The aim of this chapter is to determine whether the Serious Game is a human invention. To answer this question, we propose to check whether both Serious Game and Serious Play can be found in the animal kingdom. If such a census proves negative, then we can conclude that the Serious Game could indeed correspond to a human invention. If this were not the case, then Serious Play would be better regarded as inter-species activities. This would then lead us to study whether it is possible to identify

This chapter presents two socio-technical systems that combine the use of serious games, especially digital ones, with design thinking. The aim of this approach is to test whether such a combination is possible. To this end, we conduct a comparative study of two serious games in which we were involved. Through a reflexive approach and by mobilizing surveys and field studies, the approach is not only feasible, but also allows for a good complementarity between game phases and design thinking. How

The purpose of this article is to propose a model to help trainers assess the player profiles they are likely to encounter among their learners. The goal is to maximize the chances of making an edutainment session as effective as possible. This approach resulted in a first iteration of a model. This model was built and derived based on statistical analysis of 1,126 individuals who completed a questionnaire about their communication personality, age, gamer profile, and weekly play time. Using thi
