A-Eskwadraat is the winner of the Stop Cyberbullying Datathon

The winner of the Xomnia Datathon Stop Cyberbullying is A-Eskwadraat.

What did they create in 24h? Team A-Eskwadraat created a game: Grabbers.

Grabbers is a mobile game which  simulates a social media platform. Instead of advertising this game as  such, we developed a gameplay which draws the attention of children. In  this game, a community communicates through a social media platform on which bullying occurs. The player is a spectator of this bullying and  learns tips n’ tricks via a close friend in the game. This close friend gains the trust of the player and will also ask subtle questions about his/her well-being. From these questions, we extract a profile of the player and provide him with advice accordingly.
