Everyone showed great interest and participation, not only in the game but also in the discussion about the Millennium Development Goals. Feedback coming from youth were greatly satisfactory regarding the game dynamics and contents, and this represent for us the best possible conclusion of what has been a hard working period on game development and testing. For this reason the realization of the competition turned out really satisfactory for us and for all the participants!
