- It is a unique opportunity to reach very many, very young people who may not be reached by our information that we publish in the traditional way, says Cecilia Tengroth, Chief of Staff at the Red Cross in Stockholm

Fortnite is an online game that was launched in 2017. The action takes place on a deserted island and is basically about finding weapons and other aids, then killing each other or avoiding being killed. Finally, only one player remains, who is then the winner.

Healthcare shit instead of weapons

But now the game has been given a new position: Liferun. There, the player can choose to save the lives of their opponents instead of killing them. Instead of weapons, you carry a medical kit and you compete by saving civilians, rebuilding destroyed infrastructure and distributing emergency aid as quickly as possible.

- You have added that you can play healthcare or humanitarian personnel and you collect points by doing humanitarian work instead of killing or war as in the other parts of the game, says Cecilia Tengroth.

She thinks it should be fun to play and sees nothing problematic that Fortnite is basically still about shooting and killing.
