The game is structured as a deck of cards, with each card presenting a question related to academic integrity. The player must follow specific instructions, including logging in, saving progress, and achieving a minimum score to demonstrate their understanding of academic integrity principles. The game emphasizes the importance of respect, dignity, trust, honesty, and fairness in academic work. It concludes that such games are valuable tools for educating students about ethical academic practices and fostering a culture of integrity within academic institutions. References to relevant academic literature are also included to support the design and objectives of the game.
