This project has its origins in two objectives of the institutional policy of ULi\u00e8ge in response to the crisis caused by SARS-CoV-2 to raise awareness among community members of various preventive actions that can reduce the spread of the virus and to inform about the emergence and progression of a pandemic. After almost two years of design, the project resulted in the creation of SARS Wars, a decision-making management game for browsers and smartphones. This article presents the creative process of the game, specifically the integration of an adapted SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered) model, as well as the modeling of intercompartmental circulation dynamics in the game\u2019s algorithm, and the various limitations observed regarding the game\u2019s original missions and possibilities for future work. The SARS-CoV-2 video game project may be considered an innovative way to translate epidemiology into a language that can be used in the scope of citizen sciences. On the one hand, it provides an engaging tool and encourages active participation of the audience. On the other hand, it allows us to have a better understanding of the dynamic changes of a pandemic or an epidemic (crisis preparedness, monitoring, and control) and to anticipate potential consequences in the given parameters at set time (emerging risk identification), while offering insights for impact on some parameters on motivation (social science aspect).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/8205408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]],"date-time":"2023-02-24T18:20:06Z","timestamp":1677262806000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Developing
