National Youth Week launches Don’t Turn A Night Out Into A Nightmare online game.
The Don’t Turn A Night Out Into A Nightmare online game was launched today as part of National Youth Week (March 28 – April 5 2009).
The game is fun, user-friendly and utilises cutting-edge digital technology to encourage young people to understand the repercussions of binge drinking.
Players negotiate their way through a typical Saturday night party and make important decisions about their drinking along the way. As their night evolves they will experience the direct onsequences of their decisions.
The game presents players with a variety of situations where alcohol, peer pressure and unacceptable behaviour can have dangerous social and physical consequences unless responsible decisions are made.
