Resumo

This article presents the development of an educational digital game inspired by the game Overcooked, designed to teach and raise awareness among its players about the selective collection of solid waste in a fun, engaging, and cooperative way for players of all ages. The game combines elements of challenge and teamwork to engage players while demonstrating the importance of proper waste management through interactive scenarios. A case study involving 31 volunteer participants used an adapted version of the MEEGA+ model to evaluate the game. The results indicated that blending entertainment with education can effectively promote environmental awareness and encourage eco-friendly behavior among young and adult audiences.
