Short summary
There is limited evidence on the potential of disaster risk management (DRM) games. This study explores the potential of serious games for improving DRM. We employed a qualitative approach combining content analysis of serious games with an online survey of experts featuring open-ended questions. For the first time, this paper provides a list of recommended features for a DRM game. The results can be of great help for teachers and game designers to improve DRM.
