Hyp otheses were tested with data from the participants , collected shortly after their experiences, related to the ove rall perceived quality of game-based interventions. The findings reveal a higher overall perception of quality towar ds BG 1 : (a) better for testing strategies, (b) offering b etter business and market models, (c) based on a pace tha t better stimulates learning, and (d) presenting a fidelity level that better supports real world performance.
