SUMMARY
Interactive I Installation I CGI
Ogilvy & Chicago Fire Department Foundation approached us to create a fully interactive UE4 game, replacing fire training in K-12 grades, nationally. If we can save one life, we can save one future.
The project is a new vision for fire training. Students in K-12 grades go through different chapters of extensive training, making choices and learning about the consequences. After the training is complete, the students are left on their own, in an attempt to exit out of a burning house towards safety, and call 911.
The project creates an extensive database and gathers large data, revealing to firefighters across the U.S. how different students in different grades, schools and neighborhoods did, in an attempt to advance learning.
Firefighters, governors, mayors and many, many other people saw this as one of the most important projects to come to life. Our goal was to save a life.
The project rolled out in over 1,000+ schools, making its way to classrooms across different cities and states nationwide.

Case Study
HOW WE MADE IT
We’ve created and coded this experience from ground up. Each choice a student makes determines their outcome, and each choice registers.
We’ve scouted many apartments to find the perfect one, and fully recreate it inside Unreal Engine for an interactive educational game.
Touch things, select things, and learn things. By the end of the projects, students showed an astonishing 90% success rate.
