The population of interest are children, in middle school. The subjects aren’t as social and they are chosen based on a survey that was given to every student. The survey consists of questions that determine how socially active the student is, about amount of friends, activities they participate in, etc. The lowest 30 grades are chosen, indicating that they aren’t very social, and some may have social anxiety and the highest 30 grades are chosen to compare to those. The game is designed to allow other players to have a social life, interact with others and have this impact their real life. In the game, the more social you are and the more friends you have the more points you get to level up. Throughout the game there are also messages that explains to the players how its okay to become friends with others and gives tips on creating conversations. Essentially each player have to create friends and location can also be enabled to create friends around your area.
