Doorstep scams, scams in which con artists tell convincing but fraudulent stories in order to enter the house of a victim and/or steal personal belongings or information, have a high impact on victims. These victims are often elderly people. Existing campaigns mostly focus on the behavioural aspects that help to prevent a doorstep scam from happening, but verbal skills also contribute to the resilience of possible victims. In this research, a serious game is designed and evaluated for this purpose. The results of the evaluation are positive. The serious game is specifically seen as a valuable addition to existing training meetings.

一款严肃的游戏，可提高针对门口骗局的语言适应能力

门阶骗局（骗子骗子以骗子讲述令人信服却又欺诈性的故事，以便进入受害者的屋子和/或窃取个人物品或信息的骗局）对受害者具有重大影响。这些受害者通常是老年人。现有的运动大多侧重于行为方面，这些方面有助于防止门前骗局的发生，但口头表达技巧也有助于提高可能的受害者的应变能力。在这项研究中，为此目的设计并评估了一款严肃的游戏。评估结果是肯定的。严肃的比赛特别被视为对现有培训会议的宝贵补充。
