Gamification enhances learner engagement and motivation by integrating game mechanics such as rewards, challenges, and immediate feedback into educational content. Research has consistently shown that digital and simulation-based environments provide more effective learning experiences than traditional classroom lecture style instruction. In the context of global health education, gamified tools promote deeper engagement, hands-on skill development, and better long-term retention of knowledge.¹ These benefits make gamification an ideal framework for designing a communicable disease outbreak simulation game. Particularly of tuberculosis (TB) set in a high-burden, real-world context like Jahangirpuri, Delhi.
