A minor change in the average Singaporean’s diet would be sufficient to ensure long-term food sustainability (Deloitte & A*Star, 2019). This project attempted to raise NUS students’ awareness of the impacts of their food choices through a scenario-based web game. The game includes familiar and relatable choices from various canteens in NUS. These choices were assigned scores based on LCA and users were informed of their environmental consequences. A sample size of 60 was chosen, out of which 30 students played the game and 30 acted as a control. A test was then administered to gauge the awareness of the different groups, with the experimental group scoring 17% higher. A hypothesis test was used to determine the statistical validity of the test results. The test showed there was a significant improvement in test scores of users who played the game (95% Confidence), confirming the effectiveness of our implementation.
