# Introduction This data was collected from August 1st to 17th, 2017 in 11 schools in Karnataka, India during the roll-out of a tablet-based game whose aims were a) to educate teens about reproductive health and b) collect data on teens' life goals. The data available here were either collected in-game or derived from a pencil-and-paper post-game questionnnaire. The associated paper is currently under review and will be linked to once published. Code from the project is available [here][1]. The design metaphor for the game is a player walking through the valley of life, encountering 5 milestones: Become an Adult, Finish Schooling, Meet a Future Spouse, Get Married, Have Children. At each milestone, players unlock a mini-game that teaches them about puberty, intercourse, reproduction, and conception, respectively. At the beginning of each mini-game, players are asked to indicate the age at which they hope to reach the milestone and the main influencers on their decisions regarding the milestone. For example, a player could indicate that she wants to be 22 when she has her first child and that her mother and teacher are the most important influences on this decision. A video of gameplay and more information about the project are available at the [My Future Family website][2]. The game was built in Unity version 5.5. **NOTE: The links in column names are an OSF bug! Links are unrelated to the project, a help ticket has been submitted.** ### Short Descriptions: * **all_game_data.csv**: All in-game events, including timestamps and device IDs. * **demog.csv**: Demographic data from all_game_data.csv, reformatted for ease of use. * **milestones.csv**: Milestone events from all_game_data.csv, with less relevant column names removed. * **minigames.csv**: Minigame events from all_game_data.csv, with less relevant column names removed. * **questionnaire.csv**: Data collected from the post-game questionnaire. # Detailed Documentation ### all_game_data.csv All in-game events, including timestamps and device IDs. 15,653 rows, where each row represents a single sub-event in a single game. * **device.id**: alphanumeric.
