Quality Label
Certified Serious Games

To promote the quality of Serious Games, based on the knowledge gained from the development of the Serious Games Information Center and the elaboration of the Serious Games Metadata Format (SG-MDF, DIN SPEC 91380) as well as comprehensive experience based on discussions with stakeholders of the Serious Games market in the context of the technology transfer project WTT Serious Games, the socalled RAL Serious Games Gütegemeinschaft e.V. has been founded. The overall aim of that Serious Games “lobby” association is to promote the quality of serious games in general and to provide a quality label (“stamp”) for good Serious Games. The quality label offers potential users/customers valuable information about the quality of the described serious games and thus facilitates the decision whether a game should be purchased/used or not.
