Minority

Our game conveys the idea that the same job pays differently depending on one's race and gender. By trying the game multiple times, players discover that the game is easier or harder to win depending on the race and gender they choose at the beginning of the game. The premise of the game is mining for gold in a volcano. The player is a miner who is collecting gold while avoiding being consumed by the rising lava. After each job, the player receives an income that can be spent on a better tool to mine. The five levels increase in difficulty as the lava rises faster and the necessary amount of gold to mine increases. We hope that players will notice the income discrepancies and be encouraged to learn about the pay gap and promote equal pay.
