Participants assume various roles, such as health care workers and government officials, to navigate a simulated pandemic scenario, highlighting the importance of public health interventions like vaccines and quarantines. The game, developed with input from public health experts, aims to prepare students for future pandemics by modeling real-world behaviors and responses during health crises.
