Abstract: Interactive serious games enhance science-based communication and promote deeper learning about sustainable development. It is yet undiscovered that how can AI-augmented interactive experiences enhance the engagement and spread awareness. This study proposes an AI-augmented digital serious game in public installation format. First, the study introduces a serious board game centered on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 to test the learning aspects and the engagement of the game. The study hypothesizes that a serious game with a clear message, engaging mechanics, and appealing design can significantly enhance understanding of sustainability's relevance to everyday life. Using a Research through Design (RtD) approach, the study incorporated iterative feedback from pilot tests. These tests highlighted the effectiveness of problem-solving and group discussions in fostering engagement. The insights directly informed the design of the digital version, which emphasizes streamlined and accessible gameplay.
