Earthquake in Zipland is a computer game aimed at helping children who's parents are undergoing divorce to cope with it. Game designer & therapist Chaya Harash says that it is the “first research-based psychological computer game designed to help children deal indirectly with divorce and separation.”[1]
The quest takes the child on an adventure full of colorful characters and challenging tasks, while dealing indirectly with a number of important issues such as anger, guilt, loyalty conflicts, the fantasy to reunite the divorced parents and other emotional effects of divorce on children.
Designed to increase communication between parents and children, the game comes with a comprehensive Parent’s Guide with tips and information on how to use the game with the child most effectively.
Earthquake in Zipland is also recommended for therapists and school counselors as an innovative form of interactive play therapy, as well as a tool for support groups dealing with children of divorce. The interactive story includes all the proven benefits of bibliotherapy brought to life on screen.
The game is available in 2 versions, For Parents and Children & For Therapists and Helping Professionals.
