Abstract: Nowadays, there are many new health viruses that continue to exist anywhere that people can be affected. Knowing and familiarizing its symptoms, signs and effect can help elevate the health condition. As games can be a tool to educate the people, the researcher designed the application as 3D Educational Game using Unity, Adobe Photoshop CC, Blender for the 3D models, FL Studio for the in-game sounds, and C# as the programming language. As players progress through the game, there are levels to be unlocked along with health viruses such as: Diarrhea, Dengue, and COVID-19. The project was tested and improved using functionality and the compatibility test cases. Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) was adopted to evaluate the system. There are 37 end-users and 10 I.T experts participated in the testing procedure to measure the functionality of the game accordingly with a total average of 3.49 mean and standard deviation of 0.44 interpreted as the game provides enough information on the three health viruses presented in the game. The evaluation results of the applications proves that application is an effective tool, informative and enjoyable way to spread awareness about health viruses introduced in the game.
