WILL Interactive, Inc. (WILL) follows a corporate philosophy of “doing well by doing good.” A major component of WILL’s business philosophy is the company’s desire to create positive social change through the use of Virtual Experience Immersive Learning Simulations (VEILS®). In that vein, this Challenge is a call for entries for the creation of a VEILS® serious game simulation to address a pressing social issue. To learn more about WILL, Interactive, click [here].
VEILS® is an immersive technology that harnesses the engaging characteristics of game-based video simulations to capture the attention of individuals at a level that leads them to positive action. To learn more about VEILS® serious game simulations, and to view demo segments of VEILS® simulations, click [here].
Each winner of this Challenge will have the social issue identified in his/her/its Entry addressed through the development of a VEILS® game-based video simulation, and will receive, at no cost, the perpetual right to use the simulation. WILL will absorb all product development costs (approximate value = $500,000) to develop the VEILS® simulation. Winning Entrants will receive a royalty if the resulting simulation is commercialized, and organization Entrants will receive co-branding recognition on the simulation.
The winning Entrant(s) must actively participate in product development reviews and provide subject matter expertise for successful development of the winning simulation(s). Additionally, in order to help maximize the positive impact on the widest possible audience, proposals must contain a marketing and distribution plan that describes how the simulation will be disseminated and the Entrant’s prior experience relevant to the marketing and distribution of learning products.
