educational outcomes in raising awareness and educating about cyberbullying compared to previous educational methods.
