Sexism and sexual harassment in the workplace are serious problems. But individuals and organisations often cannot recognise the problem and sexism goes unchallenged. This creates an increasingly hostile working environment.

The Antisexism GameTM is a unique game-based app that helps employees and employers understand the levels of perceived sexism and/ or sexual harassment in their workplace.

The Antisexism GameTM combines science and serious games to create a highly engaging diagnostic tool that helps participants recognise sexism in the workplace. It was developed by an academic with 20 years’ expertise researching and teaching the psychology of prejudice.

The Antisexism GameTM explores sexism and sexual harassment in ways that are meaningful in real-world situations. The app helps employees engage in a process of self-assessment. This helps them to decide whether they have witnessed, or experienced, sexism or sexual harassment in the workplace.



10% of profits from Antisexism game will be donated to Rape Crisis

Rape Crisis England & Wales is the feminist charity working to end sexual violence and abuse. They provide specialist information and support to all those affected by rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and all other forms of sexual violence and abuse in England and Wales. They are also the membership organisation for 39 Rape Crisis centres. Together, they aim to educate, influence and make change.


How does it work?


Employers offer employees anonymous access to the app. The app tells individuals if they have witnessed, or experienced, sexism and/ or sexual harassment.

Aggregated anonymous responses are available to employers through a dashboard enabling them to assess whether there are wider issues that need to be addressed. The app can then be used repeatedly to track the impact of any remedial interventions. Are the levels of perceived sexism or sexual harassment decreasing?

All responses are 100% anonymous. Individual players cannot be identified. We pool the responses from all players in your organisation. This will help your organisation understand if sexism is an issue.

The app is intended for individual employees. It works through a web browser on any device and takes a few minutes to complete. There are 2 activities in the app:

  • Bubble Burst - A fast paced game that helps players recognise sexism and sexual harassment.
  • Test Yourself - 3 short questionnaires with a total of 21 questions with yes/no answers. The answers enable the app to indicate if a player has witnessed, or experienced, sexism and/or sexual harassment and how severe it was.
