In a world that has been impacted by COVID-19 (AKA Coronavirus), the term ‘social distancing’ has become a common phrase that has left people feeling anxious and isolated. The COVID Survival Game allows you to practice how to maintain the recommended ‘6-feet’ (2 meter) physical distance from other game characters while walking down the virtual street.

WIth all the different information in the news and social media, it may be confusing what really needs to be done to protect ourselves from COVID-19. This game provides some key COVID-19 facts and mythbuster statements with reliable sources of information prepared by medical experts. Share the game and play with family, friends, classmates and coworkers to connect socially and to help them learn how to protect themselves from COVID.

The goal of the game is to walk as far as you can while keeping your player at least 6 feet from all other characters on the screen. As the game has you walking forward, you will need to tap and hold the screen to the left or right of the player in order to maneuver around the other characters.

It is game over when you get within 6 feet of another character. At the end of each game, you will receive reliable COVID-19 facts obtained from reliable websites such as CDC and WHO that teaches you how to protect yourself from COVID.
