GALA 2025 Games Competition & Exhibition: Book of Abstracts

Abstract

Welcome to the 2025 collection of abstracts for the Games and Learning Alliance (GALA) Conference’s annual Serious Games Competition and Exhibition. This volume is dedicated to showcasing the innovative and significant work featured in this year’s competition.
We proudly present creative and research-driven contributions spanning domains such as healthcare, education, virtual simulations and collaborative learning. Reflecting the 2025 theme “Games for Good,” this year’s entries demonstrate how serious games can drive positive change, fostering learning, inclusion, and social awareness across the Student, Academic, and Business categories.
Serious games continue to prove their power to educate, inspire, and empower players across fields and communities. This collection celebrates the diversity and creativity of the GALA community while reaffirming our commitment to advancing game-based learning and socially responsible design.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the authors for their dedication and imagination, to our expert jury for their careful evaluation and insightful feedback, and to the organizing committee for enabling this vibrant exchange of ideas.
As editors, we hope this collection captures the spirit of “Games for Good”, showcasing how games can make a difference, and it inspires future creators, researchers, and innovators in the field.
