Against All Odds

Against All Odds is an Adobe Flash video game developed by UNHCR designed to teach players about the plight of refugees.

In Against All Odds, the player takes the role of a refugee and plays through twelve stages – depicting his persecution and flight from his native country, through to eventual integration into a foreign country as an asylum seeker. Complementing the game is a facts repository detailing the history of asylum and refugee testimonies. A teacher's guide section provides discussion points and lesson ideas for the classroom. The game takes approximately 45 minutes to play through, coinciding with the typical length of a lesson.[
