In 90 Days 4+

In 90 days, your team must respond effectively to an unfolding humanitarian disaster.

Every decision you make as a Field Manager is a balance of timing and resources.

Whether working with communities displaced by climate change, responding to civilians caught in the crossfire of a violent conflict or addressing a rapidly escalating pandemic, the game provides an authentic challenge for humanitarian workers of all experience levels.

In 90 Days is designed to explore the trade-offs and challenging decisions humanitarian field managers face while responding to crises. Learners can choose from 3 distinct scenarios and earn digital badges via HPass to demonstrate learning. Learners have to choose between limited resources and competing pressures to alleviate suffering in the most sustainable way.

The game has been designed with a group of subject matter experts ranging from senior humanitarians, learning and development experts, and learning game design professionals to ensure authenticity in content, coherent learning outcomes, and playability within the context of learning and adult education principles. There has also been a thorough integration of diversity and inclusion from content that is gender responsive to an accessible interface.

Available in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish, scenarios unfold differently each time they are played, providing an ongoing challenge for committed players as well as additional badges. Learning outcomes and featured behaviours are structured on the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability and the Core Humanitarian Competency Framework, to guide players through the game.

The game was developed by Save The Children UK’s Humanitarian Leadership Academy, and BAFTA-winning game studio PRELOADED.
