Inspiration

Our game, 78, is inspired by the idea that individual health has a social component. We want to bring together the people that exist in your life -- friends and family members -- and focus groups, for folks who are predisposed to disease. We created the game to simulate a betting style game to incorporate how different individuals may have a different incentive to work towards health outcomes

What it does

78 is a game that simulates how environmental factors confound with genetic and behavioral traits to increase or decrease rates of disease.

How I built it

78 is build upon many iterations of a betting concept to make the game have as many real components as possible. Financial and health incentives motivate players to perform differently.

Challenges I ran into

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Working with a cross disciplinary team and using all of our strengths
