You’ve probably already tried one of these methods to help you quit: e-cigarettes nicotine replacements (patch gum lozenges inhaler) medicine alternative methods (hypnosis acupuncture)… But none of them really worked for you? Why not try out a mobile game that was designed to help people let go of their tobacco addiction? ;-)
What’s Smokitten?
Smokitten is a serious game which aims to help smokers quit smoking. It also works for vapers and people who smoke cannabis cigarillos cigars pipes… Educational aims aside Smokitten is first and foremost a video game; that is an engaging tool that you’ll have fun playing and will enjoy coming back to time and again. Smokitten is part of Games for Change which are serious video games that promote social change.
What’s the idea behind the game?
In Smokitten you’re responsible for a virtual pet: a smoker kitten who wants to quit smoking for good! To help your kitten you’ll need to keep it occupied with the various activities on the island (running yoga fishing…). By playing the mini-games that will keep you busy and replace your cigarette breaks you’ll earn virtual money to buy plants trees and all kinds of other objects to personalise your island to make it prettier and greener.
Smokitten helps you fight your nicotine cravings track your progress and get support from the community by sharing your doubts and your victories! You’ll be able to connect with the other players through the app. Your children friends family and colleagues can send you personalised messages in order to help support you when you feel like you’re going to give in. Tobacco use often starts for social reasons so we think it’s important to use the same weapons to help with quitting!
If you stay strong for 222 days without smoking with Smokitten you’ll discover the island’s mysterious secret…
A game developed in partnership with experts and a whole community
To carry out this project we worked with the Centre Hygée (Centre for the prevention of cancer in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region) and the CIPRET Valais (an organisation specialising in addiction prevention). We are also supported by a community of over 400 people mostly women smokers who helped us raise over €25000 euros through our Ulule crowdfunding campaign. Our community helps us improve the game by providing feedback on a regular basis.
