Team designs ‘Jelly Shop’ to protect seniors from online scams

Team behind ‘Jellytastic 6’ is one of three winners of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Game Changers programme.

Ho Ying Ying and Jaime Lau Aik Seng are the only Malaysians in the winning team of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Game Changers programme. Freelance web developer Ho Ying Ying, 27, told FMT Lifestyle that her own father once fell victim to scammers when he received a random message requesting his WhatsApp code link.

For instance, shoppers at Jelly Shop may encounter wrongly tagged items, vague messages and confusing scenarios.“Of course, a game like this cannot possibly educate everyone on the different types of scams there are,” explained Lau, although it was a start, he said. This year, 75 participants from the region were selected to participate in the programme. Thirteen teams were subsequently formed when they gathered in KL for a four-day in-person workshop in May.“One of the reasons why I wanted to join Game Changers was because they were offering all these workshops and valuable insights from industry experts from around the world. The second reason is because we really wanted to make a game for social impact,” said Ho.

“Our target audience are people who are above 50 years old. Many of them expressed that they really do need training because some of them were business owners and some were dropshippers. But they didn’t even know how to independently order things online for their businesses. We knew this was a gap that we could help fill,” Ho recounted.Moving forward, Ho and Lau hope social impact games like “Jelly Shop”, available by year end, can help society live more informed lives.
