educational virtual reality game, the Design Review Simulator (DRS) with the aim to helpstudents build design review skills. The game was designed to challenge the students in findingand evaluating various types of design mistakes. In this paper, we discuss the development of thegame and frame it in light of the existing literature to further understand the value of VR in thedesign process. In addition to the development experience, we offer a plan for the implementationand evaluation of the game with an assessment instrument designed for the game.2. LITERATURE REVIEW2.1.
