The Regroupement Étudiant Franco-Ontarien and WASA Games teamed up to create a serious game about the history of Franco-Ontarian education. The goal of the game Diplo Franco is to get as many points as possible. To win points, earn diplomas! Answer quiz questions to accumulate cards and collect the Diplomas of your choice. Claim the diplomas on your Character card to earn extra points.

This bilingual game is an ideal tool for learning more about the past and present of Francophone education in Ontario. Its purpose is to raise awareness of these issues, especially the situation surrounding postsecondary education. Diplo Franco is made for students in Ontario and the general public. Perfect for playing at home, at conventions, at schools, in a workshop format, with up to six players or in groups with up to six teams.

Ce projet est réalisé grâce au Programme d’appui à la francophonie canadienne, une coopération intergouvernementale entre le gouvernement du Québec et celui de l’Ontario.
