Dalvia & Tiya Dhillon | Young Game Designers

Dalvia & Tiya Dhillon from Long Riston in Yorkshire won the Game Concept Award (10 to 14 years category) in 2018 for Trapped.

Trapped is a retro 2D story focusing on mental health and a male teenager with day and night segments which act very differently to each other. Dalvia and Tiya specifically chose to set their story in a school to show the impact mental health problems can have on people of their own age. They feel that one of the main appeals of this story-driven game is that players can apply the knowledge obtained in the game and use it when talking about mental health issues.
