One New Message, a resilience and coping strategies game One New Message is an award-winning video game about resilience and coping strategies for adolescents. One New Message was developed by Eloise Best and is the winning game from the 2022 Resilience Game Design Challenge from the Gaming Against Violence program presented by Jennifer Ann's Group, a nonprofit charity.

One New Message is an engaging visual novel with a distinctive style, relatable scenarios, and lo-fi beats.

In One New Message, players navigate the daily life of a student. As they do so they are challenged: to recognize when they are stressed-out; to apply various coping strategies to help them manage their stress; and to make better decisions once their stress levels have been reduced and they can respond more reasonably.

This game focuses on recognizing and fostering resilience by addressing coping strategies, self-awareness, and stress reduction. One New Message offers a free standards-aligned lesson plan.

One New Message is a featured resilience resource on the PBS website.
