NCIS celebrates 15 years of fighting cancer by launching a mobile game “NCIS Fights Cancer”
As part of its 15th anniversary as a national centre for cancer, the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) marked the occasion with the launch of the "NCIS Celebrates Life" carnival.
The two-day family carnival, held on 4 and 5 November 2023 at Suntec City Atrium (Tower 3 & 4), will highlight NCIS’ achievements, honour cancer survivors, aim to educate the public on cancer treatment and developments, and raise funds to advance cancer research.
As part of the celebrations, NCIS announced the launch of NCIS Fights Cancer, a specially commissioned web-based mobile game to raise funds for NCIS Cancer Fund while educating players on cancer prevention and screening.
In this free web game, players aim to obtain high scores by avoiding obstacles and collecting objects. Players can acquire more game attempts by taking actions such as donating to the NCIS Cancer Fund or sharing a cancer-related health tip.
For example, a player could share that, “Cigarette smoke contains about 40 different cancer-causing substances” and “Chemicals found in salted or preserved food, such as salted fish or pickled vegetables, may lead to stomach and nasopharynx cancers. Always remember to eat in moderation!”
There are also in-game objects players can share information about. This could be “Vegetables contain fibre and vitamins, which can help to reduce your risk of developing colorectal and stomach cancers. Add them to your daily meals” or “Did you know that orange and yellow fruits such as cantaloupes and grapefruits, contain more vitamins and minerals that can help you reduce the risk of colorectal and stomach cancers?”
From now to 31 December 2023, there will be weekly prizes for top scorers on the leaderboard, while the Top 20 highest scorers in the final leaderboard on 31 December 2023 will be crowned the overall champions. Winners will be announced on the NCIS Facebook and Instagram pages in January 2024.
Prizes for the first seven weeks’ leaderboards (ending on 12 Nov, 19 Nov, 26 Nov, 3 Dec, 10 Dec, 17 Dec and 24 Dec) include a pair of Razer Kraken V3 X Headphones, a pair of GV Gold Class vouchers, and NTUC vouchers.
The prizes for the Top 20 highest scorers include a Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Wireless Mouse plus a pair of Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Headphones, a Nespresso Vertuo Pop coffee machine, and NTUC vouchers.
