The transition from face-to-face teaching to online platform delivery for many institutions has presented positive examples of medical educators' problem-solving abilities. However, this has led to many online sessions following identical formats, providing highly similar learning experiences for students' week-after-week with less variety than from face-to-face deliveries. The use of serious games, which are games primarily focussed on education, to teach medical and health sciences has…
