Open deur?! - Serious game for students
Step into someone else's world with Open Deur?! A game commissioned by the Anne Frank House. To teach mbo students how to deal with diversity.
“Students often live in their own bubble, it is important to make them aware of this and to break through it. Open deur?! offers students a safe world to take a first step and make real contact with the other. Meeting and connecting is central. I am proud of the joint result and that through Open deur?! can contribute to this!”

How the game open deur?! was born
What would you do?
Stepping into the world of the other is the first step. The student does this by stepping into the shoes of Stephen, a 19-year-old mbo student who finds a mysterious package at the door of his flat. He has 24 hours to deliver the package to the right resident. How he does this and how the acquaintance goes, is determined by the student as a player. Stephen's flat has 7 residents, with various backgrounds and stories. The students always decide for themselves which choices Stephen makes. Do they take the time to introduce Stephen to the residents and let him listen to their story, or do the students let Stephen head straight for his target?
Dealing with diversity
Through the game, students get to know others and themselves. Dealing with diversity, in particular gender, religion and ethnicity, is central. The interactive game connects by introducing young people to personal stories, emotions and multiple perspectives. By asking open questions, listening to various experiences and continuing to ask, they find the owner of the package.
The educational goal
The students learn that by asking open questions, being curious and listening to various experiences, they come into better contact with the other person. Being open to differences and other opinions helps students to move around and connect with others. Important skills that help the student in their daily life and internship. Open deur?! is also in line with the MBO Citizenship curriculum within the political-legal and social dimension and promotes critical thinking skills.
Active citizenship
What did you learn at the end of the game? During the game you will discover that with an open attitude and genuine interest you can really connect with the other person. Important skills that help the student further in their career and also contribute to active citizenship.
