I. Kniestedt (Isabelle) | University of Twente

Bringing together skills from academia and development, I explore the ways in which the interactive nature of games can contribute to society. My passion lies in the unique potential of games as research instruments, as well as using the emotional impact of a well-designed game to stimulate thought and behaviour.

Hit 'n Run

A Mobile Game to Stop Smoking

Hit 'n Run aims to be a mobile game that young people can use as part of their coping mechanism in trying to quit smoking. They use it both as a distraction from physical and psychological craving, and as a way to feel connected to others who are going through similar stages of withdrawal as they are. After four weeks of use, users feel more in control of their quit attempt and are able to deal with situations in which they feel inclined to smoke in a healthier way.
