Effectiveness of the Serious Game 'Broodles' for Siblings of Children With Visual Impairment and/or Intellectual Disability

The serious game 'Broodles' is a newly developed web-based, educational game that can be played by siblings on a computer or tablet without support from an adult. The game discusses the nine domains of sibling quality of life (Moyson \& Roeyers, 2012) in eight 20-minute levels. The main characters of the game are the Broodles, which are little monster creatures that experience things that siblings of children with ID and/or VI can also experience. The game includes animations, videos of siblings talking about their experiences, quizzes and mini-games. These elements are focussed on emotions, thoughts and difficult situations that siblings can experience. In addition to the game, siblings make offline worksheets and parents receive an information brochure. Siblings complete the game in four weeks.
