Online Pitfalls is an educational mobile game developed for the Hong Kong market to help players recognize and avoid online scams. Through interactive, scenario-based gameplay, users learn how to identify common fraud traps and make safer decisions in digital environments.
The game combines engaging characters, culturally inspired visuals, and reward-driven progression to deliver an effective learning experience on both iOS and Android devices.
The project focuses on delivering a scenario-driven educational game that teaches online safety through experience rather than instruction. Players navigate multiple real-life scam scenarios, where each decision directly affects the outcome, reinforcing awareness through consequences.
With a cheerful visual style inspired by traditional Chinese culture and full Traditional Chinese language support, the game ensures cultural relevance while maintaining smooth performance and strong security standards.
