Do victims choose abuse?

What would you choose?

An Immersive, Experiential, Deliberative Activity

In "You Choose Abuse," participants embark on a thought-provoking journey that combines storytelling, interactive scenarios, and group discussions. This game was created to provide a glimpse into the complex dynamics of domestic abuse, shedding light on the various forms it can take.

This website is a platform for participants to engage in open and honest conversations about domestic abuse. Guided discussions help parse through the intricacies of each scenario and establish a safe space for sharing experiences and perspectives.

What to Expect

Interstitials

In between the scenarios, there will be a variety of activities, literature reviews, testimonials, and educational resources to provide more depth and opportunities for understanding. 

The Results

The content provided to us through the play of this game will be collected anonymously. We will organize, analyze, and publish the results for further development of this game for training and educational purposes.
