“Thinking Ethics” Games — EngagingConflicts.com
I like the Thinking Ethics blog, and only wish it were easier to link to direct posts on the site-you can navigate to the categories and specific posts from within the site, but it seems to only give the home page http: address. Here’s about some ethical computer games, posted Monday, April 2:
Role playing
Here are three intresting ethical computer games:
You can help stop the crisis in Darfur as you role play in a refugee camp in www.darfurisdying.com
You can see what it is like to live in poverty and try to stay healthy in Haiti in the Unicef Voices of Youth game Ayiti: The Cost of Life
You can save and rebuild an island in the World Food Program’s Food Force.
Here’s a post about another source of ethical games and puzzles (from March 9) :
Games and puzzles
ERC, the Ethics Resource Center, a site devoted to organizational ethics in the US, has a selection of ethical games and puzzles (mostly crosswods). link here
And another (from Feb. 6):

In case you want to practice - new computer game that is “sweeping the Federal Agencies…”, the US Office of Government Ethics proudly presents… here
Also the Institute of Business Ethics in the UK has some great teaching material - the business cases can be found here.
Thank you, Thinking Ethics!
