The WasteRace is a digital car game designed to captivate children aged 6 to 12 in Australia, effectively combining entertainment with education. The game leverages the intrinsic appeal of interactive gameplay to create a learning experience that resonates with the target audience. By assigning different waste types to red, yellow, and green bins – corresponding to non-recyclable, recyclable, and organic waste respectively – players are incentivized to dispose of trash items correctly to earn speed points, propelling players towards their primary goal: driving the car to the recycling site by entering their preferred pincode, fueled by accumulated speed points, all within a time limit.
