In the class of “Design and Play”,<\/strong> the goal was to make a game on Human Body.<\/strong> Their idea was to create a play experience through the game for the topic often uncomfortable to many. From Pads to Tampons to Menstrual cups. This award winning<\/strong> game helps you talk about it all without feeling any kind of awkwardness by making it super fun.<\/strong> It\u2019s great for Schools, cool parents, friends<\/strong> to learn a little in the most entertaining way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
