The game was commissioned by the Library of Rotterdam and the City of Rotterdam. It was developed to celebrate 550 years since the birth of Erasmus (in Rotterdam) and 500 years since the publication of his most important book. His writing dealt with topics including language, behaviour and ethics. According to Erasmus, it is essential that people enter a dialogue to understand each other, and this is exactly what Switch instigates.
Before its release, the game was rigorously tested with 3 different Rotterdam schools over the course of a year. The game has been published in both English and Dutch.
Made in collaboration with WDKA Gamification class.
