Automatic Calibration for a Mutual Insurance System in a Multi-Player Serious Game

In the context of a serious educational game that motivates children to adopt more sustainablehome-to-school mobility habits, we designed and implemented a collaborative multi-player mutual insurancesystem, with the intent to support low-performing players with the help of high-performing ones. As apreliminary step towards a field study evaluating this new game mechanic, in this paper we present the designand the development for an automatic calibration of the system, simulating the effects of the choices for eachparameter in the player's game progression.
