Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore School (West) – 1^st Prize

Name of Game: Urgent Business

Write up: A playful twist on Snakes and Ladders, the game “Urgent Business” was designed to promote awareness of public restroom cleanliness. Players navigated a board where toilet paper replaced snakes, and dirty toilets replaced ladders. Educational cards provided practical hygiene tips, highlighted common mistakes, and guided player’s movement, making the experience interactive and memorable. This approach encouraged good hygiene habits and fostered a greater understanding of maintaining clean public restrooms.
