In Nigeria, kids are learning to dodge a deadly parasitic worm disease through a game called “Schisto & Ladders”—a twist on Chutes & Ladders that teaches them how to avoid schistosomiasis, or “Bloody Urine,” by landing on squares that warn of infection or reward smart choices like visiting health centers. Developed by researcher Cynthia Umunnakwe, the game’s playful design turns health education into play, with real-world results: over two-thirds of students learned about life-saving treatment and were more willing to take it. This clever, interactive tool isn’t just fun—it’s empowering young minds to break the cycle of disease and build healthier futures.
