Using Emirati characters, in a UAE-themed world, a virtual game aims to instil good values in children after it was launched by the Ministry of Interior (MoI).
After customising a male or female character wearing either an Abaya or Kandoura that are available in different styles, users can navigate within a city full of Emirati monuments as they play the Smart Aqdar City game.
On the journey to collect dirham-coins, players are faced with challenges and are constantly encouraged to keep going as they explore mosques and other historical structures.
Throughout the different levels, information boxes constantly pop-up on the screen for users to read — thus shedding light on many UAE-centric details in addition to scientific facts and Islamic teachings.
Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, said that the game aims to promote national, traditional, educational and health awareness while fighting crime.
