A Role-Switching Mechanic for Reflective Decision-Making Game

This research introduces a design methodology for serious games aimed at enhancing player reflexivity regarding decision-making processes.

• A role-switching mechanic, where players alternate between investigator and game leader roles, is an effective design methodology for enhancing player reflexivity regarding cognitive biases.
• The game design specifically targets overconfidence bias by utilizing cognitive science principles like anchoring and confirmation bias to manipulate player decision-making.
• By experiencing both the investigator's role in solving cases and the game leader's role in controlling information flow, players gain a meta-perspective on how their judgments are influenced.
