The prototype used in this project attempts to train new bartenders the basics of bartending including the process of making drinks and learning a wide array of recipes. The prototype is part of a wider study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of how serious games can be used to teach and train. This scenario focusses on using games to train new-comers to the hospitality industry.

This project specifically makes use of Games-Based Learning (GBL). GBL strives to use the fun and competitive nature of games to provoke a desire to voluntarily engage in the learning. In theory, GBL betters the retention of knowledge within the learner. This project hopes to strengthen the evidence of that.
